Mostly diversification! The majority of successful affiliates these days split their traffic in 2 or 3 top sponsors, instead of one big sponsor (like in the old days).

The same reason sponsors have multiple-processing, affiliates have multiple-sponsors. :)

I send TCG around $1000 a month and I was ranked 201.

I prepay a couple guys 20k/mth and they roughly hit the target every month. My biggest darkcavern referrer does over 5k/wk and I wire him bi-weekly. I pay out close to 6 digits every month.

Making 6 digits/mth from your programs doesn't seem like shit to me though, you don't get financial security until you hit 7 digits or very high 6 digits and that's my goal. At this level I'm still throwing most of the money back into the program via shooting custom content and other persistent bills. It's actually surprising to me to see programs I thought were big ballers and I find out we're outpacing them considerably.

I've always had the sneaking feeling that this gravy train isn't going to last forever and I'm trying to get set 4 a long and luxurious life before it's all over...

Perfectly executed marketing on your site!!

Nice job Dig!!!

amen :glugglug

We plan on throwing everything back into the site/program for the next 6 months or so, to reach the next level and make up for the years we didn't market much at all :glugglug

So when you taking a relaxed beach vacation down here ???
:Graucho

Varius bro, don't all those russian and israeli WMs make you a little nervous? LOL

congrats on a very cool feature tho...*makes note* :Graucho

Nice to see some real numbers out there. I would have thought the lightspeed numbers would have been a bit higher or more guys around the 5k mark but I guess the thousands of small guys doing 100 per month add up.
Class act Steve I bet theres not to many with the balls to post.

Yeah we have to watch them carefullly.....CCBill helps us out in that regard :thumbsup

We also have scripts to monitor various behaviours that will alert us to fraud.

So far we've been lucky having some great Russian and Chinese "legit" affiliates.

I'm only fully relaxed when I'm home working, I don't really do vacations lol, as far as I'm concerned being self-employed has been an 8 yr vacation for me from the real world of wage-slaving and daily despair. I'm 38, I remember what it's like to work a REAL job for a living ;)

For you guys that are making real money: Do you think you could ever go back to working a regular job for a normal salary if you had to? I'm not sure I could. I don't know what I'd do, but I don't think I could handle working all week for an amount of money I now make in one night. While I'm asleep.

But TCG has huge accounts like other paysites promoting them on their exits and sending huge sales and that's why it's so hard to move up their webmaster rankings. I just started to promote them very recently and am only ranked 161... It's very hard to move up their ranks, and on bad days when I have no sales my ranking goes up even higher...

Sometimes you'd be surprised who's got traffic and who doesn't. I've been the sole cross-sell on some sites for programs I thought were HUGE and been surprised at how few sales were coming across from their join page. I've had guys I've never heard of open up accounts and scare the shit out of me with the number of joins they send all of a sudden.

A lot of the more well known programs are basically nothing more than fronts for a huge spam factory and they don't rely as much as you would think on normal linked webmaster traffic, all their sales come in big surges according to how much and how often they're mailing and how well their network runs for as long as they can keep it alive.

- NOTE I am speaking in general and not about TCG

Ive been acussed of being a cheater twice now because of this Ive signed up sent say 50 sales in a few days and been ask where in the fuck I get my traffic.

It all depends how much traffic you send to get 50 signups!

anytime you're gonna be sending over say.. 15 joins daily it's a good idea to say hello to the webmaster and clarify the rules before you start sending.

I normaly do but when you tell them you can send good traffic its like hey yeah Ive herd that before then once you start sending they freak out.

Send 50 signups our way. I garantee you we won't freak out :) :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

We're ranked at #76 at TCG and that's about 3k-3.5k$ a month.

Ive allways done shit with dating sites but then Ive never really made a site just for that as well.

These guys ROCK :thumbsup


NOTE : Revshare program....and believe me their Rebills are better than most programs... i am sure these top 10 will make about 1.5 times more next month :winkwink:

Congrats Steve for posting this :)

I'll post TotemCash's top 100 webmasters earnings when I'll hit the office today.

I think so too, but the numbers posted here are still impressive

haha that exactly what im thinking

I was sarcastic idiot ...

Continue to whore tcg in your sig, i hope they dont pay you per post , becauz they get scammed by you

next

I would LOVE to see the top100 for clickcash :)

Great thread! Even though the low amounts are shocking - it seems to me that most people are spending all their time posting on GFY instead of thinking new ideas to make more money

A shame there isn't more programs posting their top1000 in this thread..

bump

:warning

that's good to hear. :Graucho

good thread

cool :)

Just posted TotemCash top100 in this thread:
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...adid=346155&s=

I'm really surprised at LightSpeed's list... my biggest webmaster referral with another program would put me in their top10 :helpme

Yeah all sponsors should have a top 100 :thumbsup with ratios. I loved the CTC days if anyone remembers them :glugglug Easy way to see people stats and learn whichs ones convert

That must be one nice webmaster to have under your account

i want more stats

BTW I forgot to mention this is just payouts for the new SkinTraffic system which has only been up since May. Doesnt include those still getting old ccbill revenues. So rebills arent stacked up yet.

Like many others, I am shocked by how low these numbers are. I'm a bigger fish than I thought I was.

I divide my traffic among many different sponsors. My biggest one pays me about $2,700 per month.

I'd love to know where I rank among affiliates in the various sponsors I promote.

whats shocking about it? the avg affiliate will not get over 10 sales in a period.. i shit you not.

thats for half a month?

ha.

If you've never set up an affiliate program before then the odds of you accomplishing this in the current day and age are minimal. Try getting affiliates sending you 5 sales a day.

For 1, you'd need to have a PPS, and 2, you'd need some experience before giving out PPS, which sounds like you don't have yet.

You can' beat this gig. It's 11 am and I'm still in my still in my pj's. The ONLY advantage of a real job working for someone else is that there's a little more human interaction, but that's it. I love what I do, and I remind myself of that every day. I spent 20 years working for The Man, and I don't miss it at all.

ICQ me, I will hook you up!

Amen brother.

These folks that keep telling how "shocked" they are are annoying, or those who repeat over and over how they "expected" more

What's so shocking about refreshingly honest sponsors that have a well sized business going?

I feel encouraged to use all sponsors that posted these stats and in fact I am already or going to send traffic to all of these

Very interesting thread, I would love to see Silver Cash, Top Bucks and Traffic Cash Gold. But I believe Nasty Dollar has the biggest numbers.

That sucks, they should have tracking on their end to prevent them from having to ask those kinds of questions. Sorry to hear that. :(

I said this a week ago and everyone said it was a bad idea and it was noones business.
Now everyones doing it


:321GFY :321GFY :321GFY

Most sponsors want to look bigger than they are, that's why they're shy of posting their numbers ;)
