I have written previously about the relationship between the Web and Human Sexuality. I have also explained how the mounting complexity of our societies has had a cumulatively suppressive effect on Human Sex. In spite of the seemingly greater “publicness” of sex, people find themselves somehow less able to manifest their true, individual, unique sexuality. Why is that? Simply because one of the basic requirements of mass socialization is the adoption of easy identifiers, of labels. There is less time to deliberate over subtlety than earlier in our history. What breeds a feeling of contentment in human beings is the same today as it ever was: to feel one’s self a part of a group, and for that, to feel less anxiety for the unknown.

Because modern societies are so large, bringing together people from widely varied backgrounds, value sets, beliefs and customs, they have given rise to universally subscribable cooperative systems for defining what things are. Labels, in other words. To participate in a society is to understand its labeling systems. And because large, modern societies have to accommodate such a broad spectrum of people, the labeling and identification systems such societies create necessarily demand that nearly everyone has to compromise some aspect of themselves in order to be accepted, and that some smaller number of people have to compromise significant aspects of themselves in order to be accepted.

In a bid to impress webmasters, Australia-based Sexyads.com has launched SexyadsNews.com, a site that will perform double-duty, as both a news and information site for online daters and RSS feed engine for affiliates. “Sexyadsnews.com is for affiliates and for surfers…” said SEXYADS.com CEO Maureen Shaw “Sexyadsnews.com is an annex to our flagship site — SEXYADS.com.

Sexyads is big on trust and honesty.

In part 3 of the Syndicated Affiliate I wrote: “Affiliates… you have the power to demand pretty much whatever you want from a sponsor program. Bloggers who get lots of other bloggers to agree on the same thing will move mountains. The desire to blog is bringing people to the Web from all walks of life. They are coming to express themselves, to participate, to have effect. And, most especially, they are coming to get paid. But because greed and dishonesty are uncool in the New Way of Things, affiliates are sending their traffic to sponsors they trust and like. Sponsors, you’d better pray they trust and like you…more

Part 2: RSS, Advice for Sponsor Programs

If you want affiliates to send you traffic:

RSS comes into play as the mechanism through which Syndicators will deliver content to Afiliates, and through which Affiliates will communicate with each other and Syndicate Forward.

While it is already commonly understood and expected that sponsor programs will give you tools and content to help you promote them, the tipping point in that relationship is definitely shifting in favor of the traffic sender.

Here again, RSS comes into the picture, as Sponsors/Syndicators pump billions into affliate acquisition marketing. Production costs rise with audience market share. And audiences are notoriously fickle. This is exactly like broadcast television, during its sponsored hey-day, with a few very important differences… more
