But, to watch everyone talk about "mainstream", and that the grass is greener there makes me chuckle. I've been in non adult AM before I was even in adult 12+ years ago, and I can tell you for a fact that mainstream is no better off for an affiliate than adult is these days. Just an observation.  |
I've seen that as well but there are some who really have switched over to mainstream and I know it for a fact. There are even some who own free scripts now which collect a percentage of traffic for use of the script who are now sending the traffic they get from adult to mainstream offers because they earn more from them on average. That speaks volumes on the matter I think.
Some might be better off, some not. I have experience with mainstream as well but know enough not to make a blanket statement. Opportunity will vary. Although for those affiliates seeing 1:20,000 in adult with their sponsors I think they are better off doing something else because it's difficult to be profitable under those conditions. It doesn't make sense to promote a sponsor under those conditions. Find another, sell the traffic, or move on to something else.
