Hello there,

I'm one of the lead developers of SceneDDL, a website initially founded in 2009 that automatically uploads the majority of releases from The Scene. It has spawned several successors (such as SceneFlux, Mukki, DDLTheNet, etc). Most people here will likely not have heard of any of these sites, which is why I'm creating this post today.

We create a very large amount of original links per day on many ddl hosts for the very latest releases, however I believe we differ from traditional DDL sites.

My post here is to ask advice as to what steps our development team could take to affiliate with more traditional DDL sites.

Regards,
Verity

Edit:
Based on the amount of requests we have received, it has been decided that we will start offering services and software for people who wish to run or maintain their own automated sites/servers.

use serious filehosts (rapidshare, fileserve, ... , filesonic?). otherwise you have no chance. dont go after money from this very beginning. filehosts you use arent crappy, but I wouldnt buy an account there.
 
I wouldn't mind paying you to set me an auto site up, I've heard they cost around $300-$400 a month to maintain? If you're interested I have a few ideas for my site if you can implement them in your code.

Very nice site and idea though, shame I can't code.

Ours never cost that much, and we had some large servers at one point. They can pay for themselves if run correctly.

Helping others isn't something we've explored. Although I saw someone with a thread on this site with 100 pages selling a script that leeched from my site and reuploaded. Lame :F
 
The overall theme here seems to revolve around which file hosts you have.

Is the remaining step basically get white-listed by other DDL sites?
 
It's great to see the original SceneDDL back.
I remember everybody was trying to get xldr-publisher to work to try and fill the gap that SceneDDL left behind.

Now what exactly do you want to do when you say affiliate with DDL sites?
- A simple link exchange?
- Do you want to start submitting your pages to these DDL sites for a little extra traffic?
- Or some kind of additional mirror on the release pages that link to the DDL search pages?
- Or something else you had in mind?

Regards.
 
I was unaware the real DDL community even knew we existed back in the day :P

As for affiliations, we're looking for the best ways to exploit our love of sharing. I'd assume spreading links around would achieve that goal. But as I stated, I'm unfamiliar with how one would go about doing that.

When we originally started we gained popularity through word of mouth alone, however I don't think that would be good enough now.

I'm fairly sure we could be a huge asset to any DDL site due to the ludicrous amount of new content we produce each day, however I'm unsure what the site would require in order to be white listed.

Our uploader can easily be configured to do things such as alternate the domain name suffix on rar files to a random affiliate, etc. Really just looking for advice on how to be white listed by more traditional DDL sites.
