Same here, I'd hate to compare the top 5 on TCG with some of these lists. Granted these are revshare webmasters so they make their money over time compared to what we do.

I hate being the only webmaster in Waterloo.

Sig views? Moron, I guess you missed the thread where AAC donated ALL the money from buying my sig to charity. I didnt get a dime for it. :321GFY

Good point. Our PPS program is new, but by Sept or Oct we should have some numbers to show for that.

In the cases of both Lightspeed and myself...if we were to lie, wouldn't we post higher numbers ?? :1orglaugh

Also, our page is live so if you sit there all day refreshing you'll see numbers change realistically. Would be lots of work to do that all for the sake of showing fake numbers don't you think?

Then again, maybe you guys don't have much else to do over there :2 cents:

This cant be right I must be #1 on every program.

Oooh... defensive. I was speaking in general terms -- not about any of the responding sponsors, in particular, or about (Iwant) U.

Don't mind me hehe I've been getting hit by ICQ messages constantly since yesterday :1orglaugh

nice stats there :Graucho

do you have any top 100? :)

You gotta think though...most programs have 200 or more webmasters pulling in only $100-200 per month...on top of the guys that pull in the real numbers

Hmm, two of the top 3 are from China. Your sites convert well with Chinese traffic :Graucho

I don't want TCG publishing my stats :)
WG

We've just added an option in our stats for affiliates to chose to screen their location from the top100 list. I can understand why some people would have privacy concerns.

Our numbers are honest. We never said we were #1, and we aren't supported by large mailers or other large sponsors --- but I'm not complaining about any of that. I'm very happy having several hundred affiliates sending one or more joins every day.

I'd much rather be in that position than depending on a few select webmasters for my core business. The more spread out the safer for long term business. :thumbsup

WG

Exactly our thoughts as well. Better to have 30 $1000 affiliates than 1 $30K affiliate :thumbsup

To be in top 5 with ars you had to send like 2-2.5k ... DAILY ...

21 Light Speed Cash 17 1:4473 $0.01 5

It's at the bottom :(

Get your affiliates to add our mobile movie theatre with 1000"s of full-lenght movies to thier members area and we will work you a deal.They can be in the VOD businuss and promote thousands of our movies in just 5 minutes without even leaving thier site.

you really need to see what i'm talking about.

You can add a traveling theatre to all your affiliates instantly and we will work you in.

Wanna talk?

I concur


Steve,

it was very cool of you to post the stats

I am looking forward to bring a new country onto the top of that list soon

Fuck off loser. This isnt a spam thread.

I wonder if topbucks and nastydollars will post some stats :) I remember the good old days of CTC. I use to go through peoples stats to find out which sponsors brought in the most money :1orglaugh

I miss the CTC days, was easy money :waaaaahh

Sales? A day? Not true. Not at all

CONGRATS to the TWO sponsors that posted their stats.

Takes big balls to do that.

One thing is to have it on your site, another is to post it on GFY, for many people to critique and play guessing games...

Good job Steve and Varius! :)

A few things to think about however... while guessing away guys...

July is just one month, and not always the best one.

The percentage of sales sent by affiliates differs greatly with each month and with each program. Some depend on affiliates 100%, other have MANY means to get their sales, and so, numbers could be as low as 20% affiliates, 80% other means, etc...

Regarding affiliates:
Another thing is that affiliates split their traffic between several if not MANY different programs, so those making 5k a month, could be very well making that same amount with 10+ other programs. ;)

Just my :2 cents:

Having said that, nice to see PanchoDog up there in the LS affiliate ranks! :D

Going to have to head for number 1, sorry guys, but that spot will be mine very soon :)

Damn good incentive!

Indeed! we send out about 350 checks per month!
And we prefer it this way, than sending 5 checks :)

2,000 to 2,500 ?
Remove 3 zero, and you will get the good number

Our affiliates also asked us to be able to screen their location in the top 100. It should be implemented shortly.

IwantU also supports your program, because you are the only other program that had the balls to show your stats.

Well said :thumbsup

These are actually our live August totals so far though, not July numbers :winkwink:

I don't quite get this. Some people just don't care enough to respond with their top 100 affiliates. Most of them would blow these stats out of the water so what "balls" does it really take?

Nice!!

:thumbsup

NOT even close ... I can imagine

definitly but when you hit a really big affiliate it can be worth 500 + webmasters

not sales ... money made from sales . my bad

Dave shown me stats ... maybe not NOW . Once he had like 8k $ sales (bonus day) and he wasn't even #1

most programs would probably take a lot of programming work to pull out a top 100 list

Lol.... You are clueless... :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

i'm still in awe of how low the numbers are for these guys. no knock at all, and i appreciate the posting of stats. just makes me feel even better about my business model :)

:thumbsup

Hehe, they make much more per month than their affiliates do I'm sure but I was floored as well. Probably 20% of what I expected to see.

But the chances of that one huge webmaster leaving the affiliate program is much greater than 500+ webmasters leaving. I'd rather have the 500+ over the one whale to be honest.

WG

I know my rank and my revenue levels and I'm quite impressed by those top 5 webmasters :)

WG

Lol, someone must have pulled some shit traffic out of their ass!


Steve Lightspeed

I'm on LS's list and I see another portuguese on the first list, that lives REALLY close to me! I want to know who that guy is :helpme

Really interesting numbers, thanks for sharing them with us, I wish more sponsors would do so. :thumbsup

Nice. Ok I see this on top of the list

"Total Payouts: $14,498,614.16"

Is that total since the program has been launched, for this year, for this month?

Launch I presume.

After seeing these numbers I am also in awe. I can't beleive how low they are. I just remember when affiliates where pulling 5 to 6 figures per month. I guess diversification and the saturation of affiliate programs really took a hit on the market. But damn. I am planning on setting up an affiliate program that is invite only. I would want affiliates to pull a minimum of 20 sales per day. Even after seeing these numbers I think it is possible to get larger affiliates as long as the site does not get over exposed in a market. Still these numbers just shocked me.

Steve don't sweat it those are respectable numbers and you have built your program up from the very beginning. You are doing better than lots of people in the industry. Affiliates have so many more options to push these days especially when sites are offering 1,000,000 per 1 dollar trial or 99 cents for 1 year of access lol. So stick with what you do best and keep growing it man. Lets catch up sometime soon.

Just signed up. Any program that offers a "plethora" of sales tools is one worth trying. :thumbsup

Since launch in 1997! This number grows every month though ...;)
