As for giving back to the affiliates who have "branded" our name, we do. It's called a 30% payout and it's just about the best you're going to find in the toy industry. Do you think it's fair for an affiliate to bid against us on our own name, drive up our costs on PPC, then get the 30% payout on top of that? If any affiliate would like to beef up their SE ranking and do well in the organic results, we have absolutely no problem with that. We just don't feel it's right that someone can open up an adwords account, simply put the name "Fleshlight" in their bid terms, and start making money of a name that we have been branding for 10 years. In reference to the smart ass comments being made by some, it's not unexpected I guess it hurts a little that I have NEVER made a negative comment toward any company and in fact, generally try to find something nice to say when companies post a new product or service but yet others can't seem to use that same mentality and want to jump on a bashing bandwagon rather than hit me up personally and discuss whatever problem(s) they are having. If anyone has any questions or needs anything at all, please hit me up.... 345334957 or [email protected]
