I figured that a sponsor topic might be a good one, hehe Jun 05 14:02:43 Willy!!! Jun 05 14:02:49 <[NM]thepez>I'm a newbie and I know nothing about sponsors Jun 05 14:03:06 well maybe we can shead alittle light on it, lol Jun 05 14:03:08 do you run pointzero too [NM]thepez? Jun 05 14:03:14 <[NM]thepez>tia> yes Jun 05 14:03:29 you do very nice work Jun 05 14:03:36 <[NM]thepez>thank you Jun 05 14:04:05 Sounds like a good topic to] me Frank Jun 05 14:04:07 <[NM]thepez>So sponsors.. what do they want? Jun 05 14:04:29 they want your traffic, and your signups and are willing to give you a percentage of the signups Jun 05 14:04:34 "Sponsors...why dont they just give us the money?" LOL Jun 05 14:04:43 hiya Willy :) Jun 05 14:04:49 <[NM]thepez>so like re-directed traffic? Jun 05 14:04:50 Hello Ron :-) Jun 05 14:05:02 no.. it's like being a salesman for a big company Jun 05 14:05:07 lassiter.. I think that would defeat their purpose! Jun 05 14:05:07 you get a percentage of sales Jun 05 14:05:27 <[NM]thepez>percentage of sales if a user comes through my site and signs up on theirs? Jun 05 14:05:32 yep, yoJun 05 14:16:13 that sometimes can be by taking the $900 signups, exit traffic, or various things such as that... Jun 05 14:16:18 good stats! Jun 05 14:16:57 I myself look for sponsors that have a good tour.. and one other thing I look for are the out of the way sponsors with very targeted niche content.. but that's me Jun 05 14:16:57 . Jun 05 14:17:01 ---Kandi is now known as kandi Jun 05 14:17:06 whas it something i said lol Jun 05 14:17:09 shute Jun 05 14:17:16 i best get back to it Jun 05 14:17:18 but some sponsors don't give credit for 900 sales or online checks etc right? what is basic criteria for a good sponsor Jun 05 14:17:19 well, usually if you ask about a sponsor and someone has had problems they will tell you. Personally I only worry about signing up with newer sponsors. Jun 05 14:17:19 ---kandi is now known as kandi_mltitsk Jun 05 14:17:53 then... when I do try out a new sponsor I only do a few sample sites for them and test the water alittle before I plung in, lol Jun 05 14:18:03 <[NM]thepez>Are all sponsors US based? Jun 05 14:18:15 Most are yes, but not all. Jun 05 14:18:16 I usually figure if they use a billing company that the odds are that I'll get what's coming to me.. I don't care for sponsors that do their own billing Jun 05 14:18:26 la la la Jun 05 14:18:30 hi everyone ! Jun 05 14:18:35 *Relik waves to all Jun 05 14:18:35 hiya Relik! Jun 05 14:18:38 Frank: I presume you have enough traffic into your network of sites that you can tell with just a few sites how well they're gonna do? Jun 05 14:18:43 hi Relik Jun 05 14:18:44 tia =)) Jun 05 14:18:47 <[NM]thepez>Sponsors shouldn't have a problem with payment with Canada right? Jun 05 14:18:51 sup Frank =)! Jun 05 14:19:03 hello Relik Jun 05 14:19:12 my buddy willy =)) hi Jun 05 14:19:35 It's a bit harder when yer first building up sites and links and traffic. Jun 05 14:19:36 what type of sites do you have in mind to build [NM]thepez? Jun 05 14:19:41 yes lassiter, that plus I know how my traffic converts so I expect a certain level for the sponsor to hit. Jun 05 14:20:00 <[NM]thepez>tia> its called exoticanada.com and will have exclusive amateur soft/hard content Jun 05 14:20:02 *Lassiter nods Jun 05 14:20:22 sometimes it's just easier to swap out ads and banners. that way I know that this site did X, so I'll see if this does better or worse. Jun 05 14:20:29 so what you're looking for is traffic to your paysite Jun 05 14:20:38 <[NM]thepez>yes Jun 05 14:21:16 well then that's different.. but you still need lots of feeder sites.. but that traffic will go to you instead of to a sponsor Jun 05 14:21:16 Frank: So in some cases you do go back and swap out sponsors on earlier sites?

