Why don't you just straight out answer they're question?
Is it required to own or have published a website or domain name to qualify for A.E.B.N's Webmaster Affiliate Program? Yes? or No?

In that same reasoning then.., Where does it say that I'm required to provide credentials of any sort that I'm a certified Webmaster?
I can get a free account just about anywhere on the Internet now today, click a few options and check a few boxes and "WAH-LAAH" I got a webpage publised.
So... whats being a webmaster have anything to do with your question?

I actually DID answer that question with my response "If you have a domain..." and requested a one-on-one contact so I could help.

BUT. Since you want a more comprehensive answer for someone else's question:
There does have to be a webpage under your purview/ management so you have somewhere to put the resultant links. There are those who will put their affiliate links on their xpeeps or other networking pages - it can be done - but it doesn't usually prove to be very lucrative and works much better on a fully dedicated domain so traffic can be optimised.

The question wasn't about what is "lucrative" or not.
So basically with just an xpeeps profile I'm qualified for access to webmaters webshell & promotional products and material? correct?

I don't make judgment calls about "qualified," but you can certainly create an account and access the sales tools. But without a destination page, they are fairly useless to the affiliate.

So, net/net: I had already answered the question as it was originally posed - there would have to be a page. Due to your additional questions, I fleshed it out a little more to resolve the most usual questions.

I am curious, though, as to what constitutes a "certified" webmaster. I haven't seen that certification before. Can I get it through University of Phoenix?

So then why is everyone wondering and complaining about a saturated porn market? and why sales have dropped?
Aside from now having access to millions of free clips and photos and other "So-called" paid promotional material, then who the fuck needs to buy porn anymore???
Keep in mind this is referring to about 98% of sponsors offering so-called FREE promo material

As for certified? Besides a few Microsoft paid certification and possibly a school diploma. This is all I can think of as proof.

Your missing my point Madam Liz, it's not about being a QUALIFIED Webmaster, Just the point that this jaycuzzi character, "who hasn't returned yet" needed to even ask this question. should be proof enough that he is possibly not a webmaster. But now he probably has access to shitloads of free AEBN porn, So why would he even need to purchase anything anymore?
Now I'm sure you could probably come up with some sort of sponsor representative to say how great business is and sales are booming. But ask the little guy webmaster if he feels the same way, and tell me you get the same answer?

wow your pretty cynical. and im not a character im a real person. people using the barrier of the enternet to be rude when they would otherwise never talk to certain people that way in person . anyway thats another message board altogether. How else do you learn if you dont ask questions. How would anyone start and succeed if they listened to the rude cynical unhelpful remarks that some people spew on these boards.\

1) Cynical is the person who paints pretty pictures with flowering words to impress.
Bluntness is just a straight out reply and to the point, no buttercup flavored sales pitch.

2) I'm in TampaBay, feel free to email me for my business number and I'll be more than happy to express my same exact thoughts and opinions either threw phone or in person.

3) In my eyes your just a character here, I don't know you from squat, you about has real as a wet dream to me right now.

4) I don't recall at any minute ever criticizing, oppressing, or shunning your question.
so I don't know where you got that idea.

and

5) Care to emphasize at what point my remark was unhelpful?

Thanks, rCourt, for your answer, although I don't think a certification in Microsoft is necessarily qualification for webmastering.

It's interesting to note that you comment that Jaycuzzi "probably has access to shitloads of free AEBN porn" - when he would have access to the same sales tools any of our affiliates do (such as yourself), but would not be provided with free minutes or similar.

I am curious, though, since you brought it up, what your solution is to the "
98% of sponsors offering so-called FREE promo material" - what is the solution, to your mind, to drive traffic if not through promotional material? I don't think the problem is the material itself, if it's constructed in such a way as to be a tease. But I would like to hear your solutions.

It's really easy to tar anyone with the big, nasty brush of ruining the industry, but harder to give credit to those who try to further it and provide constructive, useful suggestions.

Hello -

You know, some of you in this thread should be really embarrassed right now.

Newcomer "Jaycuzzi" came to Orpano (with the tag line "The Business of Porn") and asked a very simple question (which you did not have to apologize for btw, Jaycuzzi). And instead of answering his question Gonzo (the WEBMASTER of this board), you spanked him with a "Why else would you sign up?" response. Did you happen to notice that this question wasn't even directed at you?

Next, LizAEBN gives him a perfect, professional answer. This thread should have ended right there.

But no. "RCourt64", who didn't seem to read Liz's response, has to spank Liz with a "Why don't you just straight out answer they're question?". Pretty rude.

The Gonzo spanks RCourt with a "Im not an account rep jack ass." !!!!

This is pretty unprofessional behavior from a site that touts itself to be "The Business of Porn" and to be honest, pretty embarrasing too. All Jaycuzzi wanted was a simple answer to a question, and it turned into a mud-sling.

Jaycuzzi: Please allow me to give you your first official Welcome to the Adult Internet Business. I promise you that there are plenty of solid, smart business people out there (Like Liz and APril of AEBN) that are willing to give you lots of GOOD advice.

There are also plenty of other boards out there with for you to explore. If you don't get the answers you need, please don't stop looking around.

Good luck,

Mark Prince

Jaycuzzi,

Welcome to Oprano....I think AEBN rocks! They have provided me with great theaters to compliment many of our sites and we are very new. We have had success despite all the free porn out there - people still pay. AEBN has been a really honest and safe affiliate program no scams or games going on behind the scenes and the traffic and clicks I have sent really end up there and convert.

