During the recent beta testing period, LionDollars cemented all Version 4 systems and processes, ported over webmasters from the previous iteration and started delivering a brand new promotional tools delivery system. "V4 of the LionDollars program is a complete rebuild of the entire LionDollars backend, tracking and delivery systems," Lindsay (CuriousToyBoy) from LionDollars said. "It is the result of literally thousands of hours of application by the LionDollars team — and their efforts speak for themselves in the function and features of the V4 engine."

Under V4, LionDollars is a "By Application Only" affiliate program. Every webmaster application will be evaluated, and a specific decision will be made on whether to accept that affiliate into the program. This process will help eliminate fraud and ensure that resource application and tool development can be focused on mutually successful relationships between LionDollars and accepted affiliates.

Existing affiliates who did not apply to have their accounts ported over to V4 have to re-apply through the new procedure.

"LionDollars V4 completely removes all previous restrictions on the application process for the program, the real change comes with the assessment process to ensure ongoing program integrity," Lindsay said. "LionDollars has developed very specific models of the profile of webmasters who will be able to work successfully with us, whether they have one join per week or 100 or more per day. It is all about the types of affiliates we want to work with and not just about volume."

Webmasters from anywhere are strongly encouraged to apply, as the approval process is not based on traffic and joins, but on affiliate profile models LionDollars has developed after many years in the adult Internet space.

"LionDollars will not seek to try and become a program that tries to be 'everything for everyone,'" LionDollars Program Manager John Cus said. "The key principle in play here is that no affiliate should work with a program — and conversely, no program should work with an affiliate — where both sides do not come out a winner and make money. LionDollars wants to be able to service a smaller group of affiliates in mutually beneficial relationships, than try and service a larger group for less mutual benefit. That and ongoing account management and evaluation really is common business logic."

All existing webmaster accounts and associated linking codes from the old system will be valid for six weeks from the date of full V4 launch to ensure that existing webmasters do not lose out on their current links. LionDollars will run two complete operational systems and associated infrastructure side-by-side for that period.

Adult dating, an escort directory and exclusive solo girl sites make up LionDollars V4, and plans call for it to be expanded with a new range of premium adult sites in the coming weeks and months.

Although some programs undergoing such a comprehensive shift in direction have removed old sites to replace them with new ones, LionDollars has decided to retain all existing adult niche sites under an "Old Skool Adult Sites" plan that will remain available to all webmasters but can only be promoted on a revshare basis.