Make More Money!! http://www.adult-webmaster-events.com/ Jun 05 14:21:50 <[NM]thepez>tia> should a new site have sponsors? Jun 05 14:22:14 not a paysite.. only on exit .. that's what I would recommend Jun 05 14:22:17 if it seems that is the best way to check a sponsor yes. I usually will pick a less performing site and see if a new sponsor will perform better. Jun 05 14:22:32 I see Jun 05 14:22:59 it just quicker sometimes checking out a sponsor on a already performing site Jun 05 14:23:05 I've seen paysites with sponsors.. and always thought it was a bad idea Jun 05 14:23:05 <[NM]thepez>tia> that's what I was thinking.. I am also going to have a lot of TGP's posted, I can use sponsors from them too right? Jun 05 14:23:24 for most of you advanced guys --> do you have the majority of your sites, etc. with only say 3 sponsors? Jun 05 14:23:43 what do you mean sponsors from them? Jun 05 14:23:49 thepez, many paysites work out deal with other paysites to swap exit traffic and such, there's a few options to do. Jun 05 14:23:51 I have quite a few sponsors... some diveristy doesn't hurt :) Jun 05 14:23:53 or do you have stuff scattered on 20 diff sponsors Jun 05 14:24:20 -->BigE-WildWebAmateurshas joined #netsurprise Jun 05 14:24:23 ---HippyDude gives voice to BigE-WildWebAmateurs Jun 05 14:24:24 Follwing up on PornJunkie's question...is it better to try and sella single sponsor's site on a free site, or do multiple sponsors & sites work better or worse? Jun 05 14:24:27 hiya BigE-WildWebAmateurs Jun 05 14:24:32 PornJunkie, not really, I have probably 12 or so sponsors I use. 3 main one and 1 main one for recurring. Jun 05 14:24:36 I'm back.. =) Jun 05 14:24:37 PornJunkie.. I still get checks from sponsors I don't even use or haven't for over a year :) Jun 05 14:24:39 <[NM]thepez>franks> interesting.. are those called affiliate programs? Jun 05 14:24:49 *hexa is back (gone 00:22:50) Jun 05 14:25:10 yes thepez, Jun 05 14:25:18 <[NM]thepez>k Jun 05 14:25:28 Like, if I have an Asian free site, should I just rry to sell (only for example) Asian Heat, or should I try to sell another sponsors asian niche site as well? Jun 05 14:25:30 you might want to have one of those for your amateur site Jun 05 14:25:38 Lassiter, try selling mainly 1 sponsor per site then provide a alternative. Jun 05 14:25:39 Jason is the best.. Jun 05 14:25:41 an affiliate program Jun 05 14:25:44 Try playing golf with him.. Jun 05 14:25:53 hi BigE Jun 05 14:25:57 Hey Rowdy.. Jun 05 14:25:57 rowdy is in lead for longest average lines Jun 05 14:26:12 thepez, just go to any sponsor site and see how they use there exit popups and such. that's the best way to learn. Jun 05 14:26:12 <--BigE-WildWebAmateurshas left #netsurprise Jun 05 14:26:41 <[NM]thepez>frank> I see many that goto Cyber Erotica.. that guys must be making a mint Jun 05 14:26:55 lol Jun 05 14:26:58 Frank: I see...so if they didnt buy one sponsor's site, offer them another one on exit? Jun 05 14:27:15 Cybererotica is one of the largest and oldest sponsors :) Jun 05 14:27:15 thepez, now, if you are doing amateur stuff, you may can even put up small samle free amateur sites to feed the paysite to, there are many options. Jun 05 14:27:31 be right back.. phone call Jun 05 14:27:38 ---Rowdy is now known as RowdyBRB Jun 05 14:27:39 <[NM]thepez>Frank> you mean different from a tgp page? like a full site?

Jun 05 14:37:09 ya, that one got me for a while - until i came here Jun 05 14:37:23 you guys enlightened me Jun 05 14:37:31 Can you explain that more, FRank?

Jun 05 14:38:16 i didn't notice until i started counting my own clicks with a script and comparing them and was like WTF? Jun 05 14:38:29 same the pez Jun 05 14:38:47 a sponsor is a sponsor, YOU are a affiliate of the sponsor Jun 05 14:38:52 So if they count from the first page, youll have high clicks, but you wont know how many dropped out of the tour after the first page Jun 05 14:39:06 in some case you will Jun 05 14:39:21 siccash for instance tells u both front and 2nd page counts Jun 05 14:39:21 that and because you see higher clicks your ratio will be higher Jun 05 14:39:29 or smaller however you word it Jun 05 14:39:35 <[NM]thepez>I have to run, thanks for the info guys and I'll talk to you soon with my never ending list of questions.

