As an affiliate of over 300 programs out there...I can honestly say that I'm sending plenty of damn good REAL traffic. But can't make a sale to save my soul these days.
And yet...claudia-marie.com is kicking ass.
We did 33 new joins on March 1st for instance. No trials there either as we don't offer trial memberships. Of those 33 only 5 were from affiliates. 28 of them were type ins (my favorite)
Congrats to all the freesites out there who thought that educating the surfer would set them apart and earn them some kind of "trust"
I already had their trust on Grampland.Com from years of giving them the best links with no popups. Too bad they all know what affiliate programs are and how they work now. Kinda took the marketing strategy of "being a nice guy delivering free porn" away from me and handed it to....torrent sites and illegit tube sites.
Nice job guys!  |
Robbie, you trying to turn this into a drama thread? :-)
I gotta disagree with you a bit here. Freesites means review sites, right? Review sites don't tell people about affiliate programs and if they did, I don't think the surfer would care. They just want to see porn.
Are you saying a surfer sees a site from a link and they go "Hey, I saw a review site once that told me about these free sites and how people make money when I sign up for a site that they referred me to but I want to make sure no one but the site owner makes any money from me so I'm going to re-type this web-address in"?
