    The only problem with iwantu.......

    I was looking at the program trying to remember why I took links down in the first place.... its that 'must complete profile' thing.

    A lot of people join dating sites with no intention of meeting anybody , they just wanna look at pics and webcams, probably a lot of married men and guys in relationships who will NEVER fill out a public profile.

    I wanna get paid for them too! Currently your program wouldnt give me a dime for it.

    Why not a pay per confirmed email program? That way webmasters can choose pay per email OR pay per profile.

    In my opinion this is the only thing holding you back from being the next big dating site. I'm sure im not the only webmaster youre losing over this.

    Please take this as friendly advice

    I definately take it as constructive criticism, if only we got more of these kinds of comments

    When faced with launching Pay-per-Email versus Pay-per-Profile, we opted for Pay-per-Profile on a complete no ratio plan, to be different. Right now, with our new scale starting on Monday, it has been adjusted to help people earn more money with it.

    However, there is no rule saying we can't offer both. We already offer 5 program types, if you include Webmaster Referrals, so having a 6th only makes our program better.

    The way our current site works though, as the management had decided on it, is that people who don't create their profile cannot view most pages, they get redirected to a 'you must first create your profile' page. So in order to launch Pay-per-Email where it has nothing to do with profile creation, the way the site works in this regard would have to be changed.

    If we can get more affiliates or potential affiliates to request this, it will definately give it more weight in meetings.

    Thanks for your comments, and I'll definately keep you updated on this

      Wow I didnt expect such a positive response, glad to see you guys are open minded and willing to listen!

      I like the 'you must first create your profile' redirect idea though.

      I left out the main reason for my first post - I push sites like this with WEBCAM specific traffic, not dating - *alot* of these guys dont ever plan on showing their faces or revealing personal info.

                Hey Xplicit!

                as Varius said, thanks for the comments, constructive criticism is always nice to hear and helps us improve and get better at what we do.

                just wanted to add the fact that stats have shown that around 4 people will create a profile for 1 to confirm an email. This helped the initial decision of having the ppp program. But definetly, having both programs gives even more flexibility to our affiliates; option that should be added in the near future.

                Also, concerning geo ip tools, in the very near future the full page and half page geo targeted ads will be available in addition to the geo-targeted fhg.

                thanks for your comments!

                  My stats right now say so far today I have 43 free signups and 2 paid signups.

                  But my total earnings is $1.85

                  WTF?

                      I know you realized now why this is, because you posted in the other thread, but incase people only see this one the reason is:

                      By default, you will see the base amount of $0.05 throughout the day, however once Midnight strikes, those stats will get updated to the true amount you deserve based on your paid:free ratio that day.

                            EH, tried it for a couple days.

                            Then yesterday sent 43 free signups, but no one converted to paid, so I got paid fucking $2.15.

                            So, in total in the last 3 days ive sent 160 free signups and 3 paid signups.

                            My question: is this done on a day by day basis? Or at the end of the period will you take my OVERALL AVERAGE RATIO to get my final payout?

                            Because right now im looking at todays stats and that would have been $75+ with other sponsors... but i got 2 bucks.
