Basic rules for new affiliates:

Site must be about Pokémon (pro-Pokémon obviously); whole or part (sites exclusively about Pokémon preferred)

No hentai/porn

Site must be functioning (no 'site coming soon', offline for updates, hiatus, etc.). Dead links are removed regularly (link will be reinstated when site is back online if reciprocal link is still displayed)

Reciprocal link/button must be displayed. Non-reciprocal links are removed regularly; please e-mail me if your link has been removed in error.

Please upload button/ribbon to your own server

Link and/or button/ribbon must be displayed on every page. Sites that list their affiliates on a 'Links' page (or at least linked on the Main page) will be listed only in my Links section (Current Links) as well, but can be upgraded to Affiliate and listed on every page if your site does the same

If using a text link, please use this site's correct and full name (We All Live in a Pokémon World...); it is NOT "Pokémon World", "Kimberly's Pokémon Site" or "kimsites" (the domain name). "Pokémon" can be abbreviated as "Pkmn" or "PKMN" if necessary

Sorry, no longer accepting forums only

Note that this site does not rank affiliates. Please do not ask to affiliate with my site and then place it in some 'junior', 'elementary', or other lower rank category. I'm not necessarily expecting 'top affiliate' (as many top affiliate requirements require serebii.net-like content), but anything less than normal or regular is just not worth the affiliation

No page #, hit, layout, or update requirements...just your support! Why?

Page #s... Quality over quantity; a site can have 5 pages of detailed content or 50 pages that say nothing. Some people do not even count "About me" or "About site" pages as content, however, I think that if someone takes the time to add these personal touches to their Pokémon site, it often says more than what's normally considered 'content'.
Hits... Some larger sites require 'the same amount of hits' as they have or a very high amount, which is often unrealistic and unfair to a smaller site or a site just starting out, as sites gain visitors through affiliation
Layouts... In recent years, many Pokémon sites have adopted the three-column layout (left menu, center content, right affiliates), mine included, however, more recently is the css/style switcher format, that is quickly becoming the standard. I do not know css, and therefore do not require affiliates to know it.
Updates... And this is often the most unfair of any affiliate requirements, as no one has the right to dictate when someone else must work on their site. It's more important for a site to be maintained than continuously stating that it's been updated. If there are pages that were never completed, graphics (on your server) that don't show up, and half the affiliate links are dead, it's likely that the site is no longer active. Some sites that are no longer active, however, still contain valuable content.

One last thing, when applying for affiliation, you will never be required to type a stupid, irrelevant phrase in your email request to this site!

Please be sure to use the correct URL (splash page); do not link directly to kimsites.net/pokemon/index_main.html (as this page only exists when there is a splash) OR kimsites.net (my homepage, not my Pokémon site)
