Cool interview. Andrew, I hope you don't mind a couple of hardball questions...

1. Have you seen any effect of Myspace & other free services on A. Your Business & B. the overall sector.

2. What is the average retention sitewide on AFF and FF.

3. Which FFI sites retains the longest?

4. What's the ratio of free members to paid?

We always hear stuff about Adult Friend Finder FF but we rarely hear about the other "900" sites in the protfolio we are able to promote. Tell us about them.

Those examples remind me why my husband and I stopped looking... It was way too depressing. Even if you can afford a home, it just seems wrong to pay those prices for such un-impressive houses. When I was younger, that is definetly not what I thought a "million dollar home" would look like!

Ha, these always make me laugh. My parents live in WNY and live on 23 acres for $92k they purchased and would sell for $129k. Only because of the custom work my dad has put into the house ... but he has his Kabota and everything. : )

Well the only problem i see is i went through the 3 window version about 30 times and never got the car on the first guess. Why would that be? Because that would affect the odds.. or did i just not ever guess right on the first try.

The advantage to switching comes from the fact that the game show host doesn't open a door at random, he ALWAYS opens a non-winning door.
That is, if the player picks a door with nothing the game host picks the other door with nothing.
And if the player picks the door with a car, the game host randomly picks either of the two doors with nothing

This means there are three possible scenarios, each with equal probability (1/3):

The player picks empty door number 1. The game host picks the other empty door. Switching will win the car.
The player picks empty door number 2. The game host picks the other empty door. Switching will win the car.
The player picks the car. The game host picks either of the two empty doors. Switching will lose.

Kind of hard to get your mind around that one, but I'll be damned if it isn't right.

i may be an idiot but i think there is a fourth option:

The player picks empty door number 1. The game host picks the other empty door. Switching will win the car.
The player picks empty door number 2. The game host picks the other empty door. Switching will win the car.
The player picks the car. The game host picks one of the two empty doors. Switching will lose.
The player picks the car. The game host picks one of the two empty doors. Switching will lose.

that would make it 50/50

its like the are counting the empty door collectively.

I would have to agree here

You HAVE to consider all the possibilities, even if two of them seem the same (Player picks the car).

Either way, personally I'd always stick with my first guess even if it presents no advantage

Q. Have you seen any effect of Myspace & other free services on A. Your Business & B. the overall sector.

A: Myspace runs a 100% open model where people of all ages can
post most anything. While they have had amazing growth, they have
to rely almost entirely on mainstream advertisers for revenue. Its
similar to TGPs vs paysites - people still pay for paysites because
they don't want to weed through clutter and that service/content/etc
is better. We continue to grow at an incredible rate.

Q: What is the average retention sitewide on AFF and FF.

A: Very high - we have a whole team who's responsible for customer
happiness and retention.

Q: Which FFI sites retains the longest?

A: It really depends on your traffic source. ALT.com has a very long
retention rate because it's a tight niche with many motivated members.
OutPersonals.com is similar for gay men looking to hookup. Retention
is also all about satisfying people - as our sites are so active, members
know that they are getting their money's worth.

We're really excited about the new launch of http://cams.com as it is turning
out to have some of the highest repeat purchase rate measured.
It's definitely a site that gets it revenue out of "life of member"
than all up front.

Q: What's the ratio of free members to paid?

A: It all depends on traffic - some affiliates do 10-20 times better
conversions than others.

Q: We always hear stuff about Adult Friend Finder FF but we rarely hear about the other "900" sites in the protfolio we are able to promote. Tell us about them.

A: Ya, we have about 25 sites for a very wide range of traffic - each
is setup to help affiliates make the most of their traffic source. For example,
many webmasters have lots of chinese, indian, korean, etc traffic that
doesn't convert well. Many of our programs pay for free members to
monetize non-english traffic.

Here's a complete list of sites: https://secure.adultfriendfinder.com...=summary_sites

ALMOST... but at least you know when you buy a house on the "mainland," you also get the land it sits on. Not always the case in HI.

