I
have been getting a lot of requests for affiliates/sister sites
lately... Much more than I ever expected!! While I'm very flattered that
so many people would like to affiliate with FMOCT, I find that I'm going
to have to set down a few ground-rules for affiliation - and to help on
the odds of your site getting affiliated, I've decided to start accepting
Chibi-Siblings. (Thanks to my current affiliate, Neo
Nobility for the idea!)
Chibi-Siblings
are sites that, at the time of their application, did not quite meet the
standards for full affiliateship, but which show promise (or just have
very nice webmasters/mistresses) and which I would still like to affiliate
with in some way. Chibi-Siblings (CS's) will be displayed together on
a page that can be accessed by clicking the link below the affiliates
on all the main pages of FMOCT. Most of the rules are still the same,
but are usually more lenient for CS's. Almost any site can qualify
to be a Chibi-Sibling - however, there must be none of the following:
hentai/adult content (original manga scans are OK - adult doujinshi/fan-manga
scans are not); direct-linked files, images, or pages; plagiarized content;
excessive broken images/links. Please read the rules below for an idea
of what your site must contain to qualify for either full affiliateship
or Chibi-Sibling-ship.
- Affiliates/Chibi-Siblings
must be Sailormoon related.
"But
why do you have non-SM sites affiliated now?" you may ask. To which
I would reply, "Because those are the sites hosted on kazeninaru.net,
my host domain." Since I am a Sailormoon site, I would prefer to affiliate
only with other Sailormoon-related sites (meaning those with primarily
Sailormoon-related content, be it subbed, dubbed, manga, or live-action),
other Kaze hostees excluded. As long as the majority (at the very least,
say, 50%) of your site is dedicated to Sailormoon I will consider you
for some form of affiliation.
- Affiliates/Chibi-Siblings
will be linked with 88x31 pixel button banners only. Due
to the script I use for my affiliates, and to keep things clean and
simple on my site, only
88x31 pixel button banners will be acceptable forms of linkage for affiliates.
(If you want to affiliate FMOCT with a larger banner on your
site, I don't care - this is just for my page.) If you do not have any
88x31 buttons for linking, you must acquire one before requesting
review for affiliation. If you can't make your own, please visit
Anime Revolution
for this free service. (Please note that Chibi-Siblings will be displayed
differently - click here for more info on CS's - but must still have
at least one 88x31 banner for me to link you with.)
- Affiliate/Chibi-Siblings
should have nice layouts, original content, be entertaining, and be
easy to navigate. Since
I strive to follow this example, I (and my visitors) should expect my
affiliates to do the same. I want people to be able to find other quality
sites through my affiliates. This means none of the following:
direct-linked files, graphics used without credits to who made them,
information / content plagiarized from other sites, a ton of broken
links, or excessive use of midis and graphics-shop layouts, buttons,
etc., among other things - even on Chibi-Sibling sites (though
graphic shop layouts/elements are still allowed, as are WYSIWYG
- such as Angelfire and Tripod editor-created - sites). I'm encouraging
sites that give the visitor fun things to do with the minimum of hassle.
If you're not sure if you site measures up, I'd suggest going through
my FMOCT Web Tips
& Tricks and comparing your site to some of the suggestions
and guidelines in it. Don't forget, if your site does not fully qualify
to be a full affiliate, you still have the chance to be a Chibi-Sibling.
- Affiliates/Chibi-Sibling
sites may not include hentai or adult content in galleries
or site elements, nor link to sites without age-appropriate disclaimers
before adult-themed content is viewed. This
does not pertain to "official" Takeuchi-drawn manga images
(or "official" SM Artbook images), but mainly to doujinshi,
or fan-manga, and fan art submissions. Also, you may not link to
any hentai sites, or sites including hentai/doujinshi
galleries that
do not include disclaimers that users must click-to-agree to before
viewing hentai artwork, even in thumbnailed format. (See Anime
Revolution's Ai no Himistu sections for an example of
an acceptable disclaimer.)
- Affiliates/Chibi-Siblings
must link back to FMOCT in a timely manner of being accepted
as an affiliate (preferably 2-3 days), or your link will be removed
from my page until you comply. This
might seem obvious, but I've had it happen to me before that I've agreed
to affiliate with someone and my link was not added to their affiliates
/ sisters list. I took their banner off my affiliates list until I either
hear from them or see my button on their affiliates list. It might sound
mean, but I'm not going to provide traffic to their site if they're
not going to reciprocate. My affiliates get quite a few hits from me
(going by my counter stats, kazeninaru.net
gets many of its hits from the affiliate buttons on the hostees' sites),
and if you're an affiliate getting publicity from me, I expect to have
the opportunity to get publicity from you.
That's
it for the moment... If I think of anything else, I'll be sure to post
it... Request review for affiliation with the form below ONLY - do
not e-mail, IM, or ICQ me asking to be
affiliated! I will not accept affiliates
who request in this manner - that's what the form is for. Use it please.
Again, just for the record, if sites do not meet the standards above,
you may not be considered for a full affiliate, but you will have a chance
to be affiliated as a Chibi-Sibling.
