Discuss what's fucking going on, and which programs are best and worst. One-time "program" announcements from "established" webmasters are allowed. |

what is the appeal of fly by night johnny come lately programs?
Serious biz questions...
What is the appeal of new programs that have nothing new to offer, no corporate accountability, and nothing to show other than a few anons giving them the "thumbs up"? How many times do webmasters need to be taken before they realize how to actually perform due diligence on the companies that they choose to promote? What are the best warning signs that a company, either new or longtime established, is falling apart? When should any halfway intelligent webmaster jump the ship and surf to another program?

Better conversions for a period of time. Easier to obtain traffic for the lazy.

Valid. But how many new niches are there really? For example, the Dancing Bear style stuff where one male stripper is getting worked by a bunch of women in a club - I get that as a micro-niche and see where that would be catchy... but on the other hand... how much difference is there really in another anal euro teen or brazilian anal site? Am I the only one who thinks all that stuff looks the same and is completely ubiquitous to the fans?

Well, you are one of the few people I know who could actually do this sort of due diligence on a company, not just because you run a dev/software company but because you actually have the connections to get backgrounds on an area that most companies keep very close to the vest... any advice for those not in your position?

Ok, I get that from the SE perspective in terms of marketing the site... but does a surfer really care if the site is brazilianasssluts.com or assslutbrazilians.com once they have hit the site or is the sign up more about how hot or not the models are on the tour... and unless we are talking about a PPS prog then having some sort of compelling reason to rebill is key.

you can always ask them to do something custom like a custom join page, if they can do that they either have the correct knowledge or have a good programing staff that can whip it out fast. but thats just some suggestions as i have seen good companies that break those guidelines.

Simple, this is a business full of dysfunctional, anti social people who thrive on swimming against the current of common sense and good business sense.

In any event, I had this dream, totally absurd and unattainable, that hopefully by inspiring the kind of feedback here that can actually improve the knowledge base that we might improve the program/affiliate relationship which results in more profitability for the worthy, those that actually want to attain some measure of success beyond the luck of a few bucks to afford buying beers. Crazy? I know, but I can dream can't I?

As an homage to your profile pic... as Marc Anthony might have said himself... a bunch of sisyphean wannabees instead of a bunch of herculean profit earners.

The onus is on the program owners to spread the truth of the matter, but instead it was always easier to just keep spreading the lie. Quote:

I agree too that any program can shave regardless of boxed solution, gateway/processor etc. Anyone that thinks otherwise is simply delusional. (waiting for the usual response - someone to say it is impossible for anyone to shave CCbill revshare...) This also illuminates another conundrum - affiliates that think they are ready to run programs and programs that think they are ready to drop affiliates. Certainly there are great examples of affiliates that do start up successful programs, Bangbros is the best that comes first to mind, or on the other side of the fence Mac&Bumble, but for every one of those success stories, there are over ten times the failures.
