How much are you playing flat rate per lead for mobile and desktop traffic?

This up to bullshit is stupid, no real affiliate does it without being told upfront how much he or she is going to be paid.

Hey KillerK, right now in our system we have more than 380 offers: we have different sites, for different countries, and currencies of payout, so it all adds up. Each offer's rate depends on these three things. So it's hard in one given forum post to tell people all rates upfront, since the number you need to know really depends on what you're looking for and your traffic.

Anyway, right here http://affiliates.cupid.com/offers/programs on the website anyone can find the list of our public offers and public rates for them. They are public in the sense that they imply an average conversion, and with new affiliates we usually start tests on these rates. However, if affiliate's traffic conversion is higher than the one public rate implies, we can set a higher private rate just for him/her.

Hope this helps

Is Cupid and CupidMedia the same?

[PSD]

Oh, my bad, looks like they are different.

[EddyTheDog]

A quick question - The offers are pretty specific and you get a link for each one - So it could be US traffic only for example - If a UK surfer enters via that link is that traffic counted in any way or do we have to carefully Geo-Target the traffic?

Is there a way to send any traffic and you direct it to the highest converting relevant offer?

[john1975]

1. PAY-PER-LEAD. A partner will get up to $7 for every FREE signup. The better your traffic converts, the higher rate you get!

almost nobody offers this these days anymore. What is required, just a confirmed email addy ? Our traffic is good, google keyword type traffic....but I could see how something like this could be easily abused.

either way, it's cool u guys are offering it. might sign up.

If you click on the offer
"4% conversion rate from lead to sale is required for this offer. Promoting our Offers you get commission for every lead (except PayPerSale Offer) according to the conversion rate stated in the offer.Keep in mind that if your traffic conversion rate is lower than specified in the offer we won't accept your traffic and will suspend the payments. Please contact your dedicated manager for more information and further coordination."

That isnt bad but with some pretty high payouts pay per sale, i would prob go with pps vs ppl.

[faxxaff]

I just looked at your affiliate TOS and it states that you do NOT accept adult traffic. Please, be so kind to revise and change your TOS if you would like adult affiliates to signup.

Eddy,

You would need a link for each country and geo-target your traffic strictly.

And you would need to pick an offer on your own and send your traffic there. Unfortunately, we can't do such automatic redirect you're talking about. Can any of the industry players do that?

Its a bit of a pain having to geo-redirect all traffic to loads of different URLs - AFAIK you redirect the traffic if I send it to the wrong countries page - Its a shame you can't find a way of counting that traffic...

Crak who also have many GEO type offers do have a URL you can send traffic to that sends it to the best converting offer for the surfers country.

Hey john1975, thanks for your interest! Yes, in case with PPL offers on the web we pay for each confirmed registration (DOI). For mobile it's SOI though. We usually start tests with new affiliates on public rates with 100 leads per day cap but after a 5-6-day test if your traffic is really good we can offer you relevant higher commission.

Just keep in mind the moment that Iron Fist pointed out below: we have a 4% lead2sale conversion requirement (2% for mobile) for all lead offers. If it's below 4% but still positive we'll adjust the payout accordingly, but if the conversion rate is 0% we can't pay for such traffic. So there's risk but with the right traffic you can make these offers work and earn good money.

If you do decide to try the offers out please contact me and I'll introduce you to one of our AMs. You have to talk to your AM before you start sending traffic.

Hey Iron Fist, HasOffers platform has been slow recently. But we've contacted them and they're fixing the problem.

Please let me know if you decide to launch a test, since I need to introduce you to one of our AMs. You need to talk to your AM before you start sending traffic.

Thanks for your advice, EddyTheDog! I'll speak to my team about this. Hopefully, we can push this improvement through, so it'll help our affiliates.

Crakrevenue's platform can do that. You should talk to them and see about working a deal to get your program in their network to maximize your incoming traffic.

Thanks, lazycash! I'll email Nick.

Probably worth pointing out that Cupid PLC support piracy related affiliates.

Just look at those offers on PlanetSuzy and Vintage-Erotica-Forum.com



Advertised as Facebook of Sex and other things, then redirecting to askmecca.com, then redirecting to enoratraffic.com, then redirecting to bangmedia.go2cloud.org, then ending up at yougetlaid.com finally taking the surfer to flirt.com or other Cupid properties.

My email to Cupid about piracy resulted in a canned reply providing me with an email address to which to send offers if I wanted to become a partner or offer traffic. (fail)

[Feng-PD]

sig time!

[AdultKing]

Well that certainly shut Cupid PLC up.

Perhaps once we start putting pressure on their merchant accounts they might feel inclined to speak to us.

Hi AdultKing,

I don't quite understand what you mean by "piracy related affiliates". Your clarification would help.

Anyway, if there is an affiliate of ours that is using prohibited techniques could you please send us (you can PM me here) the affiliate link (for us to figure out who the person is)? We'll take a look at his methods and cut the traffic if the violations have taken place indeed.

Thanks,
Alex

What the fuck man?! Are you fucking retarded? Either you are talking about direct buys or the site specifically placing the ads to monetize their own traffic, or you are talking about whatever ad network those sites are using to display ads (exoclick), which has little to nothing to do with the affiliate. Pull your fucking head out of your ass, do your homework and understand what you are talking about before you start making threats.

If you want support in your crusade, there is a way to act and a way not to act.

[Cupid plc]
