How much does the average company spend obtaining a new webmaster? - GoFuckYourself.com

If you are a manager/owner & allowed to release that information please do.

I'm curious if there is a large difference between obtaining a dating webmaster & a porn webmaster.

If you think you might have an idea on the issue then spit it out, no matter your position!

All i know is it is way cheaper to keep the ones you have happy =)

And that right there is the golen rule of customer service ... too bad not many people follow it. Adult or Non-Adult.

xoxo,
Megan

pr0, what ever they did to get you wasn't enough.

I doubt most companies are professional enough to even know such numbers...

Some companies pay $200 per "active" affiliate....

Let's put it this way; If it cost $25,000.00 to skin the board... then they pay approximately $12,500.00 for two good webmasters. This place is full of morons that couldn't sell a free sandwich to a homeless bum.

Is it worth it? Probably. Those two webmasters will bring it back 5 fold or more... if they get lucky and bring them on board.

dennis you nailed it. almost as good at posting as you are at sports.

the first thing is what the fuck is a "webmaster" exactly.

Kick Ass hired me as a "webmaster" about 4 years ago, which meant I did everything all the time from coding to content processing to designing to management to promotion, etc. if that's your definition of "webmaster" than i think you should drop 50-80k/year depending on the qualification of the candidate.

if your definition of "webmaster" is just someone who keeps your site running, adding content or whatever... then hire a young-kid for $18-25 per hour depending on how good he or she is.

we barely spend anything on advertising and we are doing just fine

Sponsoring parties, skins, magazine advertising, banner advertising, etc.. all can have high cost per acquisition of webmaster when you compute what you spent, over a time period, of how many that signed up.

This is where t3report.com comes in With our own spidering (not relying on alexa, SE scraping, etc).. you can order a t3report on a competitor and we show you the affiliate webmaster domains.

Order a t3report on your own sites and use the Affiliate Analyst tool to help you help your affiliates send more traffic to you, by locating which of their pages as incoming linking traffic that your link isn't on. You can even see the sources of that traffic (ie. the referring website to the affiliate).

Affiliates benefit from t3report from sponsors finding you to promote their program as well as having the affiliate manager be pro-active in helping you maximize the traffic to their program.

Affiliate webmaster should check out the new version 3.0 of t3report.

Currently, all systems are down right now, as I have ripped apart the rack, and upgrading all the servers to AMD quad-processors to keep up with the demand.

All will be good next week. You can go to the website now and enter some domains of interest under Request a quote, and i will get back to you.

To get back to the topic of this thread, so ordering a t3report is a fixed cost (like buying an ad), of which you can then compute your ROI by how many affilaites signup and send traffic.

Everyon's acquisition cost is going to be so different due to how they marketed the affiliate to what program they have, time of year, etc.

Fight the plug!

Pro to be honest I get almost all my webmasters for FREE here on GFY and by word of mouth. Once I get a webmaster sending traffic, they send for life. That is because I treat them right.

Getting and keeping good webmasters is a key ingredient for success!!

As for spending money advertising for webmsters, I prefer to spend my advertising budget on advertising straight to my dating sites. This way I control the traffic. I know its good ect.
