From what I see at the moment, the situation is as follows.
adultfriendfinder is a good company, that converts well and gives money, in spite of some apparent problems with lost commissions
webmasters would be making even more money, if it were not for various suprises like
a) the unsuspecting webmaster sends traffic for adultfriendfinder.com, but the client signs up for adult.com, germanfriendfinder.com or another program. Poor webmaster has no clue he lost that commission due to the somewhat strange setup of friendfinder's commission program (it seems to me that this is not "informed consent", most webmasters seem to be unaware of these lost commissions)
b) the unsuspecting webmaster sends traffic for adultfriendfinder.com. This client is a webmaster who signs up as a webmaster for adultfriendfinder.com. Tough luck, he did not come via the "broker" link for adultfriendfinder.com, so another lost commission.
c) finally, he sends a webmaster through his broker link for adultfriendfinder.com. Hooray!! a webmaster override commission!! The webmaster signs up not only for adultfriendfinder, but also for alt.com. Another lost commission.
d) but thank god, sometimes traffic comes in as traffic for adultfriendfinder.com, and actually signs up for adultfriendfinder.com. A real commission!! And adultfriendfinder converts so well, that webmasters like it, still make good money in spite of the lost commissions, as demonstrated in a-c above.
Maybe, for the really well informed webmaster, there is a possibility to tweak the settings in half a dozen webmaster areas for the various friendfinder programs, so these losses can be avoided.
I am waiting for the positive confirmation, or maybe I will have to check that out myself, if there is a way around.
