Holy fuck I just checked my Fling stats
 

free 1:106 paid 1:4030 what the hell?

you should try mainstream dating sponsors for US traffic.. should convert around 1:15 or better for free, and you'll get paid $3+

Ref link????

ouch that sucks

Try me on ICQ.

try copeac.com, they have a bunch from all the majors, True, Singlesnet, eHarmony.

A few here too:

yah, rumor has it fling has flooded their free members area with a tonne of upsells to different paysites... most fling memberships dont convert to paid as well as they used to

Yeah... Stop using FLING!!!

Please....take your traffic else where.

Try LionDollars $1 full access surfer trials paying up to $40 PPS.

;-)

Can anyone else confirm this?

Fling has 3 paid product in their free members area: fling chat with cams ( this is what they count as a paid join ), naked.com and premium cams, I don´t think they pay wms for the last 2...I might be wrong, but chances of converting a free to paid are 1/3 now :(

This should be easy to confirm as its free...so if no one does by later today i'll do it myself and post back. I was going to switch all my dating links over to fling soon but not if this is the case.

keep us posted :) :thumbsup

any news on the members area? I think I am about to pull the plug on fling.

Please...pull the plug


Thanks :)

my flings ..

Give Loaded Cash a try in my sig. :thumbsup

I still haven't gotten around to doing it but it looks like the post above mine answered the question. 2 upsells in the free. There shouldn't be any at all that don't lead to a $35 for the affiliate. Upsells are for paid members areas.

what a pain in the ass, just spent ages replacing aff with fling ...now i find this out.

Why does this kind of thing make such a small impact on gfy and why are not more people pissed off by this kind of thing?

Yeah. I'm in Your downline. I have some 1:4000 paid signups with fling and only 1 sale so far (3 months) on one site I don't care that much. But 40$ for 1$ sign-up is way better

Yeah Fling really sucks.

I love how every time someone starts making less money it's someone else's fault. My free to paid ratio is so steady you could almost set your watch by it.

You don't know if they pay you for the other upsells or not.

My guess is that they do. It would explain why they beat the living shit out of every other dating sponsor I've ever tried by a HUGE margin.

Signed up for a free account awhile ago... They upsell to Naked.com, Bangbros, and Nastydollars at discounted price

A lot of dating sponsors upsell and that's why they are able ti afford the $35 signups and $100 promos...

It's good I've read this thread before trying them.

I upsell to FLing.. I couldn't give a shit what they do after that.

I just recently dropped fling. They are fucking retards. Their horrible customer service is what lost them the porn moguls sales. I also noticed their sales started converting much less so I dropped them.

see dating gold sig

My fling conversions increase every pay period.

$900 for 23k hits?

that sucks IMO

Hmm, I wish i knew. I'm looking to send my dating traffic somewhere and fling was my number one pick until i read this.

FREE - 1:29 - 211 signups
Paid - 1:249 - 25 signups

6,200 hits.


Not a lot compared to some but pretty decent.

Its no mystery that fling is going downhill..... how much is the paid user worth to fling?

around $200 (rebills + upsells)

how much do they pay you out of that?

$35

Double that in todays market and it would be "reasonable".

you can contact me to see what your options are.
we pay per free, per sale or rev share.

try loadedcash please... check out my sig

I have fling on a google adwords thing, and right now, I am 1:11 free, but no sales. Nothing major as the campaign just started, but I have 80 uniques

If I dont start to see ROI by about 300 uniques, I will switch the companies.

they actually don't pay you for the members upsells... like someone else mentioned they have banners/text links for bangbros and nastydollars with their linking code it in...

Yeah I know...

it is just downhill now it seems

6 months ago I ran two se ppc campaigns:
ppccamp 333 53 6 $210.00 1:6 1:56
ppccamp2 659 73 11 $385.00 1:9 1:60

That's how stats should look... now it's not really doing it for me anymore...

Also try something new thats converting amazing and paying $60 PPS

Hit me on ICQ, thanks.

Fling sucks for me as well, Free/Paid Joins Ratio: 1:35

Are you talking about paid or free memberships though? I couldn't care less about upsells once i've got my $35 commission but upsells that i don't get credit for even before i make a dime from them sucks.

im talking about free... i signed up for a free account... and those were the upsells... they also have a new webcam site that they upsell called naked.com ... webmasters dont make money on any of those

It's not just them, its all over the board, paid adult dating is DEAD thanks to facebook, myspace etc

I disagree. Myspace is losing popularity and facebook is all about people you already know. Conversions would be better if sites didn't have upsells and leaks all over the place.

Nevermind, fuck this site. Added to few my pages and iframe was blank for some time, guess they were down. And yes, in content page it was blank too...

The problem is that upsells are in the free members area which reduces chances to 1 in 4 of getting a paid signup ( unless they are paying those upsells to naked.com, the cams, etc which I don´t know ), then in the paid members area they have other upsells..... =(

Thanks thricer :thumbsup - I'm here if you have any questions on Loaded Cash

datinggold is the real deal:thumbsup