With all respect for everything you have reached to so far but that does not make any mathematical sense. When there are 3 doors there is a 1/3 chance and with 2 doors there is a 1/2 chance.
Playing this game on that website does not give more insight. The programmer might be biased and use the wrong variables.

team. As we contine to bring in additional talent, I expect that my role

One other question: what type of hours do you work? Still 40+ hour weeks, more or less, same hours every day? I know of "newbies" and many successful people in the biz alike that still work tremendous hours (for example, I think Lars works hard, at least it seems so, even though he's already a complete success). In your position, you have the ability to have lots of time off, do you still work 5-7 day weeks?

Andrew works and has worked more than anyone I have ever met, he even works harder than I do and thats hard to do. For many years he would not even go home he slept in the office so he could keep beating on the code to tweak and make it right. Adult friend Finders success is due in large part to the fanatical ammount of time he has devoted to making the company kick ass. He still works 60-80 hours a week !

Playing this game on that website does not give more insight. The programmer might be biased and use the wrong variables.
There is a 1/3 chance that you are right on the first guess.

If you choose door number 1 and could switch to door number 2 and 3 would you take it?

Different game now? No more doors being taken out of the game?
Two doors give a 2/3 chance of winning the car so I would switch from one to two doors any day.
If one door is eliminated though this brings chances back to 1/2.
No need to switch then. I could switch or I could not switch depending on the tone and reputation of the person asking me...example" Are you suuuuuuuure you dont want to switch even though I think you are wrong and wont get anything" yeah..then I would probably switch.
This would not be based on mathematics but on psychology though.

It's actually not a different game. You are getting both doors by switching only one is opened now.

FACT: If you didn't pick the right door then when you switch it will always be behind the door you switch to.

What are the odds that you picked the right door?

I looked it up at wikipedia and I think I get it now on the hand of this example:

Card game experiment
Consider the problem as a card game where the goal is to end up with the ace of spades. Doing this may make the answer easier to understand and provides a way anyone can run a simple experiment. Take three cards including the ace of spades. Shuffle them and deal one to the "player" while you (the "host") keep two. Looking at the two, discard one so long as it is not the ace of spades. Should the player switch? To amplify the effect, do this again using the entire deck. Deal one card to the player while you keep 51 and (looking at the 51) discard 50 so long as none of them is the ace of spades. By switching, the player will nearly always win (51 out of 52 times).

For a more thorough walkthrough of this experiment, consider two players. Player A and Player B take the 13 diamond cards out of a standard deck of cards. The cards are shuffled, and then Player A receives one card face-down and is not permitted to see the card's face. Player B receives the other 12 cards, and he may look at them. Both players are trying to wind up with the ace of diamonds in their hand.

Question: Player A received one card. Player B received twelve cards. What are the chances that the ace is currently in Player B's hand? Answer: Twelve out of thirteen.
Player B has twelve cards and can examine the card faces. At least eleven of them are not the ace. Player B takes out eleven non-ace cards from his hand and lays them down face-up.

Question: Player B did not discard the ace (which he may not even have). No cards have moved from one hand to the other. Therefore, if the ace was in Player B's hand at the beginning, it is still there now. What are the chances that the ace is currently in Player B's hand? Answer: Since the chances depend only on whether or not he originally received the ace, the chances are still twelve out of thirteen.
Player A now has an option: he can stay with the one card he was originally dealt (which he hasn't looked at), or he can switch his hand with Player B's hand, which was originally dealt twelve of the thirteen cards.

Question: If the ace is currently in Player B's hand, Player A will win by switching hands. What are the chances that Player A will win by switching hands? Answer: Since the chances depend only on whether or not Player B originally got the ace, the chances are twelve out of thirteen.

that would make it 50/50

its like the are counting the empty door collectively.
They are counting the empty doors collectively when you pick the door with the car, because the host will only open one door.
The problem with your logic here is that you're counting the player picking the car twice....which is an error because he will only pick the car on the first try one time out of three, not two times out of four.

Basically it's like this....switching only wins if you picked incorrectly the first time. You will pick incorrectly 2/3 of the time, so switching means you will win 2/3 of the time.

If you read my earlier posts you'll see that I wasn't sold on this either, statistics or not, until I came across a logical explanation for why it's true.

If we could just teach gorillas to use credit cards, I'm sure we'd create a site

I'm addicted to this little restaurant a block from the office that

high school cafeteria silverware. So one night, we anonymously
dropped off a crate of silverware for the whole place. Maybe I'm
too much of a micromanager but it's much better eating breakfast
with nice silverware.
