Casual Dating Affiliate Payouts Top The Industry

OPW -- 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.

We've been paying $65+ payouts, and on high converting traffic too. Rev share still works out more profitable for most people.

It is true though that generally speaking "casual encounter" type sites have higher conversions and higher per payment payouts.

"Casual" is definitely the way to go to generate the most money - and acquisition cost can be minimised if people cross-sell members from their general dating site to a casual dating site.

In some cases we've seen 30% of members of a casual site convert to paying members if they've come from a general site.

More and more people are setting up niche sites on a white label platform so they can easily cross-sell from their one site to half a dozen different niche sites.

Britishsexcontacts are also currently paying out vey highly at the moment upto 70% revenue share not too shabby
