Payments, Bonuses and Programs

How much can I earn? What are the program options?

TIERED LIFETIME REVENUE SHARE:
Earn 35-45% from the lifetime spending of an account if the user is NEW to our site network. The account will be tied to your affiliate ID on a database level and you will earn commission after their credit purchases from the site you referred them to.
On BimBim every user counts as new member when they make their first purchase on the site even if they were already member on other site in our network.

REVENUE SHARE (REVS):
If you refer a user that is not new to our network BUT has not been tied to any AWE affiliates previously via LIFETIME+ or PPS, you will receive 35-45% commission based on the credit purchases generated through your link. Member credit purchases are tracked by your affiliate code stored in a browser cookie on the users’ PC (Cookie validity: 14 days non rewritable, renewable after 14 days).

TIERED PAY PER SALE:
Earn up to $300 for every new premium customer referred who purchases at least a 17.99 credit package. Cookie validity: 30 days non rewritable, renewable after 30 days. Please note: PPS program is not applicable if you are promoting a Whitelabel.

WHITELABEL 4 LIVE CAM SITE:
Create your own custom Live Cam site and earn up to 45% of the purchases made on it. These transactions are tracked by the domain, so you do not need to compete with the cookies set by your fellow Webmasters. You get a commission for all purchases made on the Whitelabel – except for those made by users who were previously bound to any Webmasters via the PPS program. If you opt for the one-click payment with your Whitelabel, the commission percentage you get will be lowered by 10%.

WEBMASTER REFERRALS (2 TIER):
Refer webmasters to A.W. Empire and you will earn up to 36% based on their sales. Have these people refer another new affiliate, and make up to 18%.

CAM MODEL REFERRALS:
Refer cam models or a new studio and earn up to 10% after the models for a year! We currently only offer a model referral program for LiveJasmin.

How long do the webmasters get the 35-45% on Whitelabel, REVS and Lifetime+?

These percentages are here to stay, we will keep these amounts on Whitelabel purchases, REVS purchases and Lifetime+ member spending. If you opt for the one-click payment with your Whitelabel, the commission percentage you get will be lowered by 10%.

Who is considered a premium Member?

Premium Members are those Members who have successfully purchased any credit package.

Your site says that you pay webmasters up to 45% and/or up to $300PPS etc. If there’s an “up to”, there’s an “as low as”. Can you clarify this?

All webmasters start with the lowest tier in every program. The tiers are reset to the first at the beginning of each period (1st and 16th of each month).

For example in the case of PPS, let’s say you make 12 sales in a period. You get $150 for each of the first two sales, $200 for the 3rd, 4th, …10th, and $225 for the 11th and 12th. Therefore the tiers do not affect each other, e.g. if you make three sales, you’ll still get $150 for the first two.

Who is eligible for the sign up bonus?

Webmasters are eligible for the sign up bonus if they registered their first account on A.W. Empire after 8th July, 2014, and they meet the requirements – see here. This applies to personal and company accounts as well.

What are the requirements of receiving the sign up bonus?

The $150 bonus is split into two parts. The first $75 is added after you confirm your e-mail address. You get the second $75 if you make three sales within 40 days of the registration. If you are eligible for the bonus but you didn’t make three sales within 40 days of the registration, you will receive the first part only ($75).

When is the sign up bonus paid?

When our Webmasters finish their registration we check the database to see if they ever registered before. If they prove to be newcomer Webmasters to AWE, the bonus will be added to their balance and they will get paid after reaching the Payout Threshold (the bonus is not counted in the Payout Threshold, so it appears in the Stats only when the threshold is reached).

I have not received my payment, can you explain why?

First, please ensure your information under the “My Account” menu is correct and up to date.

If your information is incorrect, please correct it and notify us so we can trace the payment and correct the situation for you.

If your information is correct, please notify us so we can trace the payment.

We process thousands of payments every month so we ensure this process is as smooth as possible. If you have any issues, we will do our best to correct them ASAP.

Do you have the PPS (Pay Per Sale) payment model?

