I am not entirely new to this business, I have been running a teen niche paysite for about 6 yrs and I had a couple of solo-girl sites before that. I also have a new solo site coming out in a week or so.
However, when I started a mere 8-ish yrs ago getting affiliates and traffic seemed so much easier than now. I was out of the loop for a jaunt (still keeping my paysite going) and now that I am back full force I am at a little bit of a loss for the best way to build my affiliate base again. I love, love my affiliates who are amazing and some of them have stuck with me for years.
Now, last month my unq ratio was 1:289.0 and according to my records my top affiliate had a unq ratio of 1:291.6 which I hope to improve. Also, my Alexa ranking is improving as well now that I am working this full time.
Of course I need more quality traffic coming through and I know there are so many more talented promoters out there I?m just not sure the best way to reach them.
One thing I absolutely believe is that networking and building good business relationships with stand up people is invaluable and I have already spoken to some incredible people in the business.
What are some of the best ways to gain visibility and let affiliates know I am out here? As an affiliate what do you like to see from sites that you are promoting?
Thanks
