I have found another site that pay is well, consistently and been around for years “Click Cash – iFriends. The profits are pretty good, and the content is top quality. You have to use  banners of those of an adult site and should be relieved by lots of banners that they have to choose from to entice people there.

You should be selling only to those over 18. You can make a lot of money with just a simple banner text line input and then “click here” to your affiliate site.

Get started now!

Date March 20 2009

I have to admit, without a doubt, in ten years of being in the dating affiliate business (and cashing checks every month for ten years!) The Medley group of dating affiliate services, including Friend Finder, Adult Friend Finder, Slim.com and a lot more, makes me a nice steady income month after month, year after year.

Friend Finder programs are great to work around the content you create, or republish, from article sites, video sites, other affiliate programs, you name it.

Even stand-alone affiliate dating sites can make a good buck month after month with no more than some great PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising.
Take a look at www.eWealthymen.com and I’ll tell you that it took me about 30 minutes to set up, maybe a couple of hours a month to monitor and adjust the keyword advertising, and another few minutes to cash my commission checks!

Here is a list of just SOME of the dating services you can promote from Medley.com, the Friend Finder group of dating services:

• ALT.com
• Adult Friendfinder
• Amigos.com
• Cams.com
• Filipino Friendfinder
• Jewish Friendfinder
• Indian Friendfinder
• Millionaire Mate
• Senior Friendfinder
• Slim.com

As you can easily see, there are plenty of niche dating services and a lot of ways to integrate these dating services into any content you create. So get creative, and get ready to cash some checks!

NOTE: I do make a sweet 10% of the commissions you earn when you sign up from the links above. Be nice, share the wealth just like I’m sharing my knowledge.

Take a look at www.eWealthyMen.com as an example.

Create a website, add content and wrap your affiliate service around the brand you have created. Many dating service affiliates earn tens of thousands of dollars a month. And even if your success doesn’t go that high, a few extra hundred dollars a month doesn’t hurt either, right?

Here is another example: www.PleasebeMine.com

It does take time to design your website and create traffic and find a niche that includes dating service and original content. There are a lot of people that will write free articles for some self-promotion on your website, as seen at PleasebeMine.com, so keep this in mind as you search out content.

Here are recommended dating service affiliate programs to join. We recommend reading through all these possibilities and selecting only one or two programs that you can create a website around. Don’t start by joining every and all affiliate programs, it’s likely that if you can create a well-designed website and have good traffic that you will make more money promoting one dating affiliate program than you would promoting several different programs on the same website.

Dating Service Affiliate Programs

LargeFriends
Create your own private label dating service for BBW and BHM people! Your domain hosted by LargeFriends, integrated into their BBW and BHM dating service. Promote and make commissions per signup/lead or by paid membership (hint: you’ll make more money opting for commissions from membership sales) Click here to get started.

SexyAds.com
Earn 50% of each membership sale. We’ve been an affiliate/reseller of SexyAds.com and have made a lot of money with this program. It’s easy to promote, with dozens of niche dating services to offer your visitors. If you can’t build a dating service website around being a SexyAds affiliate then you really shouldn’t quit your day job.

Friendfinder
Now owned by Penthouse, this collection of enduring dating services, from adult and BDSM to religion and ethnic based dating services boasts more than 20 million members and pays commissions on a sliding scale based on your traffic sent and the conversions you get of free members to paid members. Although the “co-brand” in place to reflect your own website on your affiliate site is available, we suggest promoting your own content tied with your selected Friendfinder niche dating service. Regularly held affiliate contests reward well the people that run their affiliate site(s) effectively and profitably.

Fitness-Singles
Do you have a health-related website? Do you run wellness related articles and products featured on your website? If you said yes, you need to promote a healthy relationship dating service. Fitness-Singles.com is your answer.

AdultFriendfinder
With a membership base of more than 20 million people, and owned by the one of the largest ‘for men’ adult entertainment company Penthouse you’ll make a LOT of money promoting this dating and swinger site to your visitors.

Multi-merchant Affiliate Managers

These websites are affiliate program promoters that manage the affiliate programs of many different brands. Join the company as an affiliate and join several other affiliate programs that are managed within. This has the increased benefit of keeping several affiliate programs under one roof, as opposed to independent affiliate programs, and you can select complimentary products and programs to sell promote to your visitors without being a member of dozens of independent programs.

Commission Junction
Hundreds of affiliate programs in dozens of categories with one bundled affiliate commission payment every month. Commission Junction is easy to use, responsive to affiliate needs and manages top-tier dating service affiliate programs like eharmony.com, perfectmatch.com and more.

Linkshare
Very responsive with dedicated affiliate managers to help you with your programs, promotions and website needs. Linkshare hosts top-tier dating service affiliate programs such as lavalife.com, match.com and Chemistry.com.

Shareasale
Offers some dating services, some advice ebooks, and plenty of help for new affiliates. This could be the best application you fill out today for affiliate programs.

The dating service affiliate program managers will handle the sales and support issues, you maintain a steady flow of traffic through your site to theirs and cash the commission checks.

Also listed here are “Dating Service White Label” programs where you own the domain and the service provider manages the backend, members and billing. This is a great way to have a fully populated dating service with your own name in a matter of hours. Read each review for complete details of the services and how I found them to operate.

If you have an existing dating service, this can work well with a EXIT TRAFFIC plan, drawing traffic in the direction of another dating service from your exit traffic can increase revenue when properly placed without costing you any membership fees and actually adding to your earnings.

An excellent placement for EXIT TRAFFIC is the “logout” screen.