Yes we do, with the following conditions. The Webmaster will receive a PPS commission if a completely new user, who never purchased credits on any of our sites or Whitelabels before, buys at least 17.99 credits through his/her affiliate link which is equipped with the PPS program code. The Webmaster with the active cookie in the user’s browser at the time of the purchase, will get the commission.

After a user brings a PPS commission to a Webmaster, AWE “owns” that user, and no further commissions will be paid after his/her purchases made on any of our sites or Whitelabels.

Credit purchases made by phone or other payment methods that operate without packages are eligible for the Tiered PPS payout only if the purchased amount reaches or exceeds the price of our 17.99 credit package.

Please note: PPS program is not applicable if you are promoting your Whitelabel

I have signed up to your program and I have already made some sales, when do you send my payment?

Payouts are sent periodically, twice a month.

If you reach your Payout Threshold in the 1st period of a month (1st – 15th), you will receive your payment by the 10th of the next month.

If you reach the Payout Threshold in the second period of a month (16th – 31st), you will receive your payout by the 25th of the next month.

If you do not reach the Payout Threshold in a period, your earnings are carried over to the next period until you reach your Payout Threshold. The payout dates are always on the 10th and 25th of the following month, regardless of the payment method you choose. We send payments several days before the official payout dates to make sure everyone receives their funds in time.

What are the payout periods and payout threshold?

PAYOUT PERIODS
Each month consists of two payment periods; the first period of a month lasts from the 1st until the 15th, while the second period of a month lasts from the 16th until the last day of the month.

PAYOUT THRESHOLD
The Payout Threshold is the amount of earnings you need to collect before you can receive payment. You are advised to choose the lowest payout threshold (My Account menu – Payout tab) to ensure that you will be paid frequently.

How often do I receive a payment?

Payouts on Awempire.com are sent periodically, twice a month. You need to reach the Payout Threshold in a period, in order to get paid on the payout date of that period. The Payout Threshold can vary between $100 and $10,000, depending on the Payment Method you choose. If you reach the Payout Threshold in the first period of a month (1st – 15th), you will receive your payment on the 10th day of the next month. If you reach the Payout Threshold in the second period of a month (16th – 31st), you will receive your payout on the 25th day of the next month. If you do not reach the Payout Threshold in a period, your earnings are rolled over to the next period until you reach the Payout Threshold.

How does crypto work? Is it safe?

We can send crypto payments safely and securely.

When the payment is due, you will receive a crypto cashout URL from our PSP provider TripleA to the email address you give us at the Payment Method Page. The URL can be accessed by the password that you receive via SMS on the phone number you provide on our site.

You will be able to see the chosen crypto currency exchange rate at the cashout page before you transfer the funds to your crypto wallet. The exchange rate is updated every 60 seconds according to market rate.

Once the payout is withdrawn, the Website Operator shall not be liable for any loss or damage as regards crypto payouts, as you can read in our Terms of Service: https://www.awempire.com/terms-of-service.

What are the available currencies for crypto payouts?

From our side, your payment is sent in USD / EUR depending on the chosen payout currency on our website. Upon withdrawal you will be able to choose from among the following available currencies:

  • BTC – Bitcoin
  • ETH – Ethereum
  • USDT – Tether

Do I need a TripleA account to receive crypto payouts?

No, you do not need to register with TripleA, they just process the payment. You can transfer crypto to any 3rd party crypto wallet in your possession. You can read more information about the processor at their website https://triple-a.io.

How much is the transfer fee for crypto payouts?

Regardless of crypto currency, the transfer will have a cost of 3.8% of transferred amount, with additional network fees applied.

What is Bank Transfer?

