How do we link to Adult Force sites directly.
Right now I only see the option to link to TGP’s
TGP’s are not my fave as far as aesthetics go.
Plus these TGP’s only go from a thumbnail right to buy me/signup,
there’s no sample of what you can expect to get inside except for the thumbs.
Anyone got any tips?
I think that is the only option with them right now but have been doing well for us.
Thanks Mark.
You’re welcome.
I can’t get links for a majority of the Adult Force sites, seems broken to me.
It is a bit problematic and confusing for sure.
I dont get it though, it’s the largest porn company in the world and yet they can’t get the most basic thing right. All that people working there and all that money.
It looks like they are just promoting their TGP tours, my guess is because they are converting better on affiliate traffic than their regular tours. I would say better to give affiliates the option though, they are not great for certain types of traffic. We recently released TGP style tours for a few of our sites and while they do great for tube traffic, I don’t think they would convert as well for a site like GayDemon.com.
I sent a few emails with questions about it, but so far no reply back.
I had to send to 4 different reps to get a response, ridiculous.
Has anyone had any luck obtaining links for their new site “Matthew Camp”? They sent out an email blast on Thursday but I can’t locate my linking code within the affiliate portal and had no luck reaching Samia…
Thanks,
Kevin.
I haven’t been able to figure it out. Their support has disappeared lol.
I’ve complained and tried to explain but they don’t get it.
I can’t see any link to Matthew Camp either.
Can i also ad that i find their site navigationally awefull, I had to go all round the house’s to find Noir male. Much prefer affiliates that use the NATS system.
It’s second only to TimRev’s affiliate portal in difficulty to navigate, lol.
I’ve emailed Samia and support re Matthew Camp as well - but no response. It’s definitely not available yet. Today is a holiday in Quebec, so I don’t expect this resolved today.
FYI - I got our links today.
I got mine as well… However, I used it a few different times over the last couples hours as a test and I’m not seeing the clicks counted within the affiliate portal so I’m not going live with it till it seems to actually track the incoming clicks…
How did you get the links?
Samia (Affiliate Rep) responded to my email from last week with the link codes saying “Sorry about that. We are still working on AF updates.”
It’s been 12 hours and I’m still not seeing any clicks (I’ve done) on the links she provided showing up within the Stats section of Adult Force. I emailed her again asking if she provided me with the correct links.
Who knows maybe when she says “We are still working on AF updates” that means both links codes and stats aren’t working correctly for “Matthew Camp” within the AF affiliate portal… In either case I’m not posting links till I can confirm they are being tracked correctly.

I don’t promote them much these days, they’re mostly filler for when I run out of other content to post.
But I am required to promote a couple of their sites for clients and it’s quite hard to get just a good photo set. I had to beg for a few weeks to get Sean Cody media and it was only after I mentioned that I’d need to advise clients to consider looking for something to replace them that they finally got back to me saying they’d added me to a newsletter I didn’t know existed.
Now, several months later, their updates are sporadic at best and SC content only occasionally arrives in my inbox.
It’s really surprising to me that such a globally renowned brand is so bad at this.
I really wonder if they’re going down the Frat Men route of thinking they’re “too big” to care about affiliates as much as they used to.
We all know what happened when Frat Men suddenly started vanishing from the thousands of gay blogs around the world.
It turns out they’re only that big because of the thousands of bloggers giving them almost entirely free advertising and when that suddenly stops their brand slowly disappears from the internet.
