    Well, I started promoting friendfinder in spanish (amigos.com) and in my 1st day I spent $40 and earned $20 but after optimizing the ads I'm already on 20/35 on the 2nd day (expected $30-40 profit today).

    Now my question is:

    They say in the page that they change you to the paid program if people doesn't pay and you only get free signups...

    How often does this happen at least in friendfinder? People from spanish-talking countries like mine don't use the credit card that much so I think it will be harder to get paid signups.

    Does anyne have a similar experience with friendfinder? I don't want to lose $20+ a day :confused:

    If you do not provide enough paid signups you will get very low figures for the payper click version (like $0.01) so do not invest to much if you can't get conversions.

    it is very possible that they will change you to pay per sale, and they will also cut off a big part of the unpaid balance
    it happened to me

    How bad was your conversion score? They say if you hit less than 20-1 uniques-free signup they'll cut you off - I'm at 25-1 consistently - do your stats have to be really ugly before they pay attention to you or will 21-1 get you cut off?

    I'm getting 13 uniques-1 free but none of the 263 free signups I got in 2 days have paid.

    Until I get an answer from FF itself I won't continue the program because I think it's too risky.

    How many months do you have with FF bunni?

    I've only been at it a week - I'm having an issue with my account where I cannot see the sub ID tracking page... I'm sending traffic from a relatively varried number of sites and it's killing me because I'll set 5 new ads up on different sites and my uniques/signup will go way up or way down and I can't pinpoint where the 'good' traffic is coming form without the 50+ subIDs I've set up. No sales yet although I'm on the ppc so I don't see a cut of that... but less than 25-1 free signups-sales and they'll switch you to a percentage account.

    The only way I think you can get 1/25 is by incentivized traffic

    Well, my sub ID page was finally fixed - I've got a couple sites converting 15-1 so that's all that will be running tomorrow. I've got 20 or so new sites going up tomorrow but I'm going to link them to the percentage payout campaign long enough to get some idea what they'll convert at before moving them over to ppc. At .08 epc, and .04 cpc - my current numbers from my good sites - it will take 2500 uniques/day to net $100/day.

    That's my 2 week goal for adult friend finder, $100/day net.