Bank transfer is one of our payout solutions and the one that we specifically recommend to our high earning partners. We have 3 types of bank transfers available:

  • ACH direct deposit – We offer this option in the US only. It costs 1% (min. $5, max. $300) of the payout amount and the payment will reach your bank account in a few business days. Available in USD currency only.
  • SEPA transfer – If your bank is located in the SEPA area you can receive payment directly from our bank account to your bank account in EUR currency with minimal cost. The transition time of the SEPA transfer is the swiftest of all methods: the payment will go through to your bank in a maximum of one business day, and the cost of a SEPA transfer is 1% (min. €5, max. €300) of the payout amount.
  • EUR international transfer – If your bank is located outside of SEPA area, the payments will also cost 1% (min. €30, max. €300) of the transaction amount, but the transfer may further be charged with additional fees depending on the banks involved in the transfer.

USD bank transfer to a non-US bank is not available in our system.

The minimum Payout Threshold of the SEPA transfer and ACH direct deposit is $100 while in case of EUR international wire transfer it is $500.

What payment reference do you use when sending payments?

When sending out payouts we use the following payment reference “Electronically Delivered Services”. There is no option to change this text.

Why did I receive a different amount than what is indicated on my invoice?

A transaction fee is deducted upon sending your payout. The amount of the fee depends on the payout method you selected. Payment-related transactions such as processing fees are VAT exempt, so they are not indicated on the (Self-)invoices that we have with you.

In what currency do you pay?

Please note that AWEmpire.com sends payouts in USD or EUR.

  • If your billing address is in the United States we can only offer USD payouts
  • If your billing address is in the SEPA we can only offer EUR payouts
  • Bank transfer outside the US is only available in EUR currency

Your income will always be calculated in USD during a period and only the final amount will be exchanged from USD to EUR at the end of the period. The FX rate we apply depends on global market and the value is updated every day. The USD is exchanged to EUR based on the date when the earning was recorded (i.e. every day different FX rate is applied).

You can decide the currency of payout for the ongoing and future periods only. You cannot change currency for an already closed period listed at Payout Overview page.

In case of e-wallet options or EUR bank transfer please make sure that the currency of your wallet/account matches the currency of your payout. This way you can avoid failed payments or additional costs and unfavorable exchange rates.

How can I change my payout details?

You can change your Payment Method or Payout Threshold any time in the My Account menu section, next to the “Logout” link. Please keep in mind that changes take up to 3 business days to be carried out in case your change request is initiated on the last 3 days of a period or on the first 3 days of a new period, depending on the weekend. If you have any question regarding payout details, please contact webmaster@awempire.com.

What is your Privacy policy?

In order to keep in touch with our webmasters, we need a valid e-mail address so please ensure your e-mail address is correct when you sign up. Your e-mail address will never be sold or given out to third party organizations or companies. The same goes for all personal information you share with us (like banking info, name, address, etc.) For further information please read our Privacy Policy.

What happens when I turn off LIFETIME+?

Lifetime+ is turned off by default – this is a legacy setting. If you leave it turned off, your REVS links can generate only basic REVS sales. By turning it on, you will be eligible for Lifetime+ sales in case you bring paying users that are new to our network.

What is LIFETIME+?

LIFETIME+ is a revshare program which earns you 35% to 45% lifetime revshare commission for new members, and 35-45% regular revshare commission for old members.

If you refer a new customer to the network their account will be tied to your affiliate ID on a database level and you will receive 35% to 45% lifetime revenue share after their credit purchases.

The tiers depend on how many credits your users purchase within the given period. Everyone starts from Tier 1 at the beginning of each period.

If they’re not new members and have not been tied to any AWE affiliate previously via LIFETIME+ or PPS, you will receive 35-45% commission of their credit purchases they make with your affiliate cookie. The REVS cookie expires in 14 days, it is not rewriteable, but renewable.

In other words if the users in question came to our site via REVS and don’t have another affiliate’s valid cookie, you have a chance at converting them just like before.

Selling the AWE Program to your site's visitors

What is it about?

A.W. Empire Webmaster Affiliate Program is for webmasters who want to refer customers to us for appropriate compensation. Our affiliate program is free to join and is a good way to offer something new to your surfers to keep them coming back to your site. You will be provided with unique linking codes and other promotional tools that allow our affiliate backend to track sales referred by you.

How can I promote your webcam sites?

