    More thoughts on affiliate loyalty

    After talking to people over the last few days about webmaster loyalty to a sponsor, I thought of a good analogy that I think fits best:

    A new paysite is like a new song, where the sponsor is the recording artist. The affiliate is like a radio station.

    A radio station will play the hell out of a new hit song, until their listeners don't request it anymore. When they stop playing the song, its got nothing to do with lack of "loyalty" to the recording artist. The probably still love the artist, and they look forward to playing their next song.

    With this analogy, let me just say that we appreciate our affiliates. The traffic they've sent has got us to the level we are today.

    The correct focus of a sponsor is to deliver good sites that affiliates can sell, then honestly and fairly compensate their affiliates for their efforts.

    Thank you guys for your comments and for your support of Lightspeedcash.

              just dont become the 'clear channel' of porn

              Often times I wonder why
              There's love and hate, theres live or die.
              When sickness comes I must decide:
              When feelings go, theres suicide.

                      Bang on Steve.

                      I think borrowing a page from the Nasty Dollars business model would benefit any program operator. Their sites are always hot, and they always convert. They don't do much in the way of affiliate bonuses, other than convert like hell, though. Wish they did a little more here .. But I guess do what you do best.

                      That being said, your sites all look great too. Only reason I haven't been promoting them is because of a Gentleman's non-competition agreement with a parter of mine who's already selling your stuff.

                      Treat affiliates well, and we'll keep spinning your new records.

                                That's definitely the right and best approach to maintaining loyalty with not only affiliates, but also with surfers who are already members of the network of sites.

                                Cheers,
                                Matt

                                      And if you put it in that terms Lightspeed should be up for a Grammy or two....

                                            Following this analogy, consider hosted galleries and other promo tools the "45's" of the industry... some sponsors never release new ones and still expect album sales
                                            .

                                                  Do a "sorority girl spankings" site with your sweet stable of models and I could sell the hell out of it. Probably not mass market enough, but a kinkster can dream.

                                                          I actually will throw them some traffic in the next few days seeing i haven't tried them and all post my signups and ratios hows that steve? I'm lookin for a long term sponsor and i haven't found to many that are doing higher payouts only little stuff.

                                                          lets see what happens if I can call them home for some of my traffic.

                                                                I think you are right, except that the "listeners" the general porn buying public generally has no idea who the "recording artist" is, they only know individual songs and have little to no brand loyalty except to the particular song they like.

                                                                  A new paysite is like a new song, where the sponsor is the recording artist. The affiliate is like a radio station.

                                                                  A radio station will play the hell out of a new hit song, until their listeners don't request it anymore. When they stop playing the song, its got nothing to do with lack of "loyalty" to the recording artist. The probably still love the artist, and they look forward to playing their next song.

                                                                  With this analogy, let me just say that we appreciate our affiliates. The traffic they've sent has got us to the level we are today.

                                                                  The correct focus of a sponsor is to deliver good sites that affiliates can sell, then honestly and fairly compensate their affiliates for their efforts.

                                                                  Thank you guys for your comments and for your support of Lightspeedcash.

                                                                            A new paysite is like a new song, where the sponsor is the recording artist. The affiliate is like a radio station.

                                                                            A radio station will play the hell out of a new hit song, until their listeners don't request it anymore. When they stop playing the song, its got nothing to do with lack of "loyalty" to the recording artist. The probably still love the artist, and they look forward to playing their next song.

                                                                            With this analogy, let me just say that we appreciate our affiliates. The traffic they've sent has got us to the level we are today.

                                                                            The correct focus of a sponsor is to deliver good sites that affiliates can sell, then honestly and fairly compensate their affiliates for their efforts.

                                                                            Thank you guys for your comments and for your support of Lightspeedcash.
