Adult Trafficking
How slick are those guys at Adult Friend Finder and at ImageCash?
For those who don't know, AFF is one of many sites in the Friend
Finder network of dating sites, which include individual sites
for Spanish-speaking people, seniors looking for love, people of
alternative lifestyles who seek like-minded persons, etc. AFF is
the network's strictly adult site for those who are basically
interested in, for lack of a better term, "hooking up."
So anyway, the AFF affiliate program (along with that of other
sites in the network) is huge to say the least: I see their
links on porn sites all over the place. They pay affiliates, in
one version of the program, just to send click-throughs in their
direction. Think of it as Google Adwords for adult webmasters.
What gets me is that they only pay you , the webmaster , half of
one cent to refer a surfer to their site. Half of a penny! And
that's only per unique IP address. So if a surfer clicks on a
link that leads to their site the first time, even if he clicks
on that same link many more times in a space of - I don't know -
one hour, the webmaster who placed that link only gets his
measly 0.5 cents. Who knows? That unique IP address may remain
such for life...
Now here's where the folks at AFF (specifically) make out like
bandits: if they were to run a pay-per-click advertising
campaign with any reputable online advertising giant - e.g
Google Adwords, sex.com, Overture, MIVA - the minimum they could
expect to spend is 3 cents per click (at sex.com). Moreover,
several of those sites don't guarantee targeted traffic; meaning
that the sites where your ads are displayed are not necessarily
geared towards an adult-minded audience.
Trust me on this one, because I've basically tried (and am still
currently trying) all those PPC advertising sites. The
conversion rates in terms of sales generated per certain number
of clicks are not all they're cracked up to be for many of the
sites.
On the other hand, when an AFF link or banner is placed at an
adult site (because for the most part a webmaster would only
place an AFF advert on his adult site. If he didn't specifically
have an adult-themed
site, it would make more sense for him to
promote one of the other FF sites.), not only is the AFF cost of
advertising much cheaper (half a cent), their traffic is very
much of a targeted, niche variety.
And at this stage in the game, they can pretty much get away
with it. Like I said before, AFF has notoriety on their side.
Webmasters in the porn industry are not allowed to sign up for
the Adsense program (because Google forbids it). So it's pretty
much common knowledge in the industry that AFF (and a couple of
other adult-themed sites in its network) is the place to look to
first if you want to get paid cash for your traffic.
Similarly, ImageCash is an image hosting website that pays you
when a surfer clicks over to their website to view an image
you've uploaded. How will the surfer know what image he's
clicking through to see, you ask? The link is a (most times)
smaller preview version of the actual photo. What you do usually
is post that preview at a message board or on your website.
The issue (I hesitate to say problem because it all depends on
your perspective) is that ImageCash only pays you at the rate of
$1 for 6666 image views (now it is me, or does just the pay
scale itself sound evil and wrong with all of those 6s?). And
that translates to about 0.15 of a cent. That's the bad news.
The good news is that you can host adult images there, and if
your photos are particularly appealing, you can rack up the
image views rather quickly.
The difference between ImageCash and AFF is (I believe) that the
former pays you for every single view of your uploaded photo, no
matter how many times a single viewer may click on the same
preview image. However, much like with AFF, for lack of a
suitable alternative, ImageCash is the most popular way I know
of to get paid cash just for sending traffic (in this case, for
image views).
High volume for low pay: yes, the Walmart model of business
success is alive and well on the net.