We provide a variety of tools such as banners, text links and scripts, but best of all, you can have your very own webcams page tailored to your needs to fit your existing website’s design (Whitelabel or co-branded page). We are always open to new ideas and concepts, so you can always contact us for special deals. Please do not replicate, copy, or try to imitate any part of our sites. We reserve the right to warn and/or terminate affiliates that are found using questionable marketing techniques.

When I visit the Buy Credit page, the target URL loses my webmaster ID or it has another ID appearing there. Why is that?

The sales will go to your account because we use a cookie-based tracking system. Whether or not there is an ID at all in the URL, it’s still being tracked as your sale. The parameters identifying your Webmaster account and program code are sent to the billing server and this information is read from the cookie values.

Payment cookies are not overwritten until they expire. Revshare cookies last 14 days while PPS cookies last 1 month.

I signed up as a webmaster recently, but have not yet provided my payout info. How am I going to get paid?

To speed up the registration process, we made it easier for you to sign up without registering a payment method or having to provide personal details. However, in order to get paid, you will need to provide these details. Once we have approved your details we will register your payment and send it according to the regular payout system (see “How often do I get payment?”).

Please note that if we need to terminate your account during the approval process (due to previous fraudulent activity for example), we will need to withhold your payments permanently.

I have signed up for your program 2/4/7/14/25 days ago, and still see no hits. Are my clicks being stolen or what else can be the problem?

There are no tricks or tactics involved in our business. We fully respect our webmasters, because we know how hard this job can be.

Please keep in mind that webcams are different from many other programs. Many people will check out the free cams and chat with the performers for a while. A lot of visitors need time to decide to make their first purchase. Sometimes it’s a matter of your referral customer meeting the “right” performer to indulge in with. Remember, we are in the people business with live cams.

This is why we offer unlimited free previews to visitors; to make them feel welcome and to gain their trust in the A.W. Empire websites. We have found that this policy creates the up-sell and makes you the most money possible.

To obtain the best results, we suggest that you try different promo tools, and arrange them in different positions on your website. Feel free to ask what promo tools we think would fit and could be integrated best on your site. A.W. Empire w ants to be your partner for financial success in the adult entertainment industry. We are here to help and offer our full support to your efforts.

If I link directly to other pages (e.g. a performer’s profile page) within LiveJasmin or other A.W. Empire websites, will the cookie still be set on the customer’s computer?

Yes, you can link to any or all of our sites’ sub-pages, see the promo tools for link codes or ask for any link code you need and are not in the list.

Is it possible to send traffic to a specific model page on LiveJasmin or Whitelabels?

Yes it is, here’s an example for LiveJasmin:

“https://ptosrd.com /?siteId=jasmin&categoryName=girl&pageName=freechat&performerName=PERFORMERID&prm[psid]=YOURPSID&prm[pstool]=205_1&prm[psprogram]=revs”

In your A.W. Empire promo tools you will find many links to A.W. Empire’s webcam sites’ pages as well as HTML5 Live Feeds, IFRAME thumbs to cams that are online, XML output files to create your own custom site content with as well as a set of banners and ad templates that we are always updating with new content.

A.W. Empire gives you the finest tools in the industry to get your traffic to click on but best of all we have one of the largest arrays of online performers to make you money. A.W. Empire sites also have VIP terms for customers that wish to spend a lot. We can process multiple same day payments for most customers without issues.

I have multiple sites, can I use one account for them all?

You are more than welcome to use your psid for advertising on as many sites as you like. A.W. Empire offers custom campaign codes to help you sort your sales traffic for productivity.

I signed up from www.whatever-domain.com, but I have dozens of other sites. Can I send traffic from those sites too or do I need separate accounts for each site?

You need to provide a website URL when signing up to our program. However, if you have other domains, you are more than welcome to send traffic from those too without permission (you are of course bound to only use sites with legal content!). You can use the custom campaign codes to track sales from multi-site traffic for productivity.

I see strange sale amounts in statistics, why is that?

When you see sale amounts which are not from standard packages it means that the purchase was done through phone processors. There are phone processors who charge based on seconds.

