Over the next few months PrideBucks will be presenting webmasters with several opportunities to get some additional traffic to their sites. To start things off in June, PrideBucks is giving away free traffic generating banner placements. Three winners will have the opportunity to place a banner linking to one of their sites for 1 week. The banner placements will be on one of PrideBucks’ high converting traffic sites. The first 2 winners will get a 175×250 banner on either side of PrideBucks’ Top Ten Site. The third winner will get the 468×80 banner located at the top of PrideBucks’ Best Gay Hardcore site.

To participate, webmasters just need to send sales through their PrideBucks account between June 8th and June 28. Each sale earns a ticket that counts toward a chance of winning. At the end of each week, that’s every Friday (June 15th, 22nd & 29th), PrideBucks will conduct a drawing. Winners will be announced on a thread at Unity360.

Watch for more traffic give away promos in July and August.

Doggone Media, a product of Badpuppy, has just announced the launch of a new, user friendly, interface for their Video On Demand site DogGoneVideo.

The sponsor claims their product is unique and stands out from all the VOD venues, because they deliver movies in FLASH. Doggone Media states that, “visitors and members will really enjoy the superior audio and video that the FLASH streams will deliver.”

New promotional tools are inside the webmaster lounge, as well.

The sponsor has added hundreds of MGP and TGP galleries webmasters can use on their sites, or use to promote on other TGP & MGP gallery sites. A new TGP and MGP gallery page is added every day. You can customize your choice of gallery pages 9 ways to Sunday, choosing all or specific categories. There are 18 categories to select from and you can choose specific or mix and match. Unfortunately text descriptions are not offered, but there is unique text on each gallery that can be used.

According to the Pew Internet & American Life Project the volume of spam is growing in Americans’ personal and workplace email accounts, but email users are less bothered by it.

Spam continues to plague the Internet as more Americans than ever say they are getting more spam than in the past. But while American Internet users report increasing volumes of spam, they also indicate that they are less bothered by it than before. Users have become more sophisticated about dealing with spam; fully 71% of email users use filters offered by their email provider or employer to block spam. Users also report less exposure to pornographic spam, which to many people is the most offensive type of unsolicited email. Spam has not become a significant deterrent to the use of email, as some observers speculated it might when unsolicited email first began flooding users’ inboxes several years ago. But it continues to degrade the integrity of email. Some 55% of email users say they have lost trust in email because of spam.

The $50 signups are good for both new and established Max Cash Affiliates, but this is an INVITE ONLY promo. So, if you want to make $50 signups all day on the 23rd, 24th and 25th of May you must contact the sponsor with your Max Cash account name.

Badpuppy CEO Bill Pinyon remembers a time when he thought Badpuppy might be a bad idea, but he says that 12 years later, he couldn’t be happier with Badpuppy’s success and longevity. “Every single day I remember where I came from and am thankful for everything that I have. It has taken a lot of work and patience, but if I had to do it over again, I would,” he said.

Badpuppy started up in 1995 as a hobby based out of Pinyon’s bedroom — on an Intel 486-based computer. The company describes their technology now as a “huge high-tech network” with Dell PowerEdge servers.

“Our biggest goal for Badpuppy is to maintain our position in the industry and stay at the forefront in a market that is far more saturated than our early days,” Badpuppy Marketing and Advertising Manager Lisa Turner commented in an interview with XBIZ. “In order to continue to be the leader of the pack, it takes twice as much effort as it did 10-12 years ago.”

Turner said currently the most popular and lucrative feature on the Badpuppy site is their streaming videos; they are the most frequented areas and so the company adds four new models every week.

The company is now turning efforts to building their brand for DogGoneVideo, Badpuppy’s video-on-demand company.

“[We are] marketing hard to both the consumer industry and the adult industry,” Badpuppy CEO Bill Pinyon told XBIZ. “I personally would love to double or even triple our affiliates, and [we] will put a lot of focus on beefing up DogGoneMedia.”

Version 2 of Buzz West Cash launched the first week of May, featuring a sleek new look and more promotional tools.

As an affiliate you can search through the archives of all the Buzz West exclusive models, or just jump in and get the latest releases. The user friendly interface provides easy access to all the new tools, including free hosted galleries, and downloadable content. “We wanted to give our affiliates more tools and an easier way to promote our site,” says Buzz West. “We have certainly done that with version 2,” Buzz continued.

In addition to the new promotional tools, Buzz West Cash now pays affiliates 10% on all webmaster referrals.

From May, 15th to June, 15th adult cartoon sponsor Drawn Cash is paying $35 a signup at Gay Comics, plus the usual 50% -60% on all rebills. The sponsor states the bonus will not be reflected in the stats, but will be paid on May 31.

According to Drawn Cash the site has excellent rebills, but they do not get a lot of webmaster traffic, something they are hoping to change. Unfortunately the sponsor does not use cascading billing. This may account for the lack of interest on the part of affiliate webmasters. In addition, the sponsor’s use of the English language, in their site tour, promotional materials, and content, is a bit disappointing.

Drawn Cash provides webmasters with a variety of promotional materials, including free content and FHGs.