I am very new but have seen some success and some failures as well - and without starting another thread on the negative I can tell you be careful who you do business with and whom you choose to affiliate yourself with. Search the affiliate programs for the complaints and check this board for some of the proof about those that skim and redirect and have so called "technical errors" that take your traffic and sales.

The terminology webmaster can be defined broadly and the TOS (terms of service) of most of the affiliate programs do not list credentials you must have to use the title. But to be successful at driving traffic and converting sales there is a lot to learn and some is trial and error. Keep asking questions and check cozyfrog they have some useful information to help get you started.

Good luck!

Gonzo: You're right, sorry, I forgot. You don't appreciate my advice so I'll refrain from offering it to you again.

Shellee: Well said! It might also be good advice for newbies to look at companies who have built something, that have real products out there, and who have been in this business for years before considering anything they have to say. And moreso, Beware of those who are "experts on everything" but have nothing more than a string of domain names with placeholder pages as "proof" of their "expertise". There are lots of posers out there.

Cheers all!

Can you show me an average account of how many of AEBN sales are obtained through retention? and what kind of percentage is from new customers?
Don't misunderstand me please Liz, I know your not in a position to divulge aebns financial income status, But I'm sure you could come up with some sort of general percentage stats for the public to back your answer please. If you don't know... "Go ask your boss" what was that chess playing guys name again???

You know, some of you in this thread should be really embarrassed right now.

Newcomer "Jaycuzzi" came to Orpano (with the tag line "The Business of Porn") and asked a very simple question (which you did not have to apologize for btw, Jaycuzzi). And instead of answering his question Gonzo (the WEBMASTER of this board), you spanked him with a "Why else would you sign up?" response. Did you happen to notice that this question wasn't even directed at you?

Next, LizAEBN gives him a perfect, professional answer. This thread should have ended right there.

But no. "RCourt64", who didn't seem to read Liz's response, has to spank Liz with a "Why don't you just straight out answer they're question?". Pretty rude.

The Gonzo spanks RCourt with a "Im not an account rep jack ass." !!!!

This is pretty unprofessional behavior from a site that touts itself to be "The Business of Porn" and to be honest, pretty embarrasing too. All Jaycuzzi wanted was a simple answer to a question, and it turned into a mud-sling.

Jaycuzzi: Please allow me to give you your first official Welcome to the Adult Internet Business. I promise you that there are plenty of solid, smart business people out there (Like Liz and APril of AEBN) that are willing to give you lots of GOOD advice.

There are also plenty of other boards out there with for you to explore. If you don't get the answers you need, please don't stop looking around.
She didn't answer his question, she threw him a sales pitch line.
and I ask for a more specific and clear form of an answer for this guys question, (reasoning already posted above)

Hey..? Your really into that spanking thing, huh?
you seem to enjoy this word allot
Here maybe you might enjoy some FREE AEBN SPANKING PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL FOR WEBMASTERS ONLY

and last, from what few comments & observation I've had with Mr. GonZo, he is very protective and careering when it comes to anything related to AEBN, so I expected a nasty comment like this from him. But he is never insulting and is very open arms to newbies & pros alike.
So don't judge a man from just one sentence.

Im still not ashamed.
How are you a webmaster if you dont have a website?

Its not a matter of being rude or protective. Its a simple quetion like how can you call yourself a driver if you dont have a car?

I will be in San Fran as well. Maybe you can explain it there.

You have 2 of the best reps in the company willing to give you some assistance as well. And Liz was honest in telling you that you will be disapoiinted if you are looking to be succesful with using Xpeeps as a promo tool.

I guess they could link from blogger, myspace, wordpress.com, etc at least until they got shut down.

it's bad, cost of entry is already too low and now they dont even wanna have a website.

I didnt think of that.
Mailing came to my mind too quick.

Those still would be considered websites of sorts...remember how I had that free host way back and grew that guys blowjob pay site out of it?

He started with a free host and tapped the bj market right in the beginning.

I never understood how he just shut everything down once Visa wanted the $750. I saw those checks.... hell those checks were coming to me.

It could be done way back then but I have my doubts of starting any site that could turn lucrative using any sort of free host.

Hes welcome to try though. Everyone here can have a free blog!

If AEBN supports CNAME, in theory you could buy a domain and just point it at that them. You'd need a GOOD domain to see any real returns though.

A couple of the products support CNAME.
Contact your rep for some more information.

Actually, the entirety of his question was "do I have to have a website?"

I responded with "If you have a domain..." Which is an answer to the question he actually asked.

Because different webmasters have differnt goals, visions, and requirements, I am loathe to delinate them at length on a board just in case I hit on the right one -- so I asked him to contact either me or April directly. It seems to me HAD I gone to lengths to describe the myraid ways AEBN can work with a site, that would've been a sales pitch - saying "I'm happy to talk to you" hardly qualifies.

Should you like to discuss retention, I would be happy to do so at greater length off-board. However, the short answer is this: there are any number of webmasters who never make any money at all, simply because they do not promote their own site, refresh their galleries, use tools available to them, or other factors. There are other webmasters who make several thousand dollars a month in new and recurring revenues because they make their dites a priority. Much depends on the webmaster's approach.

As for "chess-playing guy," I really couldn't say - I've never known Jerry to play chess, but I will happily admit if I am mistaken.

We can, do, and the domain is key.

I would caution, however, that we are not positioned to create branding if it doesn't already exisit.

rCourt, I actually did answer your questions - every question you've asked in this thread, I've answered. And yet, though you said you were going to answer mine, you never did.

Typical male...