That's why it's not always good to take things at face value and just ask them. Jun 05 14:40:51 http://www.stunningteens.com/tour1.html look what a ripp .... Jun 05 14:40:57 look like all petite Jun 05 14:40:58 Hiya Ladyj Jun 05 14:41:05 Hi Ladyj Jun 05 14:41:05 Hi Ladyj is back,,is HiipyDude a real person?

Jun 05 14:41:58 OK, do we have more sponsor questions? Jun 05 14:42:05 hello ben,spooky Jun 05 14:42:11 ladyj Jun 05 14:42:26 my #1 bitch is in da house Jun 05 14:42:29 all rise Jun 05 14:42:46 Oh, someone should put in a plug for the Statistician, eh? Jun 05 14:43:01 One of the big things for me to is I always ask if I get the exit signups. Many sponsors don't do that anymore, but some still do. That little extra can help. Jun 05 14:43:13 hehhe ben:) Jun 05 14:43:36 http://www.thestatistician.com/ Jun 05 14:43:37 good question is how long before they show up Jun 05 14:43:40 signups that is Jun 05 14:43:45 ladyj :)) Jun 05 14:43:58 in your stsats? Jun 05 14:44:00 pj Jun 05 14:44:08 like clickcash has real time right Jun 05 14:44:12 yes Jun 05 14:44:16 also nice to know if the sponsors holds the cookies and for how long if your surfer returns sometime in the future. Jun 05 14:44:18 PornJunkie: Yep, and knowing what the score is on trial signups vs. regualr signups is a good idea too Jun 05 14:44:32 so the real time stats from sponsors is good? Jun 05 14:44:40 well yeah Jun 05 14:44:54 i guess if u got lots of traffic Jun 05 14:45:08 and getting lots of signups it allows you to check stuff out better Jun 05 14:45:11 sure, yet, the only thing that counts is what's in the $ column, lol Jun 05 14:45:16 also u can click on your own links and test them Jun 05 14:45:20 test reffering urls etc Jun 05 14:45:27 well I will have to wait for the traffic to really pick up then:) Jun 05 14:45:56 but a good tip i think Jun 05 14:45:56 no sponsor pays for the free trial right? Jun 05 14:46:03 LadyJ: Yep..real-time stats for me would be more boring than watching grass grow LOL Jun 05 14:46:04 pj Jun 05 14:46:08 sure they do, lol Jun 05 14:46:11 www.porncash.com Jun 05 14:46:15 have a look there Jun 05 14:46:23 ouch, lol Jun 05 14:46:38 you can also but a clickcash abnner on any free site you may build Jun 05 14:46:43 PornJunkie: AdultCheck Movie Pass does, for one Jun 05 14:46:47 but=put Jun 05 14:47:03 there banners let you count impressions and clickthrus Jun 05 14:47:04 Though itsnot a free trial Jun 05 14:47:09 there a few sponsors out there that do, just gotta shop around Jun 05 14:47:18 ---RowdyBRB is now known as Rowdy Jun 05 14:47:18 ouch? Jun 05 14:47:25 But they pay $2.10 on a $5.95 trial Jun 05 14:47:26 like i know it doesn't for partnership so if i know i get a lot of free trials with cancellations would i be better off on per signup? Jun 05 14:47:28 sorry all... had to take that call :) Jun 05 14:47:33 the main thing is to match the sponsor to the site Jun 05 14:47:56 pj yes Jun 05 14:47:58 so what sponsors are good these days..I have primecash,maxcash,freeezines,and a few more,,but not nothing to brag about Jun 05 14:48:03 but that url i showed u Jun 05 14:48:09 pay wherter they cancel or not Jun 05 14:48:14 cool Jun 05 14:48:37 www.fuckmachines.com Jun 05 14:48:39 err Jun 05 14:48:40 PJ, personally I always make more on per-signup, yet, you need some recurring to level out the slow periods Jun 05 14:48:40 fuk Jun 05 14:48:50 they have no trial and recurring Jun 05 14:49:00 www.fuckmachines.com is an emaple Jun 05 14:49:02 hehe Jun 05 14:49:07 fuk!!!!!!!!!!!

Rowdy can probably answer that question. Jun 05 14:50:57 you get 65% from month 1 Jun 05 14:51:04 I figured it was pronounced "FOOking machines" like some Irish brougue Jun 05 14:51:13 lol Jun 05 14:51:14 lol Jun 05 14:51:15 active :trial to signup Jun 05 14:51:24 fook Jun 05 14:51:25 PornJunkie.. follow me free or ce dollars would be what you want to check out :) Jun 05 14:51:26 lol Jun 05 14:51:27 is this an actual sponsor..I don't see anywhere that it mentions for webmaster to sign up?
