I am a director for SAEG (Safe Adult Entertainment Group) and we are a registered company in the UK dedicated to making the internet a clean, safe and fun place for adults. We also have a network of over 50 Adult sites promoting top converting programs not only that we also teach new adult webmasters the right way in the industry.
Well as you know there are so many companies out there scamming with false links leading to illegal material and in turn the adult surfer clicks on these and they get virus's, degrading illegal porn on there machines. Or theres affiliate programs which are setup by con men using young adult webmasters to use their false programs promising huge payouts only to run with any sales they bring them (this happens alot)
The Adult industry is an area where if you do not do it properly and cover your buts with the right compliance and laws you could get yourself in to alot of trouble. Its not like any standard website where you can sign up to a program and make money. In fact the Adult industry is a haven of making lots of money so isnt it better to do this knowing you are doing this legally?
ALL adult sites have to have a 18 USC 2257 compliance notice. So not many people realise this every single Adult Affiliate program you join you have to add the legal representation to your own 18 USC 2257 compliance notice. You can not just join loads of programs stick all the banners and pictures, videos etc on your site and sit back waiting to make tons of cash.. Well you could but your opening yourself up for investigation.
Every Adult Program you join, if you add any of there material copy the registered office which holds the actors/models etc legal documents to your compliance notice. If you wish to see an example of what one can look like then visit this link 18 USC 2257 compliance notice.
If you do this then your covered from a legal standpoint also another key thing to do is RTA make sure your site holds the Restricted to Adults meta code, this enables search engines to know your site is adult related. Our company takes it steps futher and gives sites a MOT, checking everything for you so you do not have to you also become a member and proudly show the badge of approval. So if this interests you before you take your site live then check out SAEG for more details.
Adult Affiliate Definitions and what they mean and how they benefit you.
Right as most of you have seen there is thousands of adult programs out their and a good 70% of them are poor they pretty much use adult webmasters to send them free traffic hense why they say on some of them 15% of the sale you will earn each customer now alot of these standard programs advertising generic pictures, videos you seriously will need to send them thousands of visitors before you get a conversion so all your doing is helping them with backlinks and SEO.
Remember this Rule Quality over Quantity!!
Who cares if a program has zillions of pictures and videos if they dont convert wants the point? you wont earn and money from them.
So take your time and follow this check list when looking at new affiliate programs.
Look for Niche content if you want to design a site about i.e asians always dedicate to a topic never sidetrack.
When Developing stick to a couple of programs per site.. Use any more your cutting your conversion by spamming programs and its easy to track.
Use Google Analytics on every page you design to check your affiliate traffic (whats hot and whats not)
Is the Affilate program active? i.e are they updating constantly.. this is key!!!
Do they have an active forum.. again key share tactics and learn from other webmasters on that program.
Do they allow Campaigns? again you need to track what site got the sale!! always create a campain for each site you make.
Do they have a 18 USC compliance.. if they dont NEVER use them.
Check out the sites credit card authorisation is it a good one? i.e ccbill etc if its not this alone puts off people from spending money with a site.
Always make sure the payout is 30%+ and they also have Webmaster Referral program.
Check the alexa etc of the programs the affiliate is promoting if its popular then its shows a good customer base.
Ok theres some pointers when planning to use an affiliate program and what the jargon means, lets talk about types now.
Ok probably the best way of making money.. let me explain. When a customer joins and you are using Revshare via your affiliate program tool. Everytime that person rejoins or spends more money with the site they signed up to under your affiliate link you get paid!!!!! not only that on most programs on a Revshare that customer is yours for up to 90 days. So think about the money you can make from Revshare.. especially in webcam programs.. People do get hooked or fall in love with a girl/guy etc.
This one you get an intial payout alot higher than a revshare but thats it if that same customer spends money again you do not get any cut from it. This type of program is probably better on picture sites.. Because experience has shown us if a customer joins a picture site they will once look at everything move on spend on another site. Unless its a site like Adultfriendfinder, Alt, then customers are normally repeat so better to go Revshare.
Ok you will always find on so many forums people planting links why? because they want you to sign up under there affiliation. The reason is they get a cut.. gone are the days you got money instantly for brining a new webmaster to the program now its more like if a new webmaster signs up under your link you get a minimum (depending on program) 10% share of everything they make for a certain amount of time, some programs give you this for life. So sure its a great way of making extra money and one we have been extremely successful with the difference is we encourage our webmasters to contact us so we can help them make money.
adult webmasters has affiliate webmaster link.. 40+ adult webmasters sign up under that link the webmaster with the link now not only has his payouts from his programs.. he also has the income of 40+ other webmasters so if each of them make a sale in one month at 10% share thats 40x10% of the sale. See how much income you can make???
Ok white label is a way a webmaster can use his domain do be a replica of the main site he wants to promote. Benefits are you dont need web design skills so its a instant site in a bag, you apply if they accept your domain then you can upload a logo, change colours, texts and the launch via there tools. Only thing you will need to do is create a Cname or change the A records in your DNS where your domain is registered to the IP address they assign you for your White Label site.
Here is an example whitelist site http://camxx.lsl.com
Theres alot of white label sites out there via these companies and SEO is affected because again they are seen a replica's of the one true site. Yet they are handy if you dont have designs skills own a good traffic adult domain name and want to earn better money than parking. Then these can be very beneficial.
Hope that helps on the types of programs in a affiliate program and the ways of making money with them now another question we always get asked. Is about Adsense Alternatives on adult sites.
???
Sorry thats a nope, Google will not allow this and if you get caught well you could loose any SEO you put into that site so its really not worth the gamble. But!!! all is not lost, there are programs out there that are the same as google adsense. Programs like Juicy Ads is a fantastic solution check adult programs page for more info but its a real winner.
Ok chaps theres some pointers i hope its been some help and of course please contact us if you wish more information as i said we as in SAEG have tried the majority of programs out their and know which are the good ones so will be more than happy to help but at the end of the day if their are any questions you need asking please ask.. Adult affiliate market is a good way of making an income but make sure you do it correctly and you have nothing to worry about. |
