GoFuckYourself.com - Adult Webmaster Forum - View Single Post - Dating Sponsors, WTF Is The Major Malfunction?

On one of my dating sponsors, i average about 800-1k free ads that i dont get paid for. When/IF they convert to a paid membership i will get money.

It is surprising to see that at the end of the month i only have between 30-50 converted signups per month ....

Isnt that like 3%-5% of the free signups actually convert?

I know the program owner well, and i am positive he doesnt shave, or skim, or any other false shit .....

What the fuck is the problem?

1) person signs up for free
2) he surfs the site until he finds someone he likes
3) goes to contact her but realizes he has to pay
4) only 5% TOPS are willing to pay?

Now the other thing that baffles me ...

These free signups can also place a free personal/swinger ad.

Eventually someone is going to convert to a paid membership just to contact them, then they will need to pay to return the call so to say.

So you would think if sending 1k free ad's per month, eventually you might send the free surfer that tries to contact someone, who then comes and converts .... adding upto 2 converting signups for the day.

I cant think of a single way that id be able to increase this ratio since i really have nothing to do with it.

Unless you guys offer us a second signup form for surfers, where they have to pay to join right off the bat?

That may be tricky since, and would most likely require BYOT, but id be willing to throw it some traffic.
