Can anyone recommend a good dating program to sign up to that converts. AFF sucks badly. My first month I had 2 signups and made $40. That was on 100 Visits. 10 months later I have 1000 visits and not 1 sale. ZERO. My theory is that when they see an acct close to the $50 payment they don't credit orders. How can you explain getting 2 orders in the first month and then zero in 10 months after that. They get your hopes up and then let you down. What is an honest converting dating company? I am going to let AFF keep their $40 as they obviously have no intention of letting it go past $50
You can find some dating affiliates on CJ or neverblue ads. you will find some good dating affiliates with $3-4 per lead.
I don't know about them not crediting orders. But they do something else that is just plain stealing. If you are running their per-free-member program and you don't get enough paid memberships among the free signups they RETROACTIVELY convert you to the percentage program and steal your earnings.
Well, 1000 visits over 10 months is almost no traffic, so judging your average conversion/traffic quality with that little traffic is impossible. Although I personally don't see AFF as first choice as well, they always pay their affiliates. The explanation for your drop in conversions is simple: 1200 visitors aren't statistically relevant enough to get any reliable numbers. I often see no signups in 2k visitors, then 1:200 the next day.
Not sure if you would be interested in a similar program: basically instead of providing leads to others, you provide leads to your own dating site which is created via a template and uses a huge established database. Might sound complicated but it's not: you click through some steps to setup your dating website (either on a subdomain or your own domain) and then you own any customers you send there. You don't need to create a critical mass of users because you are using a huge established database. If this interests you or anyone else, PM me and we can discuss it further.
You definitely need more traffic, depending on how well targeted the traffic is. COPEAC and Neverblue have a boatload of dating programs of all types so you can really target the market and get better response.
Well i have used AFF and it has paid me lots of times. Like said above its just numbers, more people more chance to get sign ups. Its like if you were to purchase adspace on google adwords, it usually takes a ton of clicks to get a few sales..... I know of a good paying cam site if you want it? Shoot me a PM...
Check out one of my clients Date.com. I can give you a higher payout right off the bat per membership than regular affiliate get. We also have free web tamplates, they are basic but do the job. Keyword files available as well.
As previously stated, NeverBlueAds (3rd link in my signature) has a decent selection of dating programs, as does AffiliateBot (4th link in my signature)... Good Luck!, nscdn
AFF is simply too well known by now. I don't know any other similar services but you should definitely go for something else.
