Another quick affiliate program question - GoFuckYourself.com

LightscapeMedia · 12-07-2013, 12:06 PM

* Do you think surfers will ever figure out that they can basically get half off the membership dues by joining your affiliate program and then signing up through their own link?

* What percentage would you suspect already do this?

* Do you ever worry that surfers may be joining your affiliate program just to get all the free content you offer without ever joining?

I think that's a longer shot that just go to a random tube-site or a torrent-site.

This happens to almost any program, I remember couple of them posting about that.

Too much hassle, minimum payouts and so on. Plus you would need different name, probably IP. Might happen, but too rarely to worry.

minimum payout usually prevent this which is one reason why its in place despite affiliates hating it and thinking its a scam

Unless surfer plans to rebill for months, than it would be bypassed and also money saved from his perspective.

I think that maybe .05% of all your subscriptions may be a surfer that signed up to your affiliate program and subscribed with his own link.
Regarding your promotion content. You can check if they have a legit adult website before you let them access your content.

That's what I do.
