I think he's talking about company revenue, not affiliate profits.

But yea, I'm interested in what the biggest companies in adult are making too.

Gross Rev..

A 150m a year net profit would be one seriously huge porn company.

182 millon a year ? Come on:disgust For an affiliate ? Get serious here :pimp

You could not have picked a better time.

I have never worked for, but have consulted with and been courted by a few of the larger mainstream CPA networks. Some are better than others, but Clickbooth was by FAR the worst. They seriously bring kids off the street at 30k base, run them through a breif training course and then push them on to the floor. These are your "account managers".


You're also right about mainstream. Because they aren't coined the "dark side" the perception is they run things cleaner than the adult end of the market, but nothing can be further from the truth. Honestly I think in adult we are more innovative with affiliate program features, ad tools, etc. and mainstream leads the space when it comes to shady billing practices like prechecked cross sells and continuity offers, etc. They did it first, they did it "best".

In the mainstream rebill space the advertisers try to defraud the networks and customers, the networks try to steal the affiliate's traffic sources and the affiliates break all the FTC advertising rules.

Things seem like they've calmed down a bit since 2008 and 2009, but I won't touch that shit with a 10 foot pole. You can still gross over $1m a month in mainstream without rebill offers.

Quite frankly 2257 was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I bailed on adult and never looked back.

Juggcash :))

I always hear those kinds of numbers thrown around. My guess is that there are less than a hundred guys worldwide making that kind of money. And they are NOT a single guy with a computer.

Have you ever made over $1,000,000 a month without rebills in "mainstream"?

By the way...people saying "mainstream" is pretty disingenuous in and of itself. It really should be broken down into actual industries.

For instance, a guy who is an affiliate of "ShamWow" would have to sell a lot of that to equal ONE sell of a big RV.

Put it on an equal playing field and one guy working on a computer in his bedroom can make over a million dollars a year in adult. You can't say the same for mainstream. Not saying that nobody ever has in mainstream...but I personally know lots of guys who have in adult. Hell, I'm typing this on the computer in my bedroom right now. :winkwink:

no one is making any money

newbies should exit stage left :)

Nastydollars?

um maybe ask those affiliates which of them have a highest earnings :)

Very huge :thumbsup:thumbsup

LOL! Robbie i am not blowing smoke up your ass. I am in the traffic selling business and have been for the last 11 years. Many of these guys buy traffic from me for various different projects and that is why i know them. They buy big and they buy fast!

You can revoke my bro card if i'm lying :1orglaugh

It's plenty of fish, he earned over a million in one month.

I make around $800 a month on some old sites that a barely even use. It's not hard to make money if you work smart and hard.

It's been a long time since he worked off comission. Someone here might be able to tell me I'm wrong, but from what I understand it's all ad space and traffic buys. Not really an affiliate relationship.

I don't see the difficulty in getting a rough picture od earnings based on traffic....

If you value a click at $0.04 you can see a websites ranking and get a rough estimate of traffic and therefore how much money it can make by monitorising the traffic.

There is a lot of money in porn when every click is worth at least $0.04...

Id put money on it being an herbal webmaster

It what adwords that he made the money from now he does affiliate marketing for AdultfriendFinder but I have no idea how much he makes from that.

says the girl who works for a company who had a dating site (eroticy) that was
an epic failure.

I guess the one in my sign :)

I will give you a two hints. He is in this thread. He is Canadian.

I heard he's going to sell a shit load of ad space to Swurve :upsidedow

Dam I am seriously slackin hahaha.

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
