With multiple processors, a newsletter sign up, an AEBN VOD theater, Twitter link, and links to 41 other web sites with sponsor programs, Man Avenue is doing pretty much everything they can to siphon off webmaster traffic and keep all the profits.

The funny thing is, I got an Email about this from an IGP reader who is afraid to say anything to them about the leaks for fear they will terminate his CCBill affiliate account.  My immediate thought is why should he care?  There is a wealth of programs out there with leak free tours, so getting the boot from a site like this is no great loss.

The only reason why sites have leaky tours is because you the webmasters accept it.  They need you more than you need them, but as long as you allow them to profit from your hard earned traffic, without compensation, they’ll keep right on doing it!

Straight Fraternity has just announced a completely leak free tour for their affiliate webmasters to use.  The sponsor also claims their hosted gallery links are leak free.  I took a quick look at the new tour and did not find any leaks.

A reader reports the pop up at Straight Fraternity is now gone.  He also says the sponsor is claiming a leak free site tour, if webmasters use a new link that bypasses the adult warning page.

I took a look and sure enough the pop up is gone, even if you use the original link that hits the warning page.  However, the claim of a leak free site tour, regardless of what link you use, is false.  The tour still links to the sponsor’s DVD store and has a links page with banners promoting other sites.

Lucas Kazan has just informed me their affiliate tour pages no longer feature the newsletter e-mail collection, nor the Facebook/Twitter links. He also assured me they won’t find their way back into the tour.  In addition, they are testing to make sure the debit card join option is cascading to CCBill.  Once they are confident all is working as it should they’ll add some clarification language to the webmaster page and send out a notification to existing affiliates.

I just noticed Straight Fraternity has added a pop up page with 13 banners on it promoting other programs’ sites.  In addition they have a link in the top menu bar of their site tour which takes visitors to a links page that includes the same 13 banners.  The menu bar also links to a DVD store.

Apparently these guys have forgotten they need to pay for affiliate webmaster traffic, not siphon it off for their own exclusive gain!

There is a new method for unscrupulous programs to siphon off affiliate traffic.  They are redirecting all cell phone and other mobile traffic to a site that cuts the webmaster out of receiving a commission.  One program owner, who has proven to be a reliable source over the years, told me that Top Bucks approached him offering a high commission if he would redirect his mobile traffic to one of their sites.  You can be sure I’ll post about any program I discover doing this.

It is not clear exactly when this change took place, but at some point Dirty Tony changed the affiliate referral link for his web site tour.  The original link is still published at CCBill and the new one is only published in his affiliate newsletter.  While it could have been included in one of his past newsletters, I do not recall any notification of this change.

The original link provided by CCBill and the link displayed on his webmaster site, Dirty Ducats (banners page), go to a version of the site tour that includes a pop up link to his blog.  In addition, the join page has a newsletter sign up form.

When I questioned Tony about the link published by CCBill he told me that if a webmaster chooses to use a link other than the one posted in his newsletter, or on his affiliate site he/she is violating the Dirty Ducats affiliate agreement.  When asked if I could see this agreement my request was dismissed, or perhaps inadvertently overlooked…wink wink.  It is pure speculation on my part, but when Tony made that statement I’m guessing he didn’t realize the link published on his affiliate site also resolves to the leaky site tour.  In any case, Tony made it very clear that anyone using the link furnished by CCBill is in violation of the Dirty Ducats mystery affiliate agreement.  I’ll just go out on a limb here and suggest Tony probably didn’t think this one through before hitting the send button.

My guess is the leak free link, published ONLY in his newsletter, is the result of complaints from affiliates that send a lot of sales.  The fact that the link published by CCBill and the one on his affiliate site still resolve to a leaky tour suggests, to me, Tony is in no rush to inform his affiliate base of the alternative leak free URL, or that there is a difference between the 3 links.  This is further evidenced by the fact his affiliate web site makes no mention of these deferring links.

Any webmaster that’s been in the business as long as I have has witnessed numerous programs play the link shuffle game.  Is this what Tony is doing?  You be the judge.

Str8Cam has been in continuous operation for 10 years.  It features hairy and muscular straight boy Jeff with twice weekly live Jack Off cam shows, all archived for later viewing.  Recently he started featuring other muscular guys on their own cams, just to make things more interesting.

The big news is Jeff has switched from Verotel to CCBill.  With that change he’s introduced an all new leak free site tour.  Jeff told me he will keep the Verotel account active, so webmasters don’t have to worry about loosing sales on any links they missed changing out.  He does encourage existing affiliates to make the change as Verotel links will still go to the old and leaky tour.

This is a popular site that has traditionally converted well for me.  So if you want to add something unique to your mix, Str8Cam is worth considering.
