Is there an affiliate program that covers all of the Fratmen line?
We can’t find any webmaster info on their sites.
Thank you

Hi David.
Pardon me for pointing this out, but I’ve noticed that every sponsor you’ve inquired about is either MIA - Mormon Boyz, pulling ‘questionable’ affiliate tour tactics - Cashkaboom, or has no contact with affiliates whatsoever and doesn’t even have referral links that work properly - Fratcash.
There are much better and more reliable sponsors and programs to look into. Just putting it out there. 
Re: Fratmen, Fratmen TV, Fratmen All Access, Fratmen Fratpad, Frat-U
Fratcash doesn’t answer emails, doesn’t send out affiliate content, and I think their affiliate content area is MIA. If you want to promote them, you’re pretty much on your own.
Re: Fratmen, Fratmen TV, Fratmen All Access, Fratmen Fratpad, Frat-U
You can point out whatever you like kinky_jack :-), that’s why I posted on the board.
I’m surprised Fratcash is such a train wreck (well, for us, not for them I suppose). Too bad.
Kaboom has a niche that is golden. If you can recommend other sites, should they come to mind, of that ilk, I’d appreciate it. This is why I was asking.
We’ve only branched out into promoting other sites during the last three months (thus a lot of inquiries), though we’ve been in the biz for over fifteen years – promoting our own members area, etc. But have had to, like most of us, ‘diversify.’ Ugh.
It’s mind-boggling how shoddy ethics have gotten in adult during the past five years. You’d never have seen anything like this ten years ago (not to sound like a grampa or anything). But I suppose this is fallout from the recession and the general shift of free vs paid content.
But given that climate, you’d think businesses would work twice as hard to remain ethical and safeguard their brand and reputation; obviously this is not the case as the Walmartization of porn continues.
I’m not saying this is the case with all programs – but I’m sure most of you guys would agree with me.

Thanks for listening to my ‘hot air’ David. 
I just didn’t want to see you get steered in the wrong direction.
I agree, the sponsor sites you’ve inquired about are very good. Especially the CK sites. But alas, they don’t seem to want to have an equal partnership and/or any communication with affiliates. Many of us have helped brand these sites and this is what we get in return. It’s very heartbreaking.
The Cashkaboom issues arose fairly recently, from what I can tell. I used to do very well with them. As did many others. We still see the odd sale here and there, but as I would now only promote their gay sites and they’re the ones with the CumDeals banner on them, I will be pulling links down very soon. At this moment I can’t suggest any alternative sites to replace the CK sites with. They are genuinely unique in their own respects. Thus indeed a very saddening time for the gay fetish affiliate side of the business.
As for the Fratcash sites and replacements. English Lads is quite good and from what I know they are still on the up and up. Be aware that they seldom show a lot of cock, ass or fucking action in their affiliate promo content though. Which can be both a plus and a negative, depending on how badly your surfers want to see the good stuff. I believe you have to sign up with the English Lads affiliate program here now by sending your email address to them for further contact. Things have changed. I guess they want to look at your site(s) first before accepting you. They use CCBill.
Another CCBill based site for affiliates is Sean Cody. No doubt you’ve heard of them. They sell and rebill quite well.
I’ve also done well with Fraternity X, which is under the malerevenue.com umbrella. The content isn’t stellar and it’s streaming only, but due to the huge cry from fans for Fratboys and such it can do well with the right traffic.
Lastly, as for a Mormon Boyz replacement? I never did promote them and they were quite short lived as an affiliate program from what I know of. And besides, I really don’t think we will ever see a genuine replacement for them. They’re pretty damn unique. To say the least. Ha!
On the topic of where our industry has gone. Oh yes…it’s extremely heartbreaking. One could say the affiliate market model is dying and in some aspects that is true, to a point. I’ve come to a conclusion that it is just changing dramatically and it won’t be long before we are marketing as affiliates in the adult biz in much different ways than we are now. That’s if most of us stick around to do it. I’ve personally been looking into other avenues because I find this market far too fickle and ever-changing in this era. We can thank Google very fucking much for contributing to that. Or not. LOL.
Best of luck with your search and I hope this helps you at least a little bit.

