Awesome stats Quiet. Thanks for posting them. Always love seeing them. You've increased your number of members a couple thousand over the past year. NICE JOB!

very cool stats,
most of the people who have gallery setups for their affiliates will just recieve partial traffic (like most affiliates will signup to like 20 sponsors and use all of their gallery links),

I only centralize with 4-5 good sponsors, but i also use a lot of sponsors and only send $3-4k a month

Good work guys!

I did misunderstand and your point is well taken. Good thoughts on diversification, too. :)

Not really.....lots of sponsors (well atleast us), get SE traffic, mailer campaigns, etc...

Affiliates are just one piece :2 cents:

Wish I had 100 active affiliates promoting the Girls of Pineapplepink.... Some day....

bump

Not really!

We send 350 checks per month! and this is only the top 100.
But since it is LIVE, you can estimate how much traffic and money our affiliates are making per hour :)

it dont costs the affiliate ZERO! The affiliate has to pay for hosting, traffic, etc. And the most imporant he spends the time with promoting your sites. If he push you and maked $200/day and could make $300/day with other program, he is losing $100 each day...time is very expensive, because its very limited, so no, its not free to promote you or any other sponsor.

No balls to post your stats thou

I always wonder about that support thing, I can understand that some people only give big site owners a chance because because they don't want to have their sites over promoted that fast but I wonder who really needs support all day?

I never need support beside I loose my pass (that happens once or twice in a lifetime when my comp crashes or whatever).Mostly sales reps bother me as if they were experienced webmasters who could improve anything I can't do.I ask myself what kind of other support a sponsor had to do when they just would ignore the clueless newbies who ask how to make money after signing up and don't get them any money anyway.

not having red X's going to your program in your sig would be a good start....

I bet the smaller affiliates are where most of the support goes. Complaining on the boards because they only got 1 sale out of 500 clicks, claiming missing checks when they haven't reached the minimum payouts etc.

When you think about the cost to advertise on webmaster boards like GFY, booths at conventions, parties & the time to spam the boards &/or put out board drama fires...that's a hell of a lot of paid TGP spots, Adwords etc.

I don't see a red X.

From my experience, we've gained more in a few days giving out cash in a contest, than we've seen from our booth, banners ads on boards (even GFY), sigs or any other method.

The thread gets attention; people ICQ me. I talk with them and usually have no problems convincing them to try us out!

After that, it's upto the numbers :Graucho

Varius
Stiil waiting aproval on ICQ

I don't see any request for auth....try re-requesting please, or give me your number I'll add you.

thanks. what percentage do you pay out to affiliates? 50 or 60% i assume? like i said, i pay out zero. i should do 2.5 Mill for 2004 after all chargebacks, refunds and processor fees this year, all from a single paysite ;)

cheers Shap :)

Right now around 55% of our business is from affiliates. Goes a bit higher during promotions.

Did you see my comment about your processing fees though? It looked around 15% unless I calculated wrong, on your volume you should get much less......

bring your top affiliates to promote www.videopasscash.com as well and we will cut you a monster deal.

i'm currently processing through ibill europe, i can't get into any details here, but the processing fees are significantly higher than the US.

Nice shit, who will post stats next?

That's fantastic! Glad to hear you're figuring out what works best. Hope you snagged some great affiliates. :thumbsup

The 15% is zip compared to the way less scrubing europe offers

Do you have any numbers? I am interested to know about the exact difference between EU scrubing and US scrubing.

Quiet, you're still getting a reserve withheld? I would talk to them about that...

if it makes you feel good, I'm grossing more and netting less than you are :) I've often thought of going to that one site model with darkcavern.com, but fetishbucks.com just has too many assets and too much money in it to kill it. Plus new sites coming out.

I think the potential for millions is higher with a bigger program but the irritations are also multiplied.

Bump

thats me at number 1 and I have'nt worked for 9 months, but I'm back now and gonna kick some ass with lightspeedcash, you guys still rock :thumbsup

P.S I'm number 1 this month too :Graucho

This is a great thread...

We love webmasters that send 5 sales per day...
We have thousands of affiliates and want thousands more!

We welcome all webmasters, large and small to add another revenue stream from Dirty D... Payouts are once a week!

:thumbsup

but you pay a lot to the TGP's, no?

Then post your TOP100 :Graucho

peanuts compared to total income:1orglaugh

Been a while since I checked but USA merchants are forced by visa to have 0.75% charge back ratio while UK based merchants are allowed 2.5% so work your math from that.

Maybe he changed his numbers.

Great attitude. :)

i can post real stats all day long, let's see yours. infact, i'm the only person in this thread that has posted stats from the actual processor.

Anyone else going to post 'em?

works fine here

darkcavern looks seriously great, that site must be doing extremely well. for sure there are pros and cons to both models - regardless, as long as we continue to pad our bank accounts for the inevitable, there is not much to complain about :thumbsup

there are alot of intesting things being said in this thread... bump for some more :thumbsup
