YNOT EUROPE – Barcelona-based content distributor Manica Media has launched its first affiliate program. ManicaMoney houses an expanding network of membership sites that host a variety of niches, brands and performers.

A spokesperson said Manica Media’s operations are dedicated to the development of high-yielding adult pay sites from the ground up. The company not only creates its own properties, but also manages properties for other entities.

“Manica Media provides affiliate programs run by experts who understand the webmaster’s day-to-day business requirements, supplying them with cutting-edge marketing tools, professionally built galleries and hosted content, all aimed at saving valuable time and maximizing profits for webmasters,” Manica Media Chief Executive Officer Tim Clausen said. “We are delighted to have launched ManicaMoney.com and are looking forward to launching the many other excellent branded websites in our pipeline.

“Our principal objective now is to continue making ManicaMoney.com and its integral sales and marketing services the number one affiliate program of choice for top-notch content providers and webmasters worldwide,” he added.

ManicaMoney is powered by NATS and supplies affiliates with promotional tools including edited tube clips, banners, movie and photo gallery builders, and RSS and XML feeds. The program pays new affiliates a $50 bonus upon sign-up; thereafter, lifetime commissions accrue at rates up to 60 percent, or affiliates may choose the 25 euros-per-sale option. Either way, new affiliate referrals earn 99 euros. Payments are made by Paxum, wire transfer or check.

“We use the tried and tested methods that we know work,” said Erwin De Boer, vice president of online media. “Our sites are optimized for webmaster use, and we strive to provide them with every essential tool.

“When we create networks and sites we take the view of the content provider and that of the end user,” he added. “But just as importantly, we pay the utmost attention to the webmaster’s view as they will be working with ManicaMoney on a daily basis.”
