    What % of AFFILIATES are totally USELESS would you guess?

    I'd put it at perhaps 1 in 30 ever actually sells anything.

    That's going from personal experience seeing the stats from one program owner mate of mine.

    I can believe it.

    Depends on who you consider an affiliate and where you found them.

      It doesn't depend on anything other than knowing the number of webmasters who signed up supposedly to promote your program, and how many actually make a sale.

      Those stats imply to me that probably only 1 in 30 webmasters who post on here actually know what they are doing, the rest are talking shit

        Did you run any contest threads? That is a great way to garner useless "affiliates".

          Perhaps if his program converted better the ratio of actively promoting webmasters would be 1:10 ... who knows.

            I sign up to alot of programs and don't ever push a sale, lots of reasons why also. Could be lack of tools, shitty sites, or just wasnt what I was looking for.

            I've also suddenly started a program sales after 2-3 years of dead time with no traffic, if it fits with something I'm working on, I use it.

            I do believe like you said that MOST people who do sign up will never send a sale.

              5-10% of affiliates generate 90% of your sales.

              Should You Email Your Members?

                  Well most sponsors I have signed up with I have sent sales to, some much much more than others though. Depending on different things. But as you say I have like 40 people reffered to loaded cash and like 3-4 of them actually send any signups.

                    I just took a random sample. 10 affiliates. I spun the dial and hit an affiliate. this is a small sample to be statistically significant I probably needed to do this for 30. I got 3 users who sent traffic 0 sales. 3 who sent sales. and 4 with 0 clicks

                    so if you define useless as sending 0 sales 70% if you define useless as signing up and not sending traffic then the number is 40%

                        It would be nice if you could find out if your referred affiliates for programs are sending traffic and just not converting or not sending traffic. I would guess it's not sending traffic, but it would be nice to know and possibly help out anyone just having conversion problems.

                            what % of sponsors are totally useless and could never convert a sale if you sat at a retards computer and typed the cc # in yourself? probably about the same.

                              Right now affiliates are having a hard time (I know because I am one).
                              We don't have the command of traffic that we once had because the majority of our traffic is now at pornhub, redtube, and a couple of others.

                              And then the remaining traffic that we affiliates have left is unproductive because most people are used to getting the entire paysite members areas for free on torrent sites or illegit tubesites.

                              I don't even count the guys who "send" Search Engine traffic. Especially for the solo girl niche. They are just taking what SHOULD be the program owners sales.

                              For instance....google up Christy Marks. Every penny that Score pays FreeOnes on sales for her is money that they should have made for themselves. Except Freeones is smart enough to SEO their model pages and ScoreCash didn't bother to optimize that for themselves.

                              That's a mistake that too many people are making. And they are paying dearly for that mistake at a time when they need to be making every dollar they can due to piracy and the economy.

                                      I'm sure there are tons of surfers who click the Webmaster link on their favorite porn site thinking they can make some easy money. Then they give up when they realize it's not that easy.

                                                I sign up for a lot. It's usually after some spamming affiliate manager has cold called me on ICQ promising the world. I send traffic for a few weeks, and usually the conversions are crap and that's when I drop them.

                                                  I've also suddenly started a program sales after 2-3 years of dead time with no traffic, if it fits with something I'm working on, I use it.

                                                  I do believe like you said that MOST people who do sign up will never send a sale.

                                                    I aim to be in that 5% - 10% Right now you'll see me pushing very very few sales, if any. But I have a lot to focus on... launching 5 sites over the next 9 months is no easy task when you design, develop, and market everything yourself. However it's a lot of fun for me. Each individual site is like a personal development playground for me. My review site was first, next is a new twist on a TGP site, lots more in the works.

                                                    At the end of each development cycle I buy a moderate amount of traffic to throw at the site in a short amount of time to test scalability and conversion rates from different traffic sources. Once all 6 sites are up (they're all under one brand) I'll buckle down and focus on marketing, traffic, and brand development. Additionally, I take a break midway through a development cycle to reanalyze my SEO and make adjustments as needed.

                                                    The first site is already paying for the dedicated box so it's a break even for me I see a few sales here and there but that's no my focus... I guess what I'm saying here is who knows what affiliate out of those other 90% - 95% will soon be pushing you a ton of leads. Treat'em all with respect, it's just generally better for your own business that way anyway

                                                    From personal experience... out of the 200 sponsors I've signed up with so far, Twistys has treated me the best.

                                                      It's probably the 10/ 90 rule.

                                                        We don't have the command of traffic that we once had because the majority of our traffic is now at pornhub, redtube, and a couple of others.

