Wow, I am actually pretty shocked to hear these complaints. We are currently running a site wide (including affiliates) 1:277 for the last 30 days. I was under the impression that all of the initial integration issues have been addressed and resolved. While we try to stay as active as we can in monitoring our affiliate traffic, it is nearly impossible to know every issue an affiliate may be having.

Before NATS was implemented, our cookie system was much different. We had lifetime LOCKED cookies, which was mostly beneficial to affiliates with large traffic, SEO listings... and even junk traffic could be highly profitable at that time. I know I have had personal conversations with a couple of you that posted in this thread, and we have discussed this issue in depth explaining why your ratios have dropped.

To address the product saturation issue, I would like to point out that while Fleshlight is a highly brand able name... we are nowhere NEAR product/market saturation. As with any other product/site, if you are not acquiring new customers on a consistent basis, then you would be stuck trying to sell the same product to the same customer.

There are many reasons why people buy Fleshlights, and I know for a fact that not every person settles with just one. The very reason our product was invented was out of necessity. (high-risk pregnancy)
The following scenarios are examples of what drives us to expand on a daily basis:

Guys think about sex ALL day
Traveling businessmen need a ?mistress? for the road
Guys turn 18 everyday.
Guys break break-up with their girlfriend/wife/partner everyday.
Guys see the internet for the first time everyday.
Guys go away to the military/college everyday.
Guys get rejected everyday (2am booty calls are not always successful).
Couples look to spice things up everyday.
Long-distance relationships lead to alternative measures.
Guys realize their hand is getting boring everyday.
The cost of hookers adds up after a while.
Fleshlight customers find a reason to add a different Fleshlight to their collection ? everyday

Then there is the Fleshlight customer who uses it, loves it, but because of the opposite for one of the above listed reasons, says goodbye to his Fleshlight. We know that if/when one of the above listed reasons re-occurs, he WILL be back. We strive to make the best, high quality product, and our customers make it a point to let us know.

I have no way of knowing there is a problem unless it is brought to my attention.
Josh does his best to stay on top of the questions on the forums as well as spends a lot of one-on-one time with affiliates to get them everything they need to help increase sales. If you feel that there is some sort of tracking problem, we would be more than happy to show you how to place a test order.

So if there is anyone that is having problems with Fleshlight whatsoever... please let us know and we will do our best to try and resolve the issue.
