What program are you using? PCT or PPC? Can you show me a url? I did very very well with them on some sites that I have done in the past ($50+ per day on average). So much has to do with the creative and links you are using, the placement, and the program. PM me if you dont want to share the info here...

I ran it for a day and the stats updated at the end of the week where it showed 15 click throughs, 1 signup, and $1.26 so it isn't that great.

10 cents a click not that great? Remember this goes where adsense forbids you to put their ads. :eek:

I've personally used FF and AFF on all my sites usually and done really well, the best method though (I am not affiliated with this site at all, just use it) is using something like axelsfun.com or something like that -- they put fake profiles up there instead of the acutal FF or AFF Geo targeted ads but they generate alot more click throughs.
Give you an idea -- for AFF I use the Percentage payout - I was earning about $40-80/month with the PPC started using the axels account and switched to Percentage -- Made well over $300 that next month in signups
for FF I used Percentage only, I average on a site that gets about 3k uniques per day (and is a games/video type of site) -- 3-6 signups per day, 1 out of every 10 or so are paid members.
The AFF network is great to use if you use it correctly, just gotta be careful because their Geotargeted Banners of the females are sometimes horrible. So either use a paid service as above or email them and ask if you can create your own fake profiles on your site (Image + Ref URL) and that will work well.

I have been using Adult Friend Finder for about five months now and have earned over $4,500 with them. I run a network of "shock" sites which host the ads, and I also use a script which allows me to put whatever images I would like in the geo targeted banners, giving me a higher clickthrough/conversion rate. I started off on the Pay Per Click program, and was earning anywhere between $50-$80 per day. After a couple of months went by they said that my traffic did not convert well enough and that I would have to be switched over to the revenue share program. I was pretty annoyed with this in the beginning, but I still earn around $800 per month with revshare. It seems to increase every month also as people set their automatic monthly renewals up. Overall I have had excellent customer support and have been ultimatly satisfied with their affiliate program. I would suggest it to anyone. If you are interested in the script which changed the images just contact me we will work something out.

Im not sure I understand what this script does. Is it one of those scripts that display "live webcams" and then you click on one of them and it refers you to another url?

I'm not exactly sure of the script that he is using, but most of them are pretty much the same. AFF Geotargeted Ads are pretty bad, they show random user profiles for the age/genders you select, but to be honest without being negative against people, some of the woman that would show are very ugly and would not entice people to click on the ads. What these programs do (and they are allowed by AFF), they either select random images (not real AFF members usually) or you can support images on your own, and it creates a code for you. I don't want to spam my site but i use it for instance on my riddleman.net site at the very bottom, you will see all the girls there are pretty good looking and they entice decent click throughs. --
These programs although sometimes do cost, they are well worth it as like stoned said you can earn alot of money through AFF from the reoccuring payments each month (which start to build up 5-7 months in).

Bill

i feel like crap, the lowest paying AFF affiliate is the Indian friend finder.....they pay 0.25 for a girl sign up, where as most others like koreanFF, chineseFF, latinFF etc, pay 1.50 - 2$

I would lose the border and the join now link from the geo ads. Maybe fewer, and larger photos too. It is a fine line between tricking your users and getting them to show genuine interest. Here is what I would do.
1) Lose the "join now" link. The join link is out of context, makes it look like an ad, and only takes them to the same place the photos take them anywhere, so lose it.
2) Lose the border. The more the ads blend into the site, the better. I might even add some text above that says, "friends of India Escorts" or something. Make the ads look like part of the site.
3) Landing page and setting the options is important. Use the "bypass 18+ page" and send them right to search results, and it will improve conversions bigtime. Again, get users to the most compelling content as fast as possible. Less clicks, and more results showing girls in their area. That will entice them into signing up.
4) I *think* when using the model option instead of members for what photos to display in the geo banners, you can choose the model race. There may not be an Indian Option, but if there is, use it.
Another thought might be to get some stock Indian photos, and kind of mimic the layout of the AFF geo banners, just linking to the site under the photos, using your ref link...
Hope this helps!

I started with AFF about a year ago I was making $1000-1200 a month using ppc which was around 15 cents per click.
Almost immediately they said my traffic wasn't converting enough (free account signups weren't converting to pay) and they were considering converting me to percentage payout.
After working with me they eventualy paid me about $6000 they had been holding back on and continued to pay me until about 4 months ago when once again they complained about convertion rates.
By this time due to the fact that my site is a fairly high profile site in the chat field my affiliate link was #1 on google for terms like friend finder chat rooms and adult friend finder chat rooms. By this time I was making $1500-$2000 (20 cents per click)
After emailing them repeatedly and getting no reply I was finally able to catch my affiliate manager on YIM.
She was able to get me paid and they have since converted me to percentage which is paying less than 5 cents per click.
I have always used two other programs in addition to AFF and am in the process of phasing AFF out. Those programs have generally produced better pay per click than AFF but I needed a variety of programs on my site for content (SEO) purposes.

I would highly reccommend DatingGold (http://www.datinggold.com/index.php?aid=5841)as another program to use in conjunction with AFF. I have added them to the mix as of last week, and they are making me about $10 per day right now, which isnt a ton, but I also only have them rotating in remnant spots, so taking that into consideration, it is decent. I am going to move them up as they continue to earn and try to get AFF and Dating Gold running at 50/50 to spread my dependence on a single affiliate program. I think with some tweaking, I can get both programs to $50/day which would be a nice chunk of change per month.
If you check em out, sign up under my ref link.

I used to use Dating Gold and they do convert very well although in my opinion their Geotargeted ads arn't that well, they have alot of payout options and like i said earlier convert well -- I convert 1:42 w/ AFF and about 1:39 w/ Dating Gold I just make more w/ AFF then DG that's why I stick it out with them, but DG is another good resource to try if you want a secondary income.

What exactly does DatingGold accept as a sale?
A sale at DatingGold is defined when one completes and submits their registration details from the affiliates' specific url and converts into a full paying member. A full paying member is one who has subscribed to the program(s) of DatingGold.com by purchasing on the respective program(s) website(s) via paypal, check or valid credit card and who does not already have an account with the particular DatingGold program(s) at the time of registration. DatingGold.com may also pay on each trial registration generated on traffic leaving your specific referral link. All registered members will be kept informed of monthly promotions and incentives. DatingGold's cookie duration is for lifetime of each member. Yes - DatingGold will accept members from all countries.
That is from their website, they say they accept from all countries, but just to be safe I would drop them an email and double check just so you have it in writing in case anything would change.
Good Luck,
-Bill