I have thousands of email addresses I have collected from different sources. Can I promote your site by sending emails to those addresses?

We only accept e-mail marketing traffic with the condition that you confirm the following:

  • you have a double opt-in e-mail list of people willing to receive messages about adult content
  • you are a data processor in your own right
  • you would only promote your Whitelabel(s) via e-mail marketing
  • you will send us the creatives for approval before using them

If we find out that someone is promoting our sites by random, aggressive spamming, we will not hesitate to terminate that account immediately. If you would like to promote our services using e-mail marketing, please reach out to your personal account manager to discuss conditions.

What isn’t allowed?

Feel free to send us visitors any way you like, but please respect others’ privacy and DO NOT spam. Spamming will result in an immediate ban from our affiliate program. Sites promoting, linking to or depicting any form of underage pornography will be automatically banned and reported to the proper authorities.

We have a zero tolerance policy on adware and spyware: traffic sent to any of our sites through any form of adware/spyware is strictly prohibited. The accounts of affiliates found using such methods to promote our sites will be suspended immediately and all payments will be forfeited.

Webmasters cannot place identifier cookies on the end users’ hardware without the knowledge of the user and without user interaction with the page elements.

The use of popunders are not allowed if the preset codes in the promo tools have been modified. Only original, unaltered version of popunder codes may be utilized that are currently available in the promo tools.

What’s SPAM?

Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to send unsolicited, undesired bulk messages. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam.

This term is applied to similar abuses in other media–instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, and also the abusive posting of links to our sites from General Audience Community Sites (ex: MySpace and the likes) where minors are know to frequent as well as other site’s guestbooks, blogs, BBS or BBoards that prohibit sexually explicit content by their own Terms of Service.

A.W. Empire wants to maintain its reputation in the adult industry, therefore we expect our affiliates to act in a responsible manner and respect the terms and conditions of other websites when posting links or any visual content (banners, images etc.)

Posting links in adult oriented communities or adult link sites is fine and OK to do. This qualifies as legitimate promotion and not a spam issue generally.

How often are the stats updated?

The stats are updated every 5 minutes.

What promotional tools are available?

How can I stop being an affiliate?

If you would like to delete your affiliate account please send us a support ticket or visit the Additional settings tab under your account settings and click Forget Data.

Referral Program Rules and Regulations

What are the criteria to participate in the model referral program? How do I know if I am entitled to refer cam models?

Every Webmaster is automatically enrolled in the Model Referral program. You can find the relevant tools in the Promo Tools menu by selecting “Model Center” as the site to be promoted.

NOTE:

  • Cam Model Referral Earnings are not included when calculating the Payout Threshold. If you do not reach the Payout Threshold without your Cam Model Referral Earnings, the amount will be assigned automatically to the next periods until you reach your Payout Threshold without your Cam Model Referral income.

What constitutes part of the Models’ earnings?

We consider the following sources of income when calculating the commission:

  • Level dependent incomes:
    • Private Show
    • Two Way Audio
    • Surprise
    • Snapshot
    • Cam2Cam
    • Video Call
  • Level independent incomes:
    • VIP Show
    • My Story
    • Fan Club
    • My Content
    • Messages

What counts as a referral?

  • Referred Webmasters: must be new to our system, existing Partners do not count as a referral.
  • Referred Cam Models: must be new to our system, existing Models are only eligible for referral if they had no earnings in the past six months
  • Customers:
    • PPS – must be new to our system, and buy at least 17.99 credits in one package.
    • REVS – must not carry another affiliate’s cookie, must not have been bound with PPS or Lifetime+ previously by any Webmaster
    • Lifetime+, must be new to our system
    • Whitelabel – domain based tracking (all valid credit purchases count except for members previously referred by any Webmaster using PPS)

Can I refer myself?

You may not refer yourself to our program as it is considered an artificial alteration of your percentages. We have sophisticated automated and manual checks in place to ensure such abuse of the referral program does not occur. Referring yourself will result in the forfeiture of referral commissions and may also result in your account’s removal from the referral system and/or the termination of your affiliate account.

