How much did Penthouse pay for Various, Inc last year? Wasn't it about $500M then too?

Marketing Affiliates. Our marketing affiliates are companies that operate websites that market our services on their websites. These affiliates direct visitor traffic to our websites by using our technology to place banners or links on their websites to one or more of our websites. As of September 30, 2008, we had over 110,000 participants in our marketing affiliate program from which we derive a substantial portion of our new members and approximately 44% of our revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we made payments to marketing affiliates of over $46.4 million.
Interesting to say the least.

Interesting is also the number of 110.000 affiliates- how many webmasters you know who DON'T have an account with AFF, not meaning they're sending traffic but they're registered.

For example I have an account with AFF back from the times when G$ was with them, although I never sent a hit.

"Participating" is a choice of words in the press release

I always wondered how many unique affiliates can be out there, this might be a little clue to have a better idea about the number.

I think it was about $400 million (cash-and-stocks) deal, yeah.

I'm still honored they chose to name that parent company after me though (even if they made a tiny typo)

"FriendFinder plans to use the proceeds of its IPO primarily to pay off debt, according to the filing."

Wow that is some serious dough. Too bad its going towards debt.

They're basically saying that if they don't pay off the short term debt they could go under. WOW.
