Sly,
I can probably offer some advice and tips form my experience.
1) Which order different traffic types convert best in (atleast for our affiliates):
- targeted dating traffic (SE, PPC, mail, dating directories, advertorial/review sites)
- networked feeder sites
- adult SE / adult mailer
- adult keywords PPC
- adult site member areas
- TGP traffic
- other/blind/misc. traffic
2) Most of our best converting affiliates have gotten their own partner site. This is especially effective if your traffic comes from your own established website. Adding a "personals.mydomain.com" site is very easy with our automated partner program and offers you awesome flexibility, from design, to customizing emails and even pricing points!
If you are just throwing links around here and there, try to focus them more. Maybe instead of having 20 links to diff sites on your page, have only 5-10 but make them more obvious.
Hopefully that helps you out a bit