Can I have my friends who already have an A.W. Empire account sign up again for a new account through my referral link code?

Referred webmasters must be new to the system. Referred Models must not have had any earnings in the past 6 months. We have sophisticated checks in place to prevent abuse of the referral program.

Where can I find promo tools/marketing material to recruit Cam Models or Affiliates?

Log in to AWEmpire.com, click Promo Tools on the top navigation menu, this will open the promo tools page. Select AWEmpire.com as the Site for Webmaster Referral, or select ModelCenter for Model Referral. Then pick the type of promo tool you would like to use for your marketing purposes.

How much does Model Referral pay?

Successful Model Referral pays flat commission, up to 10%, for a year starting from the day of the referral. If the Model is eligible for referral, the commission can be 5%, 7% or 10%.

The commission depends on the Model’s nationality. We have lots of Models from certain countries, so we would like to encourage Webmasters to refer Models from the other countries. The full list is subject to change and not made public, but you can contact us anytime asking for the percentage for a specific country. Models from Colombia, the Philippines, Poland, Romania, the Russian Federation and Ukraine are not eligible for referral.

Temporary site promotions may alter referral commissions. Should that happen, we will clearly indicate the eligibility and commission changes, as well as the duration of the promotion on the Programs page.

How much does Webmaster Referral pay?

Webmaster Referral pays up to 36% based on the referred Webmaster’s earnings, for a year. This means the commission starts with 36% in the first two months, then 24%, 12%, 6%, 4%, 2%, each for two months.

In case the referred Webmaster has PPS sales, we count with $40 for each transaction, and calculate the commission from that.

How long does the referral last?

Successful Webmaster and Model referrals last a year (24 periods), counted from the period in which the referral connection was made.

In case you refer a Studio, the referral is counted from the Studio’s referral date, not the Models registered under it.

HTTPS (SSL) Certification for Whitelabels

What is HTTPS (SSL) Certification?

HTTPS certification allows you to direct traffic to secure https pages, so that users do not see non-secure page warnings.

To enable HTTPS traffic re-directs you need to obtain a digital certificate through a qualified Certificate Authority (CA), and we can now do this for you.

Before the CA authorizes your Certificate, your DNS A record needs updating with the new IP address (109.71.161.136).

www.domainname.com DNS A record (www) to 109.71.161.136

domainname.com DNS A record (@) to 109.71.161.136

As usual, there is no need to modify the nameservers.

It can take 2-24 hours for DNS changes to propagate. After that step, you will be able to set up your site for HTTPS.

Why should I enable HTTPS on my site?

We have all seen non-secure site warnings when we land on http pages that contain sensitive information fields such as password or payment details.

When web users see this notification, they can be discouraged to continue their web journey which has a negative impact on site conversion and earnings.

Google and many other major providers are now moving toward HTTPS everywhere in order to safeguard web users’ privacy and security.

This means users will see non-secure page warnings even when being re-directed to ANY http page, regardless of whether any sensitive information is required.

How do I apply for HTTPS (SSL) Certification?

A.W. Empire offers a free-of-charge certification service through Let’s Encrypt.

STEP 1 – Change your DNS A record

  • If you registered your own domain that is not suffixed with lsl.com, you will need to update your DNS A record and IP address. (The new IP Address will be 109.71.161.136)
    • www.domainname.com DNS A record (www) to 109.71.161.136
    • domainname.com DNS A record (@) to 109.71.161.136
    • As usual, there is no need to modify the nameservers.
  • It can take a few hours for DNS updates to propagate.
  • If you registered an lsl.com domain, we will update your DNS A record and IP address automatically.

STEP 2 – Request your HTTPS certificate

  • Login to AWEmpire.com and navigate to your site list in the Whitelabel Editor page.
  • Click SET UP for the domain(s) you wish to register.

STEP 3 – Wait for your HTTPS certificate

  • We will manage the certificate process with Let’s Encrypt, so you do not need to do anything.
  • Certificates can take between 1 and 72 hours to generate, but typically take no more than 1 day.
  • We will send you an email with the next steps as soon as your certificate is ready.
  • Let’s Encrypt has some great technical information if you want to know more.

