Hi JFPDude, Glad to see you back & feeling better. Here's my responses
What I need from you:
Sell me on why I should promote your sites on top of everybody elses.
TopBucks has been around since 1997 and has been stable, reliable and innovative in the adult industry.
What are you able to do for me to guarantee my success with your program?
Well, guarantees are hard to give when it doesn't depend on only one factor - with this being said, if you are dedicated to your work and are willing to work with me, I'll keep tabs on your progress and work with you to get your ratios to a good level. I'll guarantee that I'm around when you need me and won't be hard to find
Some questions I would have is:
Who does your processing? (checks are a must not an option)
Our main credit card processor is Epoch - after which CCbill is our backup processor. For checks, those are processed with ACHBilling (WTSBank)
Why is your content better than the others? (fresh ideas sell better)
For me to tell you our content is better would be biased

Our reality sites are fresh - we have dedicated producers and we update regularly. Members' areas have load of feeds to keep members busy and fulfilled.
Can I see your members area before I send traffic your way? (sales are better made when I know what the customer will be getting)
I can give you access to the members' area to view what your surfer will be buying.
What affiliate script are you using? (there is a lot of mistrust in scripts like MPA2 which has been proven to have a shave feature)
The script we use was custom made in-house.
Whats your average sales ratio for affiliates?
This is diverse by the type of traffic you send or the type of site you promote it on. I personally have affiliates doing as low as 1:30 & as high as 1:1200. Overall, my affiliates' average is 1:318 - depending on their promotions & their comfort zone - if they are used to certain ratios on their traffic.
If you're interested, please hit me up. I'll be stepping away from the comp for about 20 minutes but will answer you the moment I get back.