                                                        And then the remaining traffic that we affiliates have left is unproductive because most people are used to getting the entire paysite members areas for free on torrent sites or illegit tubesites.

                                                        I don't even count the guys who "send" Search Engine traffic. Especially for the solo girl niche. They are just taking what SHOULD be the program owners sales.

                                                        For instance....google up Christy Marks. Every penny that Score pays FreeOnes on sales for her is money that they should have made for themselves. Except Freeones is smart enough to SEO their model pages and ScoreCash didn't bother to optimize that for themselves.

                                                        That's a mistake that too many people are making. And they are paying dearly for that mistake at a time when they need to be making every dollar they can due to piracy and the economy.
                                                        so scorecash owns google and the rights to all of their traffic? thats good to know.

                                                            No, and I don't know what to even make of your statement.

                                                            They DO own the Christy Marks website. So if nothing else they should take the time to optimize her name in the search engine so that when a surfer is specifically looking for her...he comes to them. Has nothing to do with "owning" google or "rights" of their traffic.

                                                            The only traffic that is looking for Christy Marks specifically and nobody else should be going to her site...IF Score Cash is taking the time to optimize it.

                                                            I think there was a post on here a few weeks ago where a person said that maybe instead of opening a shitload of new sites, that perhaps programs should start optimizing what they already have.

                                                            That's intelligent advice. Especially when I compare it to the "owning googles traffic" statement that you just made.

So one DB with all the sponsors and each site belonging to that sponsor (as well as links, FHGs, etc...) allows me to use it in an infinite amount of ways. From end user sites to administration

                                                                          Most webmasters diversify, so there's a bit of a revolving door. Someone who isn't sending traffic now may send traffic 2, 3 months down the road, maybe even over a year after joining.

                                                                            They DO own the Christy Marks website. So if nothing else they should take the time to optimize her name in the search engine so that when a surfer is specifically looking for her...he comes to them. Has nothing to do with "owning" google or "rights" of their traffic.

                                                                            The only traffic that is looking for Christy Marks specifically and nobody else should be going to her site...IF Score Cash is taking the time to optimize it.

                                                                            I think there was a post on here a few weeks ago where a person said that maybe instead of opening a shitload of new sites, that perhaps programs should start optimizing what they already have.

                                                                            That's intelligent advice. Especially when I compare it to the "owning googles traffic" statement that you just made.

Because that means that it is usless for others to work the SE route on her as they are top listed and the surfer will naturally go to herdomain.com over something else. That does not mean that the number 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 guys wont make money.. They will but that way score is pocketing most of it.

                                                                                    there are people who will rank for a name and send the joins to some generic multipass site or whatever - i see it happen all the time.
                                                                                    That's true...BUT they are wasting their position in the search engine and may not be able to even keep that position. Search engines aren't "dumb" anymore.

                                                                                    Plus they would be wasting the effort because surfers whom are searching for a specific girl have ZERO interest in a mega-site full of generic content that is already available for free on every torrent and illegit tube site.

                                                                                    Though what you are saying was pretty prevalent even a year or two ago. It's not real smart for them to do now, at least not if they want to make money.

CMK is fairly new and not a large mega-content site; opposite of Freeones which is a huge and very content-rich site. If he beats others in SEO (they dominate many other sponsor sites who in your opinion should get all the sales), he earned his cut. The site on its own took some time to get to 3. Lets not also forget that Christy was featured on some of our sites before she had her own website, Freeones was one of the first affiliates to generate her page and start making sales off her name.

                                                                                                  We don't have the command of traffic that we once had because the majority of our traffic is now at pornhub, redtube, and a couple of others.

                                                                                                  And then the remaining traffic that we affiliates have left is unproductive because most people are used to getting the entire paysite members areas for free on torrent sites or illegit tubesites.

                                                                                                  I don't even count the guys who "send" Search Engine traffic. Especially for the solo girl niche. They are just taking what SHOULD be the program owners sales.

                                                                                                  For instance....google up Christy Marks. Every penny that Score pays FreeOnes on sales for her is money that they should have made for themselves. Except Freeones is smart enough to SEO their model pages and ScoreCash didn't bother to optimize that for themselves.

                                                                                                  That's a mistake that too many people are making. And they are paying dearly for that mistake at a time when they need to be making every dollar they can due to piracy and the economy.
                                                                                                  SEO is a skill, and if you don't have that skill, you have to pay for it. So whether they pay Freeones, or pay some slacker some astronomical fee to do it and adjust it every time SE's change, they are paying.
