What do affiliates want in a gallery template - GoFuckYourself.com

purecharlie · 06-13-2009, 01:57 PM

Hi guys,
I am just starting work with my programmer on creating a template manager so affiliates can automatically generate their own FHGs for our paysites. The idea is that you will be able to go in, select what sort of template you want (i.e. pics, videos, mixture of both, embedded video, etc . .) and then select which of our site's content you want in the templates.
However, my question is:- "what features would affiliates want to see in this template manager?" I realise some of you who use submitters may have different requirements than those that don't but that's the whole point - we are trying to build something that will cater for ALL our different types of affiliates so please tell me what you would want in an ideal world.
(And before you mention it on your wish list, we already use Morphing RSS feeds :D )

Not one suggestion? So every affiliate has everything they want from all the sites they send traffic to then? Come on guys, everything can't be perfect out there . . what could you do with to help you as an affiliate? What would the perfect Gallery Template include for you?

I am very strict on traffic leaks, if a sponsor includes banners to outside programs on their FHG I try not to promote them.

My logic is that if they have a good product they don't need to promote anyone's else product and they should put all their effort attempting to make a sell for their own site.

I have also found that too many choice of FHG leads to confussion, I dont have the time to go through all of them, if I was you I would offer three or five choices and that is it.