I almost forgot. If you’ve got traffic that likes feet you can give MyFriendsFeet.com a try. I work for them on a part-time basis. You can hit the link in my signature to sign up. They’re CCBill based and we are currently working on a better affiliate tour. I take care of the promo tools for affiliates as well as other inquires. Hit me up if you need anything. There are a few places you can find promo content:
-
I post the latest updates almost every week here on the board.
-
There is now a promo content archive I put together a few weeks ago here.
-
And I send out a newsletter each week. To receive that make sure you have that option checked off inside your CCBill affiliate admin interface.

Most of us are not surprised at all.
This seems to be a company with a history of screwing their affiliates in one way or another. They seem to come back periodically to beg for support and promotion when their brand has slumped, and then people jump on because the content is so good… three months down the line the company pulls the plug on their affiliates again because they think they’re back to where they were and they don’t need us.
Just wait and see, give it another couple of months and someone new from Frat will be on here promoting their affiliate program, showing us sparkly new content pages, asking for opinions, being all “involved” and “professional”, then three months later they reduce the payout without telling anyone, or they’ll stop updating their tools, they’ll stop coming to the forum, they’ll abandon their affiliates… a few months after that their brand will slump again and they’ll be back desperate for promotion.
Rinse and repeat.
Re: Fratmen, Fratmen TV, Fratmen All Access, Fratmen Fratpad, Frat-U
And I echo what others have said, there are other sites out there to promote who know how to work with their affiliates. I would say look into some of the smaller independent sites if you’re into muscle and jocks. There are a few of them out there and they’re not all being promoted to death by thousands of others. You can get some good sales from those.
Re: Fratmen, Fratmen TV, Fratmen All Access, Fratmen Fratpad, Frat-U
Thank you Jack, we’ll add your feet site for sure!
Conran, wow – I’m getting the picture pretty clear now. We’ll avoid the frat pack.

Re: Fratmen, Fratmen TV, Fratmen All Access, Fratmen Fratpad, Frat-U
I will never promote Fratmen as an affiliate again no matter what they do. If they want my traffic they will be welcome to buy ads on my blogs.

FYI, I wrote to them twice a few years ago and didn’t hear back either time. Last I heard, they weren’t accepting new affiliates. But that doesn’t mean others shouldn’t give it a try. I do well with Picture This Studios, which is also UK-based and doesn’t show dicks in their photos.
Re: Fratmen, Fratmen TV, Fratmen All Access, Fratmen Fratpad, Frat-U
I’ve heard this from a few clients who I recommended try promoting English Lads too. It’s a shame, their content is very good and although they really don’t show a lot in their images it still seems to convert well, considering. It’s very hard to be convincing about a lad being hung and so on when you haven’t see anything, and the surfers are often less likely to believe that without seeing the goods.
I would recommend them though, if they’re accepting new affiliates.
Re: Fratmen, Fratmen TV, Fratmen All Access, Fratmen Fratpad, Frat-U
Did you have any luck in getting hold of Fratmen?
I’m trying to find their affiliate program signup page but it now goes to a NATS install page. So no way of joining the program any more unless you do NATS which I doubt works.
Re: Fratmen, Fratmen TV, Fratmen All Access, Fratmen Fratpad, Frat-U
One can still download the preview videos from their tours and then make screencaps to use on blogs.
I still use the CCBill links, as they are the only ones that work.

I just can’t figure out how to do links for their new site though, they seem to end differently in ID’s.
Re: Fratmen, Fratmen TV, Fratmen All Access, Fratmen Fratpad, Frat-U
I am not really sure what is happening, but for me all Fratmen links work the same… I mean, if you had a ccbill account with them for years it works fine… what am I missing?
Re: Fratmen, Fratmen TV, Fratmen All Access, Fratmen Fratpad, Frat-U
Well there is a new site, and I don’t know what the right link would be to use it. There is also the multi-access tour.
It’s all such a pain, when they don’t even respond to the most simple questions. But the sites do sell and rebills… and good sites that update are rare now days!
Re: Fratmen, Fratmen TV, Fratmen All Access, Fratmen Fratpad, Frat-U
Hmmm… I use the original ccbill link that I got with them… It works, it carries my refferal id… what new site are you talking about? You mean the redesigned fratmen.tv now fratmen.com?
Where do your ccbill link land ?
Re: Fratmen, Fratmen TV, Fratmen All Access, Fratmen Fratpad, Frat-U
Well there is this:
