PR WEB - Oct 31 - WhatsYourPrice.com, the dating site where singles can buy and sell first dates, launched its new Affiliate program with ShareASale. Webmasters and publishers will now be able to earn a commission up to 40% of all sales.
FF - Oct 11 - I got an email from MatchLink's affiliate manager. "MatchLink.com,
your online dating program, will soon be terminating its relationship
with Share A Sale....The good news is that MatchLink.com will be back
soon and will
return with a stronger online dating product and a stronger affiliate
offer for you." C'est la vie, and a dozen dud affiliate links.
FF -- Feb 15 -- Does anyone know of any dating affiliate programs that pay out higher
than casual dating sites? The super fast growing dating sites Fling
and SexSearch are topping my research on payouts. SexSearch is paying
out $90 and Fling $50 per paid sign up over Valentines.
Adultfriendfinder is definitely feeling the heat on its tail from these
two. I'm surprised how many dating sites don't have affiliate
programs. Match, eHarmony, Perfectmatch and Yahoo! have good programs,
but many top and second tier players have relatively small programs, if
they have them at all. From the affiliate perspective adult dating
sites just plain convert better, which would partly explain the rise in
popularity of casual dating sites over the last few years. CJ,
Linkshare, Azoogleads, Shareasale, Primary Ads, and Link Connector all
drive significant amounts of traffic to dating sites. CJ seems to have
the most offers. Email me at mark@onlinepersonalswatch.com for a copy of my spreadsheet listing all the dating offer payouts on the top affiliate networks. - Mark Brooks
