I'd just like to take a moment and introduce to you three new affiliates with Imagine.
First we have
Anime Role Play Forum. You can find our button on their Affiliates page at the top right corner under the banner. Feel free to register there if you want! If you do, I'd like to please ask that you keep a link back to Imagine in your signature.
Second, we have
Anime Nation! This is a special and interesting affiliation. In return for us hosting their banner on our website, any purchase our members make through their website (by clicking the link on the Portal) will give Imagine an 8% commission! Money received through this affiliation will 100% go back to you guys in the form of prizes and giveaways. So if you're in the market to buy anime related things, snoop around Anime Nation! By buying there, you give us more opportunities to give things away to you!
I think it's a really awesome thing and I hope you guys use it.
Third, we have City-Scape.
http://city-scapes.net/index.php Their website looks pretty cool and we're glad to have them as an affiliate here! Blue (Jon) and I both registered here to play for a while, his city did better than mine last time I looked at it! No fair~
The reason why affiliates are so important is because they link back to us in return for us linking to them. When Google or Yahoo crawls the Internet, they click links on webpages. The more often they find your webpage linked somewhere else, the more important they deem your website to be and the higher you'll show up on Google searches.
So the more places the link to Imagine shows up, the higher chance we have of getting new people! That's why it's extremely important for all of our members to place links to Imagine in their signatures on other forums you might post at. We also allow you to link to another website to help support them in your signature, so long as you're linking back to us. Link sharing is invaluable to a websites success!
If you own a blog, personal website, or a myspace page, I highly encourage you to place just a small text link somewhere to Imagine. If you want us to link back to your page, we will!
We're still looking for more affiliates so if you have a favorite website you think might be interested, please let me know.
