				Reasons Why Affiliate Programs Close Down?
			 This thread will be an interesting one.  What is your opinion on why affiliate programs close doors? Here is what i think : 1) Many who start affiliate programs, dont have business experience, degrees or a serious business plan. 2) Some, who start affiliate programs dont think of it as a long term business instead short get rich quick mentality. 3) Many dont have a monthly budget projection or analysis and just spend random. 4) Many new affiliate programs try to compete with companies who have been in business for more than 3 years thinking they can match their offering on commissions and payouts. For instance, many inexperienced new affiliate program owners have no idea on how to be profitable but yet offer high $35 pay per sign up on trials. I personally think instead of all these new affiliate programs opening up and eventually closing doors, should just work with companies like SilverCash, TopBucks, PlatinumBucks, AdultLounge, SmashBucks, LightSpeed or others who have a long term business plan. Folks, its not easy to operate a successful affiliate program. Companies like i have mentioned above have experience, quality content, in house staff, funding, and much more....You are better off sending your traffic to them rather than starting your own. Think about it. You can be 50/50 partners with pros...just my 2 cents. There are more reasons but i think i will leave it to see who can fill in the rest and continue from here. Post along please :-) this thread will be interesting, educational and informative.

				 | I know of many newbies that jump in making paysites without ever learning any of the basics of porn (hell some host with companies that don't accept adult content) You can't expect those people to succeed. The lack of money management is a big one too. |

				 | 1) Undercapitalization 2) General incompetence 3) Thinking that all you need to do is slap together processing and a lame members area, buy some ads on WM boards and then assuming everyone will drop what they're doing and divert all their traffic to your crappy sites

				 | Nothing orginal. Paying on free trials. If you plan to pay on free trials like purecash did. Then you need 90% of the free trials to convert into full to make $$$ If you give them a free trial They see the same old shit, are they going to buy?

				 | what I dont understand is why people think becuase a company closes down that people are bad buisnessmen.There are tons of people in the game for the short term goal of getting the money while its good and moving on to other things |

				 | There are many more great programs out there than the ones you listed.   If your trying to scare anyone you've failed.  What decent sized programs have closed down recently?  fuck all I can think of.  Only Purecash.com recently.  New programs come out all the time and most big ones do well. I certainly know the numbers well for Wildcash.com and can handle paying $25-30 on $1 trials all day long. |

				 | its all about starting slow, putting enough in the bank for unforseen expenses and then putting it back into the business on a well thought out budget.  Long term goals with monthly milestones. Smart investments etc. But you're right.. too many people copy the big programs without building a solid foundation first. Duke

 and i presume this ridiculously pompous post is regarding WEG's announcement that Purecash is being shut down. You ain't fit to shine the shoes of either WEG or Purecash. Purecash shut down because one of the partners who could buy and sell you 100 times over wanted out of adult altogether. that's the end of that story. if i were Lensman i'd ban you - you and your content company do nothing but spam this board day and night. buy a fucking banner - if you're such a hot program where's your banner? Hmmm..........Silvecash skinned this board, Platinum Bucks skinned this board, Lightspeed has had a banner as long as I've been here, TopBucks the same - oh gee I wonder who's missing from that list of top notch programs you refer to - could it be - oh .......Adult Lounge?

				 | traffic is key.. you cannot just sit your ass down and make a fly by paysite and members area.. you have to have understanding of how traffic flows and best of all how to build traffic yourselfs...  remember even with 50/50 revshare you are still giving away half your income - so any sigups you generate yourself will help the business.. I think many new paysite owners forget that... and just try and concentrate on getting joe-no-insite-to-adult to send them traffic..
