Promoting AFF in Newspaper
 

Does anyone do this? how much do you pay and what are the returns like?

by "newspaper" you mean SPAM?

ive been thinking about doing this with dating sponsors for a long time but just havent gotten around to experimeting yet

interesting idea

I bet most surfers would just enter the address without your affiliate code. I doubt you would see any ROI :2 cents:

That's why you register a short and snappy dedicated domain name, that has a descriptive landing page/FPA, or a straight redirect to AFF.

A few years ago I tried to convert another dating site (which online kicked ass) in one of the seedier papers that are filled with personals, and the offline to online conversions did not cover the cost of the ads (I think I tried it for 2 or 3 weeks). I believe they were 2x4 ci ads, at a cost of around $100 per week.

Hopefully you do better.

Not the sharpest tool....

Great idea! :P

read some more inspirational quotes before entering business.

*sigh* Yeah let's put the whole referral code in the ad. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Yup. What he said.

And thats why I bet you arent very successful in this biz.

double that

are you trying to say they would not type up http://ww.onlinedatingisfun.com/affi...3h2sg8a2a92d99 ?

My experience too. might take longer then a few weeks to see a good return though.

Well perhaps now that AFF has geo targetting you'd get a better return. People that look at personal ads in the local paper expect to get local results.

:1orglaugh spoken like a true newb...

it might work, let's us know what happens

lol. thanks for the laugh

funny thread

:winkwink:

This works ! I ahve a few people who do this and it makes them money

this is still classic.

umm no i think he means, one of those paper things with words on it.. :thumbsup

damn old threads... they should color code threads... so if they are over a week old they are purple or something

If someone is really thinking of doing this, hit me on ICQ. I have a monthly print magazine that you can out them in.

quoting just for the fun of it :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

It works very well if you understand print advertising... Just placing an ad and crossing your fingers won't work though... :2 cents:
