Are you happy with your current dating sponsor?

[Jayvis]

As a company we are always looking to bring on brand new affiliates.

We are also interested in bringing back old affiliates that promoted us months ago and then stopped for whatever reason...

Whether you are new or old, Dating Gold wants the opportunity to earn your traffic.

We're not asking you to switch your current dating sponsors out completely, but rather we'd like to find out what will it take to give us a small test run along side them?

-Need a special PPS rate?
-Need customized solutions?
-Thought about promoting us but just never grabbed your links?

If you are not 100% happy with your current dating sponsor, post here or contact me directly.

We are here to serve you and that means listening to anything you may need... so don't be shy, drop us a line and let us know.

Stats from someone who started pushing us earlier this month. Like any other dating site, you will have instant buyers and those that take 7-14 days to convert which was the case here.

Looks good

[CunningStunt]

Very happy.

Even your stats look poor. I tried you guys for less than a month last year before pulling links.

Here's some figures for a newish AFF account set up last year:

12/22/2010 2187 925 11M, 5F 7 $259.45 $10.80 $0.00 66.5% $179.82
12/23/2010 2317 896 10M, 1F 3 $67.20 $4.25 $0.00 67.8% $48.45
12/24/2010 1439 559 5M, 1F 6 $205.90 $3.00 $0.00 66.3% $138.59
12/25/2010 1520 588 11M, 1F 7 $195.82 $4.55 $0.00 65.0% $130.24
12/26/2010 1885 702 13M, 0F 9 $224.42 $3.65 $0.00 66.2% $151.08
12/27/2010 2139 794 16M, 1F 5 $317.37 $6.05 $0.00 68.5% $221.61

I don't know why affiliates are still fooled by these supposed high payouts per order, the end figure is what matters ultimately.

Post me a screenshot of an affiliate's earnings who's sent you around 8000 members - did they earn $70K?

TOTALS 3669615 1154546 6842M, 1277F 3325 $118804.66 $3546.10 $3163.66 58.6% $69899.55

At a $75 PPS wouldn't 8000 members account for $600k??

You're making $8.75 per member and are happy? Is that it?

I didn't follow what you said (maybe because I don't push dating sites that much).

[Klen]

No,i am not.

[DVTimes]

oi think the problem is now there are a lot of very good free dating sites.

i know one in the uk that is full of real people.

the pay dating sites seem far less effective and too many seem to not have real profiles.

I couldnt agree more with you on the end figure. If you are into revshare, that's how you should do it IMO.
That's great that you're very happy with your current sponsor

Here is one of our top affiliates stats that we've grown each year.

[Jayvis]

Nice stats CunningStunt. I don't think we're going to win everyone over 100%. There is a ton of competition in the dating world and different programs work for different affiliates. Glad to see you're doing well with them

From the looks of your post, I'm not positive that me posting stats is going to get you to try us again which is why I originally asked what it would specifically take for older affiliates who tried us long ago to try us again. If I am wrong, kindly let me know, though. AK and I can post tons of stats but GFY usually doesn't respond well to just stats screen grabs. Is there something specifically that you would like to have or see to do a small test run with us again? If it's just stats you want to see, I can do that... but I think you're pretty happy as you mentioned.

Either way, the feedback is appreciated.

Just a heads up, we have all of those tools. Did you need help navigating to get to them? Just drop me a line.

Some good posts, keep the comments coming. That's why we made this thread.

[Agent 488]

you guys haven't converted for years.

You've tried us randomly over the years and it never converted? I understand that critics are often the loudest on GFY but which part didn't convert well for years? Retention in general? Our CTR on banners? Free to sales? EPC?

Criticism is great, but I was hoping for more constructive comments to go along with it. Thanks for the feedback, though.

I'm happy as fish with (see sig)...

Affiliates usually stop promoting a program for good reason. The best way to keep receiving traffic from affiliates over the long term is to always run an honest high converting program for all of your affiliates. The whales may be nice for the short term but they can be easily enticed to go elsewhere and often do. Or perhaps become too expensive to keep.

Affiliate 1- $10,000 a month * 6 months = $60,000
Affiliate 2- $10,000 a year * 10 years = $100,000

Which affiliate really was a better one to have? Now add 100 - 1000 more affiliate #2's (which are far easier to find than Affiliate #1) and what do you get? Sometimes it seems as if some programs don't understand basic business principles. It pays to respect all of your affiliates at all times. FWIW, there's one program I promoted for 12 years. They never gave me any reason until recently not to promote them.

That's nice, now post the totals for your top 100 or top 50 or even 25. How fast does it roll off? My is do something to attract affiliates. That could be new promotion tools. Offering $100 PPS doesn't mean jack if there are no conversions. Thumb GEO ads loaded with tons of profiles is a thought. Seeing the same girls every time the iframe loads and from site to site doesn't help. Peels don't work well for me. Those pop IMs attract a lot of attention and appear to work even though many use them. Niche tours to a broad list of categories is another thought.

8000 members does not equal 8000 sales.

The DG guys always come over on the boards as decent and reasonable, it's refreshing. Shame I couldn't get my traffic to convert with you though. I'll try again in the new year at some stage.

Thanks man.
Yes, I wish that all traffic work the same but they dont.. I'm still clueless after all these years.
