Originally posted by Sosa heh, I really thought some of the top guys would be making more with lightspeed.
This is funny -- wasn't someone recently saying that Lightspeed was "saturated?" --- which would you rather have?
We have a legion of small affiliates --- I'd rather be supported by a solid base of "small bricks" than hanging from a couple of "large ropes", ya know?
Originally posted by detoxed 100 clicks wouldnt tell me anything man, I convert 1:700, and send tens of thousands of clicks a day. This traffic has never converted better with any other sponsor.
With 100 clicks, you will convert with us! you do not need more to see the difference
If you can send thousands of clicks per day, we will give you full domain co-branding as well!
Originally posted by detoxed So I'll convert with 100 clicks, when NO OTHER SPONSOR has converted better than 1:750? Can I get $5000 if I dont have a sale after 100 clicks?
Dude, what kind of traffic do you have? are we talking about dating traffic here? In 8 years in that business, I think i never saw dating traffic converting 1:750!
Our average overall conversion is 1:116. So with 100 clicks, you defenitely have strong change of converting. Plus, we are paying 50$ per signup! So you will most probably get 50$ for 100 clicks

It's possible to not get one on 100 clicks....but let's try with 1000-2000 and if it's not pure trash traffic, I can guarentee you better than 1:750 EASY!!

Originally posted by Varius I'm just wondering how other programs' affiliates look like after the top 5 or 10......how much is your 100th place affiliate doing?
I think its important to have things spread out and not just rely on one big guy
- Our 100th place affiliate is looking at about $230 for this month....
- We will have 43 affiliates make over $1000 !
- Our top affiliate is looking at about $8400 this month.
- These are not even including 10% Referral commissions

I bet were both in the top 30
And ranked 29 at TCG I make more than the #1 guys on the other lists.. quite a bit more. Not knocking thier programs I hear nothing but good words about them, I just thought there was alot more money being thrown around.
send those guys my way and ill cut you a great deal.
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
Originally posted by Varius .....these days lots of affiliates are splitting their traffic between many programs to avoid losing out big if someone screws them.
Interesting point. I bet many of the top promotors out there, are not those on those top100 lists.
Some sponsor wrote me; We have not recieved any signups from you past month. Please tell us, if we can do anything to help.
Hmm...I don't know, I had 1.500 signups for another sites, so I'm not sure what you can do...to help yourself.
Originally posted by Living For Today This is a great thread. And it's going to be interesting to see iwantu and detoxed results.
Be more interesting to know why detoxed thought the thread needed his 2 cents in the first place. Seems like he only joined in as a spoiler. Doesn't the guy have enough sig views already?

If an affiliate stops completely sending traffic to a sponsor, that's because the sponser is not working well for him/her.
However, if an affiliate splits his traffic among his top sponsors, that means he/she is trying to be smart.
On IwantU, we ask our affiliates to send us most of their traffic, but we know that almost no affiliates will send all their traffic like years ago.
Originally posted by {fusion} 5k goes along way in shanghai, they must be pimpin
I thought Shanghai banned ALL porn period and that it is illegal period to sell porn on the net, I think they even censor the news and internet and jailed some people for selling (any type of) porn there. The one peson making over 2k in Ukraine must be making bank too, I read that people make on average a few hundred dollars a month there so that's big pimpin!
The interesting thing too is that a lot of those affiliates promote multiple sites, so when you see an affiliate bringing in $5k on lightspeed, he/she is probably pulling in similar amounts on mulitple sponsors. Many of the people that know how to promote and make coin stick to multiple revenue streams to fall back onto.
Originally posted by Reak '' S.H, China $6,331.45

China?
They both seem to be legit....number 1 there has been consistently in the top 5 for 17 months now. We've monitored his patterns, conversions and chargebacks and nothing fishy...luckily
I was fascinated to see the Lightspeed list when it popped up on their site the other day. Like others, I thought there would be a few more peeps in the above-$1k crew. Steve, please don't take that badly -- it just means your marketing-to-potential-affiliates is working. I look at that list and I see opportunity. "What? If that's all the affiliate promotion those awesome sites are getting, there's still room for me!"
However, I'm not suprised at how few big sponsors publish a similar list. Such lists offer strong hints at gross revenues (although only hints, given the many other streams of revenue a paysite owner is likely to have) and there are lots of good business reasons for a business owner to prefer to keep that sort of info under his hat.
Originally posted by 2HousePlague Why believe what the sponsors tell you, when there are MANY, MANY impartial voices in the marketplace that will tell you who's number one?

So wait -- what you're saying is a 3rd party Webmaster with lots of experience and DATA promoting many different programs is somehow LESS impartial than the sponsor himself? That's absurd.
And personally, I can't think of anybody out there who:
1. Knows what they're talking about, when they talk about program conversions,
AND
2. Would be foolish enough to send ANYBODY traffic without a ref-code.
Most GFYers have somebody's ref-code in their sigs. It's the way endorsements are made here. It's the way GFY personas associate themsleves with the sponsors who've done well by them. Hoes.com is doing that AND substantiating it with stats. The ethics of that look pretty sound to me.
