No one in this thread except Klen with a few mega Tubes has given any good reasons why the affiliate model for porn should be saved. Come up with reasons it's thriving if you can.
No paysite needs affiliates unless they can send a lot of business and most of you can't. |
Here are the Affiliate Facts in 2020 Paul:
There are a handful of Mega Affiliates like Pornhub, XVideos, etc. These sites have huge amounts of traffic and therefore can send relatively large amounts of traffic to Sponsors. Sponsors either buy ad space on these sites and/or submit content (pictures and videos) directly as a trade for traffic (banner/text links back to Sponsor's website)
Then there are the hundreds of "little fish" that own small tube sites, review sites, blogs and the like. They may only be able to send relatively small amounts of traffic to a Sponsor's paysite but theoretically that smaller traffic is more targeted so the conversions should be higher.
So: big sites send a lot of joins while the myriad of smaller sites collectively send a lot of joins. As a Program Owner I value and respect both levels of Affiliates because, in the end, they are essential to my success (and theirs). It is a symbiotic relationship.
