The "and much more" has me intrigued ... the services advertised on Backpage, etc comes to mind.



Presumably the financial bar to skinning GFY has gone way down ... was once, reportedly, $25K minimum ... I'd wager these days, $5K or maybe even less, buys a skin ad here.

Let's face it, the pool of potential productive affiliates to advertise to is a fraction of what it once was - many have left the business while many who remain struggle to just costs and eek out some extra bucks.



That's par for the course. Can't fault them too much though, if what you say is the case, since starting a dating site from scratch with so many competitors and social networking sites, which essentially undermine the need for paid dating sites, is darn near impossible these days.
All good points and you are correct it costs a lot less these days to skin the board than it used to. You're right that there are much fewer affiliates to attract from these days. However, those affiliates still left are more cautious and particular of who they promote than ever before because in the last couple of years so many programs have gone under or just stopped paying affiliates. So if you're going to launch a program in this climate you're going to want to make sure you have all your details covered before launch.
