I am giving affilations to all of my shops
By becoming an affilitate to my shops you may earn an extra income.
Your income will be:-
1)10% of total worth of tickets sold in Tambola by you
2)0.1frih$ for each seller account & 0.01frih$ for each buyer account that is opened in share market by your referral
3) 1frih$ per 10,000 pixels sold by you at http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-47397.html
4) Special bonuses that will be given on reaching specific targets(like selling 10 tambola tickets)
When you refer someone make sure that he puts your name while giving me money.
The threads to which you should refer are:-
Share Market
Tambola sort of Game
Buy pixels
To become an affilitate simply just post here that you want to become an affilitate.
Currently I am offering affilations for free but that will not be forever. So, grab your position soon!
Once you become an affilitate, then you are an affilitate for ever & even for any new shops/contests that I will open.
(Except under exceptional circumstances)
Rules:-
1) You cannot refer yourself!
This whole concept of giving affilations is mine. You are requested to not copy my idea of giving affilations without my permission or without giving me credit
see it takes a lot of effort to develop new idea & its rules. Please dont copy it.
Last edited by hunnyhiteshseth on Fri Aug 11, 2006 5:24 pm; edited 1 time in total So if i want to become an affiliate, I should advertise by some method, to the various frihosters, right?
Please clarify on the methods I can use
Also, about that 2nd point of yours, you can try and increase the 0.01 to something respectable.
I do feel it is very low.
but of course, if you dont, then I am not persuading you
Just a suggestion.
After becoming an affilitate you can use any method to get customers, advertising to frihosters is one of them, you can even personally refer them, PM them & any other method you can think of. Just make sure the people whom you refer tell me that you refered them.
It is 0.01 because it takes only 0.1frih$ to open a buyer account. So, it is still 10% commision(in real life you never get commision above 1%)
Also, if the price of opening an account increases your commision will also increase.

C'mon teenzine, he's not copyrighting anything here
He is only asking you to give him credit and take permission from him for using his idea.
Its the least you can do to repay him for borrowing his ideai did NOT barrow his idea so please Myob /

What?
I did not say you borrowed his idea
I said, that if you borrow his idea in the future, the least you can do is give him creditTeenzine I think either you dont know English or their is some problem in your understanding. In almost all your posts you have misunderstood people & what you say is not understood by anyone.
Please stop spamming.
Added another option of earning in the first post: By refering members to buy pixels at: http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-47397.html That wasn't his idea. Affilation links have been used in websites since the internet was born. That's a fact.
I'm with TeenZine on this one, because, well, he's right. M.Y.O.B.
yah good point...
And i think everyone takes the whole 'Copyright' a bit too far here.
You should be happy if people what to copy your idea, it just means it's a great idea, it's like the best compliment you could get.
for example.. Shake has copied my 'Location' Idea lol :p (i just noticed now 
)
And anyways, I'll become an Affilawatsit.. i dont know how to spell it. I've got nothing to lose by becoming one. 
Also you drag this thread up from a long time go i see. lol | Shake wrote: |

You are getting it wrong. My statement which you quoted is in different context. What I want to say is that idea of giving an affiliation to my threads is mine & please atleast give me credit for it.
@Hammy: Note, I have no where used word: copyright, but only a request.
Yes I know it is good when people copy your idea, but they should at least give credit for it. For eg. I wrote subject of my millionpixel thread as "A copy of milliondollarhomepage", i.e. I straight forward gave credit.
Congrats on becoming an affilitate.
For starting my tip for you: Start promoting Tambola,Share Market & Millionpixel in your sig,site etc. | Quote: |

