The Affiliate Zone is designed to give webmasters an easier way of obtaining stats, marketing tools, and information on maximizing profits with Spread4U and Stroke4U feeds, Fruitman told XBiz.com. The Affiliate Zone will also include a collection of promotional banners.
Among the Affiliate Zone's new tools, Fruitman has added the Thumb Nail Spinner, a program that offers a new thumbnail image of a model each time it is loaded, along with a direct link to her chat room.
According to Fruitman, the Affiliate Zone provides affiliates with new options to sell both straight and gay feeds to their members.
Black Dog recently launched the gay counterpart to Spread4U, which according to Fruitman, offers webmasters "hot live gay feeds" with all the same payout offers and tools as its other site.
"We were doing really well on the straight side and just figured why not cover the whole market," said Fruitman, who runs Black Dog with his wife.
"We are hoping to make The Affiliate Zone a one-stop shop for our affiliates, giving them anything and everything they will need to utilize our feeds," said Fruitman, adding that the site looks a lot more professional than it used to.
"We want to keep webmasters updated on new info and announcements," said Fruitman. "I'm hoping there will be a little something out there for every webmaster who comes to our site."
Alongside the launch of its Affiliate Zone, Black Dog launched a new cash program where affiliates can earn $25 per sale.
Prior to Black Dog's $25 sign-up rate they had been offering affiliates revenue share of $1 per minute on upsells.
"The demand is out there, so we are now offering the per signup platform," said Fruitman. "We hope that this appeals to all our affiliates."
