Is it possible to run a profitable affiliate based dating site without fake profiles and fake emails being sent out from none-existing users?

profitable, probably. Becoming a gazilionaire, no way

The thing is that we're sending dating programs so much traffic... and we could code our own site pretty easy on our own... but it doesn't work out without 1000s of fake profiles and "I want you bad" fake emails from "Melissa down the corner" there's no point in doing it

you should have at least a good part of "real" profiles I guess but I would suggest to ask Lars ;))

Btw we almost send zero traffic to dating sites. 1 of the reasons being the fake profiles and all

No...there's only one real dating website and they don't have an affilate program.

My friend that lives in Hoboken is still hooking up with girls he meets on AFF. They may not be the best looking but they put out.

Easy fix:
1: make 2 sites, a clean non adult that attract women and a standard that get the men to join
2: insert filters so when men send pictures of their cocks, a picture of a cool business man arrive. Important is to remember to switch profile pictures as well
3: when women is sending their replies then instead of a 60 year old mamma you insert nude model pictures
4: for more advanced stuff you do auto search and replace filtering of the messages they exchange.
The downfall may be that if they meet the man will think he is about to get laid by a 20 year old hottie in the backseat of his pickup truck and the old mamma think she met a 30 year old stockbroker and is about to get a romantic dinner in the best restaurant in the city.
The good part is that at that time they have already referred 3 other friends.
The fix: offer them 50% discount doing an instant upgrade, they have seen it works, they where just unlucky

Short answer, NO.

All dating sites, even the big mainstream ones, use fake profiles to get members from free to paid. Every single one of them.

Short answer....I can't do it, but I'm laughing my balls off at the posters above me!

Libertine · 07-02-2008, 04:24 PM

Long answer, YES.

You just have to get a very specific niche (a non-adult one), and only accept quality traffic from a few niche-specific sources.

dev777 · 07-02-2008, 04:29 PM

I know people that have fucked chicks off of AFF and mate1. As for Fling and all those others.. I'm pretty sure those have 99% fake female profiles.

Wrong!

Check out our programs Lover Cash & Gay Dating Cash.

No need for me to get into a long bitchfest about it, but I know we don't have any fake profiles in our system...at least none that we generated with the intentions to fool a member into signing up.

Would we be more successful if we did?
Maybe for a while Yes, but we are in it for the long haul, and would rather develop a real quality product that builds and retains a great member base.

Plus, we focus on niches, we're not competing head to head with those that already paved the way for adult dating sites.
