The FameDollars adult affiliate program initially looks like it could be one of the best, presenting niche sites and content from high quality studios. Critically examining the sites, galleries and tools, however, reveals too many obstacles for this program to be highly recommended for the average adult webmaster – namely those who primarily own and maintain adult blogs. The program appears to be mainly comprised of sites devoted to particular studios, with some niche sites thrown in for good measure. Consequently, most of the content is non-exclusive, though a small bit does appear to be exclusively made for some of the program sites.

Summary
While the majority of sites in the FameDollars adult affiliate program do update, I was struck by the distinct lack of any appreciable unique text. Although enough can be obtained from the titles and descriptions in the galleries or RSS feeds for the industrious affiliate to base their own copy, what is more remarkable is that there is very little scene description text on the sites. Most of the sites appear similar to tube sites, where surfers can browse all the updates and watch streaming videos to get a taste of what is available in the members area. However, it should be noted that the sites in the FameDollars adult affiliate program all use canonical linking. For those who don’t already know, canonical links are primarily used to prevent duplicate content by telling the search engines the preferred URL to index, in this case URLs without the affiliates ID. Many programs now use canonical linking, so that alone might be grudgingly excused. However, when we turn our attention to the galleries we see that they also contain canonical linking instructing search engines to again give preference to pages without the affiliates ID – and that’s just too much.
Given the paucity of unique text and the use of canonical linking, it seems to me as if the FameDollars adult affiliate program is not ideally suited for the average affiliate – ie, bloggers. That said, affiliates who own and maintain high traffic linklists, tube sites, TGPs and/or MGPs will undoubtedly get far greater benefit from this program.
