AdultFriendFinder now at Alexa Rank #69 (IRONY!)

    Haha I thought some people here might enjoy the irony of this.
    For those unfamiliar, AdultFriendFinder is kind of a dating site? But actually is for sex/swingers. Hence the tremendous irony of it being ranked #69.

    Screenshot available here (I would post the image direct, but this crap is a bandwidth drain)

    But I have to say, I'm impressed. Almost all of that is traffic from their affiliate program.
    Supposedly that site is raking in hundreds of millions. Ugh.

    haha perhaps. If I were them, I would just stop accepting new affiliates to keep that rank.
    Ok, perhaps not.
    But I'm sure I'd consider it.

    Ok. AdultFriendFinder=sex and swingers
    If you don't get the inuendo, may I reccomend UrbanDictionary?
    I'm also making a vague reference to the true power of affiliate programs. There's some info on the page, and there's is damn incredible. If only I was an adult webmaster. ::sigh::

    Well when webmasters can earn almost $85 bucks per sign up with Adult Friend Finder.... I would promote this affiliate program like crazy. They also have monthly prizes where the top webmaster can make $10K. But the adult market seems to be saturated with Adult Friend Finder ads

    You know, I'd think so too. But places like pornotube are swing 150k+ per month, and it appears at least that it's their primary advertisement method. I feel an original approach could be nice. If I had a decent adult site, I'd actually consider making a custom banner.

    Wasn't that site acquired for something in the $1 billion range?

    One of those billion dollar deals you don't get to read about in the newspaper.

    The pr0n business is huge.
