Not sure why you asked (since it's kind of off topic), but no, I do not have an affiliate program currently for Asian Diva Girls, or any of my other sites, although I have pondered starting one from time to time, and some Sponsor programs have discussed with me about joining their program...

Honestly, I do pretty well without one, and I keep 100% of the profits in the process.

If you think about it, I would have to at least double my profits (plus offset the cost of launching my own affiliate program) to break even, and if I joined with an existing Sponsor program, I would have to quadruple my sells, just to be where I already am.

And that doesn't even begin to take into account the hassles of dealing with spamming affilates, etc.

Your flagship site, ImportIcons (with an affiliate program) has an Alexa ranking of 189K, while my independent flagship site pulls nearly four plus times higher numbers (even higher exponentially speaking in terms of actual traffic), with no bots/tricks.

At least this way (operating as an independent exclusive content producer), no one can ever accuse me of shaving...

wow...i was just wondering about the affiliate program so that we could do a link exchange since we're both in the asian niche but i wasn't expecting you to go into that much detail.

thank you for pointing out that your alexa ranking is much higher than ours... cheesh
