Why Adult Friend Finder Sucks

Discussion in 'Affiliate Programs' started by aliasx, Jan 14, 2008.

    Recently a lot of my people have been
    asking me how come they don't make profit from AFF.
    There are quite a few reasons actually.

    First, they've been around forever. Since the dawn of time.
    So people have seen them and possibly already tried them.

    Secondly, many of my people are saying they have trouble getting paid!
    They promise pay-per-signup, but as you can see, they have a little
    disclaimer saying that if your traffic is unproductive,
    they will switch you to pay per referal.
    This is just a complex way of stealing your leads.

    I strongly suggest you read my adult affiliate guide located in my signature.
    I put all the info in 2 emails and you will learn from my mistakes.

    I do agree

    And I'm happy to work with the highest converting international dating affiliate programs (same thing for the webcams business)!

    ;)

    i did join aff before, but shortly remove the ads.
    it might work for us and europe targeted visitors only.

    Yes I am very disappointed in Adult friend finder and will be removing their ads before I do anymore promotion on those sites.

    What other adult dating sites would anyone suggest

    How do you promote the webcam company?
    do they have banners for sites?
    why did you take the sign up fee instead of the 30% ongoing?

    thanks

    If you wanna make some fast bucks, you would go with the per sign up instead of the revshare. You make easy instant money with the per sign up!

    I made a few grand with them this month (march). I use the pay per order option and they pay $90 a paid sign up now. I am now beginning to build a list to promote other sex related programs as well. But AFF has been good to me.

    I have heard very poor things about AFF. Poor conversions and the "unproductive referral" clause being used to take away large commissions. It seems rather scam-ish and I wouldn't recomend this program anyone. Either pay per signup or pay on a percentage commission basis but don't retroactively and after the fact take away earnings. I don't trust any program that takes such actions.

    Especially when their terms of service is vague and has no "bright line:" how active do your referrals have to be exactally. What's the limit and what can cause your account to be un-paid. When you invest in a program you expect them to compensate you... With the Adult Friend Finder Affiliate program, that's rather unclear. I usually prefer in-house programs due to high payouts and better contact with the affiliate manager - AM. However, with a network, at least you're a little more protected.

    They specify very clearly that your traffic quality has to be at least 1 free sign up for every 20 uniques and 1 paid for every 25 free members but if you send them decent traffic you have nothing to worry about. So far I only lost $90 from a refund but mostly they have let it slide, not deducting from my commissions. I always recommend members start out with pay per order as it can put some really good money in your pocket fast.

    Is your site earning good profit from it then every month now?How you promote your site?By SEO plus link building or adwords or other methods?In my opinion i think FF or AFF converting ratios are already the greatest among other dating sites.In my opinion I think the market will grow also as more and more peoples looking for sex and dating ONLINE and every second will have peoples reaching 18 years old that are eligible to use aff