STEP 4 – Test your HTTPS Whitelabel site

  • We will send you a URL to test in the confirmation email.
  • It can take a few hours for DNS updates to propagate, so do not worry if your HTTPS URL does not work straight away.
  • If problems persist for more than 24 hours, please check your DNS A record and IP address is correct; and contact A.W. Empire Support for further assistance.

Once your HTTPS URL is working, you are ready to update your site map and enjoy the benefits of secure page re-directs. You can find the sitemap in the Tools menu of the Whitelabel editor.

Can I apply for HTTPS (SSL) Certification on my own domain?

As hosting providers, we can apply on the domain owner’s behalf, but we will need you to update your DNS A record with a new IP address before your certificate is generated.

You will find information on how to update your DNS A record on your provider’s site, for example:

https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase

https://uk.godaddy.com/help/ssl-certificates-1000006?isc=goemeu20

The new IP address will be 109.71.161.136

www.domainname.com DNS A record (www) to 109.71.161.136

domainname.com DNS A record (@) to 109.71.161.136

As usual, there is no need to modify the nameservers.

How do I update my DNS a record?

If your domain is suffixed with lsl.com, we will update your DNS A record and IP address. We own the domain, so you do not need to do anything.

If your domain is not suffixed with lsl.com, you will need to update your DNS A record and IP address because we do not own your domain.

The new IP address will be 109.71.161.136

www.domainname.com DNS A record (www) to 109.71.161.136

domainname.com DNS A record (@) to 109.71.161.136

As usual, there is no need to modify the nameservers.

If you are not sure what is required, we recommend checking your domain provider’s website. There is also a lot of information available on web community forums to guide you.

Here are a few useful links:

https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase

https://uk.godaddy.com/help/ssl-certificates-1000006?isc=goemeu20

https://community.letsencrypt.org

Will my HTTPS Certificate be renewed?

We will auto-renew your certificate regularly so there is no need to be concerned.

What do I do when my HTTPS Certificate is rejected or revoked?

A certificate might be rejected during the application process. We will keep trying to rectify the problem during application, and contact you if we are not able to resolve it without assistance.

A certificate can also be revoked after issuance; if for instance, the site is marked as non-secure owing to hacking or some other unforeseen event.

If you have any problems with rejected or revoked certificates, please contact us with your DNS details and the domain(s) impacted, so that we can assist you.

My HTTPS status says OK, but I am still seeing non-secure messages on redirect.

Your site re-directs may be using cookie logic, try clearing your cache and then try again.

It can also take up to 24 hours for DNS records to update, but generally takes around 2-4 hours.

If the problem persists for more than 1 day, please contact Support for further assistance.

UTM Parameter handling for Whitelabels

What kind of UTM Parameters can I use for Whitelabels?

  • Campaign: Groups all of the content from one campaign in your analytics. (eg: utm_campaign=WhitelabelCampaign)
  • Source: Defines which website/source is sending you traffic (eg. utm_source=Newsletter)
  • Medium: The type of marketing medium that the link is featured in (eg. ex: utm_medium=email)

Please note: UTM parameters are case sensitive so if you use “MyCampaign” for one utm_campaign and “mycampaign” for another , they will be displayed as separate campaigns.

How can I generate URL-s with UTM Parameters?

When generating a Link Code promo tool, use the “custom UTM parameters” menu to add the UTM source/ medium and/ or campaign parameters.

What type of actions can I track with UTM?

UTM parameters can track clicks, registrations and sales on our brand sites as well as Whitelabels.

Where can I find this data?

You can find the UTM information inside the Stats menu under the Registration and Sales statistics, by adding the Custom Parameter Dimensions.

How are my UTM Parameters tracked?

UTM Parameters are tracked with Google Analytics and fetched every day from Google Analytics.

What are UTM Parameters?

UTM codes are little snippets of text added to the end of URLs to help you track the effectiveness of your online marketing activity on the web. UTM parameters were introduced on A.W. Empire in April 2018 so from now on our webmasters can track their campaigns by using UTM parameters.