It sounds pretty selfish in your first post, and I really don't understand what you are saying.
The million dollar homepage site you are running is just from http://www.tufat.com/s_milliondollarhomepage.htm, correct? In that case, it isn't entirely yours. You never wrote it. It might have been your idea to rip off the guy who ripped off the guy who made the million dollar homepage in the first place, but it still was only an idea. I might not try to copy your idea of a million dollar homepage, but what if someone else wanted to in the future, or already has? I don't think you could defend your above statement if someone tried to make a newer, better million dollar homepage on Frihost.
Anyway, in this topic it doesn't sound like you are even defending your website, but rather, the concept of affiliation requests, which has been used many times before on Frihost and millions of other free website communities. 
I don't think you can claim affiliation as your own; it's an age-old concept on the web. Even with that said, I'm not sure what it is you're trying to claim the rights to, or even defend as your own, and I don't want this comment to sound like a flame, so I'll end it here.
But think about it...how would it sound if I said
"This post it my copyright. It belongs to me you can't have it...it's mine. You can't quote me or copy my ideas because it's my post and I own all rights to it even though its hosted on FriHost for free and they are incredibly generous for letting me continue to claim things that aren't my own."
after every message? Doesn't seem right to me.
Edit: Oh, Hammy, yes...that location idea is also age-old, as old as the first forums that used a left column to display user info in posts. I have done it before on countless forums. Even if one of Hammy's posts made me laugh and motivated me to change my location field in my profile, it's also a concept that you couldn't copyright today. I can see you're being understanding about it, and you realize that it's a compliment. In my opinion, this is why copyrights are not neccessary on the FriHost forums. Of course, everyone hates being ripped off and wants their work protected. But when is 'too far'? I think that is the debate over this issue. I think hunnyhiteshseth should clarify the copyright notices in his posts to make them less "obtrusive", since the FriHost staff disallow posting of material which you do not own the copyright(s) to, and I really don't think the term 'affiliation' is one which you can copyright.
I felt personally offended by your copyright notice, because affiliation is something I have used on my websites since I started making them (which was way before I even met you and saw your claim). This is merely a suggestion. That is all I will say on this debate.Ok let me clarify. I am just saying if you have multiple shops in frihost & you start giving affiliation like me after seeing my thread just make a note you copied my idea, thats it. Nothing else.
Shake you are not understanding the point. I myself have said I am copying milliondollarhomepage, anybody can copy it.
But giving affilations in frihost is a new concept(it existed in real world but first time in frih$), so if you are copying this idea in frihost after seeing my thread, just give me credit, thats it.

It's probably new to FriHost because the use of affiiate information or referrals in forum messages violates the FriHost Forum Rules.
Such information or links are permitted within the webpages you have hosted at FriHost, but are not allowed in forum messages. Thus, unless your proposed affiliate system is going to operate entirely within your webpages with absolutely NO affiliate or referral information in the forum, you and your clientele could be starting down the path to warnings and/or bans.
In addition, are you really SO self-important that every idea you copy to FriHost from elsewhere on the web somehow becomes your exclusive property? This was already covered, in depth, when you announced the "Share Market" idea: the only way to gain exclusive rights to an idea is to file (and pay for) a patent with your country's patent office. If you have not done that, or will not do that, you have absolutely no exclusive right to any idea you may put forth in the forum.
Yes, it is true that you are free to trumpet your "achievement" in order to "request" that nobody else copy an idea, what you wind up doing is exercising your freedom to make yourself obnoxious. As you can see from the current thread, as well as your previous efforts, your tendency to emphasize your ego over your "product" tends to alienate many people whom you would, otherwise, wish to have on your side. In other words, your insistence upon saying how wonderful you and your ideas are is driving away the customers you so earnestly desire to attract. | Traveller wrote: |

Hey wait a minute. You mean to say that my affilitate cant promote my threads which are in marketplace or contests section of frihost forum?

No, I am not. I am not claiming it as my exclusive property.

No I am not emphasizing my ego, I am just making a request. If you cant even give credit to me, then dont give me.
Also, note it takes effort to implement a real world thing in terms of frih$ | hunnyhiteshseth wrote: |

If that promotion is handled in a manner that causes the affiliate any kind of financial (whether real$ or FRIH$) or "credit point" gain, that's right: | Quote: |
| Posts, avatars, signatures and usernames must not contain direct or indirect referral links or links that you get credit for when people click on. |
(Source: Forum Rules)
Thus, should you attempt to continue in this endeavour, and the moderating team discovers evidence of affiliate or referral-like practices, not only could you be banned, but it could also bring about the ban of all those who participate as affiliates.

Whether you use the specific words, or not, the phrase | hunnyhiteshseth wrote: |

is a claim to exclusivity. It is the same kind of claim you attempted with the "Share Market" idea, was not a legitimate claim then, and is not legitimate now.

True, but it also takes effort to obey the rules instead of taking the easy way out by disregarding them and also asking others to do so. | hunnyhiteshseth wrote: |

I sign people up as travel agents and they get 60% of the commision, which ranges from 5 to 15, on all travel depending on the type. Thats somewhere bettween 4- 9 % commisionI copyrite the word 'Cabbage'...
Woohoo, this means if anyone wants to talk about cabbage, they need my permission and have to credit me for it! 
You can't copyright it, especially since it's an idea, but what you can do is tell people not to give away links to your site for people to affiliate with it.
