AFF's hits vs uniques, wtf? - GoFuckYourself.com

Caffiend · 01-10-2007, 03:20 PM

For the last, maybe two months, I've noticed AdultFriendFinder's uniques being very, very low in comparison to the amount of hits I send them. Usually, hits in are shown to be at least 2-2.5x the amount of uniques. Then, mysteriously, later in the day the hits in are 'adjusted' to be closer in line with the amount of unique hits, but is still off by 25% or so.

This has been confirmed day by day with another site owner, so it's not a completely isolated situation.

Has anyone here noticed this?

I have noticed that the numbers are usually very strange, a lot of the time the raw hits will be double that of the unique hits.

BradM · 01-10-2007, 04:06 PM

Everyone notices this. The question I ask is: Why do people still promote aff when there are clearly better sponsors out there?

Yeah, and they get adjusted down to something much more reasonable looking after two days, every time.

I've personally also noticed a decline in the amount of uniques getting counted, while my traffic is up significantly and I haven't changed my design much at all.

Same conclusion I came to at the end of last year - give others a go folks, make sure no zango first though

That word should be banned round here.

The sad thing is, I have tried other sponsors out, and they simply haven't performed as well as AFF has. That's just even more of a kick in the balls on top of it all, really. If this keeps up until mid-month, and I don't get a real answer as to what the problem is, I'll just put my datinggold or fling links back up and take the earnings hit.

Waveu6410 · 01-10-2007, 04:52 PM

I dropped them weeks ago for all the zango shit and the all mighty attitude that came with it.

Redmanthatcould · 01-10-2007, 04:53 PM

May I refer you to my sig?

Daruma · 01-10-2007, 04:54 PM

they wrote off the webmasters a long time ago with their zango stuff

I can understand not using aff because of the zango thing but your gonna take a cut in your earning because the hit vs uniques are weird? The only number you should be worried about is the one that starts with a $

u-Bob · 01-10-2007, 05:57 PM

Why would you want to support a sponsor that does business (and admitted on GFY that they do business) with Zango (a spyware company)?

octane · 01-10-2007, 06:17 PM

i noticed that too, but i track all my outgoing clicks.. the uniques are fine, it's the raws that are WAY overblown for some reason, then the next day or so it adjusts itself to the true value. so not to worry, but it's weird nonetheless.

Caffiend · 01-11-2007, 04:07 PM

So no word from an AFF rep at all yet? Yesterdays reported raw:uniques 1012:415, todays thus far 770:293.

AFF should be put out of the biz!

Maybe one day they will be charged with some kind of crime?

How shall we do to stop you from stealing a part of our paid traffic and put the income generated by us in your own pocket? ( Zango ) Your pages (AFF) are popping up in front of your competitiors as well now, all over the net, and taking away our income from other sponsors as well! It's not funny any longer!!

And stop that "personal" contact shit as the issues interest all of your affiliates.
We all know that it is only a way of you to stop discussion in public!

Why are reps from AFF out and asking where our (affiliate) traffic come from? Are you investigating new ways to redirect traffic?

This can be the explanation:

A surfer click your link to AFF and the AFF landing page load. You have one hit. But then another page supplied by AFF ( Zango ) cover your landing page without your affiliate code. The surfers cookie is changed. If the surfer enter that page you have only one hit, the rest of the surfers visit goes to AFF. And the income of course.

Arab_Sex · 01-12-2007, 04:15 AM

hey dickhead, why didnt I get " please contact me so we can look at your account"?

Once upon a time, I pushed AFF. And when it came time for me to get my first bundle of cash, My earning went from xxxx.xx to 9 dollars and some change.

I was told they " converted " my account .

Majority of the people creating profiles/purchasing memberships, were members from my forum.

I definetly have proof that AFF ARE A BUNCH OF STEALING SCUM.

Cut your losses and move on, if they dont fuck you right away, they will fuck you later. AND YOU WONT EVEN GET A KISS