Why can’t I see any information for UTM parameters?

Please note that based on Google’s suggestion we are applying a 24 hours latency to fetch the previous day’s data from Google. So in some cases it can happen that you will see your UTM data 24 hours later than the event (registration, purchase) occurred. It also can happen that due to some other limitations (eg. disabled JavaScript on the users’ side, opted out extension from Google Analytics tracking, some ad block extensions, spam, traffic missing due to internet connection latency) the traffic cannot be tracked.

Partner Postback

Does A. W. Empire support postback tracking?

Yes, we support postback tracking both for our branded sites on both PPS & revshare, and also for whitelabels.

Are there any requirements to use postback Tracking?

Once you are logged into your account you can already set up the postback in the Postback Editor menu.

What kind of parameters do you support?

These are the values that we support in the postback: baseamount, bonusamount, campaignid, camapignname, commission, country, creditAmount, Date, isFirstBill, memberid, programCode, sitedomain, subAffiliateId, transactionHash and static values.

Where do I place my clickid?

The clickid should be sent through our only Dynamic parameter called the subAffiliateId, ex: subAffId={clickid}.

Do you also report chargebacks/refunds through the postback?

Yes we do, these would be sent as a negative commission, ex: commission:-150.

Can I get rebills in the postback too?

Sure you can, we have the transactionHash for that, which is our term for the most commonly known txid or transactionID.

Can I offer specific postbacks or only global?

We prefer to set up Global Postbacks and send the siteDomain parameter to you instead. But technically, we can support offer specific postbacks too.

Can you report Free Signups through the postback?

Yes, under Enable SignUp postback you can define the parameters as you would do for transactions.

How do I set up the postback with A.W. Empire?

Please visit the Postback Editor menu. Here you can add your postback URL, select and name the parameters of your choice.

I also want to send subid and subsource info, can I do that?

Yes you can, but you need to send them through our subAffiliateId parameter as well, separating each different value by triple pipes, ex: subAffId={clickid}|||{pid}|||{subsource}.

Do you have gay or transgender videos?

Yes! Besides straight (Girl category) videos, we also provide videos of our Gay and Trans Models.

How long are the videos?

How do we track sales?

We track the sales exactly the same way as other sales, using affiliate cookies. First cookie wins, cookie expires after 14 days and is non-rewritable, but renewable after 14 days. If Lifetime+ is ON in the Programs menu of your account and the user is new to our network of live sex cam sites, the account is bound to your account and you keep receiving commissions after their credit purchases, whether or not the user still had your cookie in their browser. If you promote your Whitelabel with the Video Promotion API then the general Whitelabel program will be applied for your sales.

Is it necessary to use your video player?

Yes, in order to provide you with our models’ explicit content, we have to make sure that our player gives our models a secure platform where we are able to display their content only in countries where they allow it.

What commission do I get for sales obtained with the Video Promotion API?

How should I embed the video player into my site?

To embed the video player into your website you need to create an empty container (DIV element) with a proper ID. The player will adapt to the position and size of its container.

BimBim.com

What is considered as new member?

A member is considered new if they never purchased credits on any of our sites before. Promoting Bimbim.com is an exception from this rule, as on Bimbim.com they will be considered new, even if they had purchased credits on our other sites. But once they purchased credits on BimBim, they are not considered new on any of our sites (including BimBim).

Is there a referral program for models?

We currently only offer a model referral program for LiveJasmin but not for BimBim.

Is there cross-device tracking?

Affiliate cookies track your sales and registrations on BimBim, there is no cross-device tracking.

I’m already promoting LiveJasmin. Do I have to create a separate account for BimBim?

No, you do not need to create a new account. Just log in with your existing AWE account and select BimBim from the dropdown menu to start!

What if a user purchases packages on BimBim and on LiveJasmin as well?

BimBim is separated from all our other sites when it comes to users. So one user can bring commission for you from both options, provided that the user fulfils the requirements of the programs you are promoting.
