Hmmm I wonder why? AFF is shit. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=FFN

billbailey 08-14-2012 05:17 PM

I wonder if this means they are shutting down the cams.com co-brands too? I'm gonna change over just in case

"As of June 30, the company had outstanding principal debt of $510.7 million."

:helpme

BSleazy 08-14-2012 05:23 PM

Ouch. That's gotta suck for the people that have good se rankings.

versa 08-14-2012 05:27 PM

Amazing how they can be in such debt! How is that even possible?

Tofu 08-14-2012 05:27 PM

Please see sig. We'll leave the light on for you...

TheSquealer 08-14-2012 05:37 PM

As i've always been saying, all you have to do is look at their financials and any reasonable person has to ask "when are my checks going to stop coming".

peterk 08-14-2012 05:50 PM

this sucks balls i was making over $2000 a month from my co brand and it was mostly from se traffic. why they do this? we all lose money now!! :/

moeloubani 08-14-2012 05:56 PM

the best part? they dont really shut them down..they keep them on but redirect the traffic internally, at least that's what my rep told me

They are bringing in 81 million a quarter. Why not put that part in here?

Although they still did lose money. But tell both sides of the story. Im not sure if anyone else where is pulling in 81 million a quarter.

I had AFF co-branded inside Claudia Marie's members area. They shut it down and told me it didn't get enough traffic. LOL

I don't get it. If you are strictly co-branding Adult Friend Finder...then how does it cost them anything for that? They already did the graphics end of it and the thing is up and running.

It didn't cost them one penny for me to have it co-branded in CM's members area. And of course it won't see a ton of traffic...it's MEMBERS AREA traffic. You know, the kind that is ALL people who spend money with credit cards (no freeloaders).

I guess that kind of thing isn't considered "good" anymore?

BIGTYMER 08-14-2012 07:52 PM

Bullshit. Tell me how cobrands cost money?

If all the customers have already spent and are warm leads then yeah who needs that :1orglaugh

I made good money with them while back then they pulled some shit saying if you don't continue sending webmaster referrals you lose your old ones and that was enough for me to switch to Streamate on cams :thumbsup

Are you mistaking their webcam site Cams.Com for AFF?
AFF is their dating site. :)

Very troubling. No warning I could understand if it were strictly for legal reasons but to do it because the board decided to do so and to then redirect the links without credit with no warning at all?

Fat Panda 08-14-2012 09:16 PM

AFF is a fucking joke and only a MORON would promote them but arent co-brands on affiliates own domain names? Meaning affiliates could keep AFF from redirecting traffic. Am I missing something here?

ShoeBox 08-14-2012 09:16 PM

Many of us "morons" have promoted them for the last decade and have a lot of rebill money at stake. (They will shut down your account if you don't send traffic)

I can't speak for others...but the co-brand I had with them was on one of their domains. Mine was just a subdomain on there.

In the end, it's their company. I just don't quite understand how or why they could ever actually LOSE money with a co-brand. At least not one like mine that was sitting in the members area of a paysite and promoting nothing but AFF itself. (not one of their other sites)

Doesn't really matter to me. It just seems kinda dumb on their part.

BAKO 08-14-2012 11:09 PM

U guys suck at the internet's like Paul Markhem. Mine is alive and making bank. Can't wait for the AFF gathering this year. AFF best company ever :) Ballin

who care if you bring in 81 million if it cost you 89 million to make it. making 1$ is better than losing 7 million.

Yes in the statement they basically say the co brands caused $510 million debt so they're shutting down and all will be fine.

Well, they've paid me 7 figures. What should I say?

They have treated me really well.

I did make more with Traffic Cash Gold and iFriends back in the day, but that was a long time ago. AFF has been rock steady for me.

So its OK if they shit all over the little guys as long as you keep getting paid?

rogueteens 08-15-2012 09:07 AM