The member is already leaving your service, have some revenue generators ready to help them continue searching for that special someone. Another great placement for your visitors to find your affiliate links for the dating services you earn revenue from is your links page. This method works very well when you have a web site whose main content does not directly involve dating but has a large traffic of men and women between 18 and 45 years of age.

NOTE:
The staff of Dating B2B has evaluated hundreds of online dating service revenue sharing programs. Just as it is true that only a small percentage of affiliates of any program will earn high revenue dollars a month, it is also true that many dating services offer affiliate programs only as a means of free advertising. Don’t let them do this to you! You are joining with them to promote their service and earn you money! If they turn around and promote a different service, or have traffic swap banners appearing on your referral page, email them and ask them to remove them from your link, or just delete the program from your web site. You are already increasing their traffic through your efforts, don’t let them mis-direct the traffic you send them through such sleazy tactics because you will lose sales and your referral (the visitor you sent them) loses focused attention on the affiliate product you are selling. The services we have listed above do not promote using such tactics and/or will remove the offending popups and advertising at your request. If you really want a steady revenue from dating service affiliate programs, the services above should suit your needs. If you are aware of any programs not listed above, please contact us and we will be happy to review the service for you before you join and possibly waste your time and referral traffic.

WHITE LABEL AFFILIATES

This type of affiliate program provides you with a complete system ready to promote. You choose the domain name and basic layout/structure of your dating service and they provide the backend system. The database of members, the billing and payments. Many white label dating services also offer the capability to get your own affiliates to promote your service. An excellent way to increase revenues with not too much work.

DATING SERVICES USING WHITE LABELS

WorldDatingPartners – I am in the midst of testing this white label service provider. I must say, the promotion of their system and the actual setup of your own dating service is almost overwhelming. Go slow, read and watch everything available before you jump in. But once you do it’ll be hard to not have several dating services up and running and ready for you to promote and make money. Take a look at my site here www.xlonely.com

Bone-Fish (Dating Central) – I love these guys! I have been running two white label services with Bone-Fish almost from their beginning. I love the customization, the easy setup, the on-time payments and my customers love the features and the benefits of being a member. Take a look at www.alovelinksplus.com/dc.htm and www.PleaseBeMine.com and you’ll see how easy it is to promote and cash in on Bone-Fish white label dating services! Bone-Fish is highly recommended for you to start or add on to, your website and generate great revenues from your dating service. You can decide the membership prices, the overall look of your dating website and even start your own affiliate network to help you promote your service. If only every white label dating service was this easy!

LiveDateSearch – New Dating Affiliate program that pays for clicks + free signups + 50% of all sales + 5% of your affiliates’ income. The website looks very attractive and is based on the new idea: “rate me” + “profile-based” dating. They offer highly customizable feeds and geo-targeting. Recently they launched AdSense Revenue Share program. You submit your AdSense ID during the registration. Then ads with your AdSense ID are shown for 50% of time on their website to the visitors you have referred. This way you can increase your conversion.

ReallyFabDating.com – I am currently testing this white label service. The setup seems easy enough but I’m not sure I setup the CNAME change correctly. Once the DNS propagates and my site has been approved by ReallyFabDating.com I will see how much I can earn from this site, www.kissingboth.com (Update Oct 26 2007) I am still trying to get this site setup according to ReallyFabDating’s instructions. I have emailed them to confirm the setup instructions and why my site isn’t working. It may be that I can only run my ReallFabDating white label service as a subdomain of their system which gives me the dating service http://kissingboth.reallyfabdating.com but then I would have to create a complete KissingBoth.com website to promote the dating service. Seems like an awful lot of work. I will find out more if they ever email me back.

The Relationship Exchange – The biggest network of partner dating services that share a database of singles. Monthly fees and setup charges involved, but with proper promotion you should be turning a profit within 2 months. Many White Labels for The Relationship Exchange promote their services through affiliate programs paying per signup. A great way to promote your white label dating service with less effort since using an affiliate program manager, such as Commission Junction, puts the bookkeeping onto someone else and you cash the checks!

DATEAPP- Not recommended as of September 2007. I worked with this program since October 2006 and received only one payment for commissions. It’s since been since February 2007 that I have yet to receive any commissions, despite dozens of emails and countless attempts to contact them by phone. (http://www.dateapp.com/)- This white label dating affiliate program and dating script service is no longer recommended. Since June 2007 (or earlier!) they have stopped making payments to affiliates and now no longer respond to emails (DateHelp@DateApp.com) or phone calls at 678.381.3696 (or the conflicting number at 678.318.3696, for some reason they have both numbers on their contact page). If you are also having troubles with this company contact me at:
or visit http://www.dateapp-sucks.com

I Want U – Start your own CashRing dating service. Offer 3 types of dating services that you can promote, Singles, Gay and Lesbian and Swingers. Use the search box, rather than just a banner link and you’ll find sign-ups coming fast and plenty of commissions to follow. They pay 20% to 80% of new membership fees and renewals. I Want U also offers you a free website and domain name hosted on their servers once you have earned over $100.00 a month. You can only promote their products, but they include not only the dating services but web hosting as well. Watch your revenue increase steadily through the monthly renewals of all the services you can sell. Take care to watch the affiliate rules here. I lost the free domain white label service they offered me (swingersdating.com) because my revenue with them slipped below the bottom level for a couple of months. Not fair but what can you do?

LoveMe.com (A Foreign Affair) – A Foreign Affair offers the highest commissions and maintains the best possible conversion rates in order for our affiliates to earn the highest return possible and is the only company to offer $500.00 Romance Tour commissions. In addition they pay 30% on all address sales, and a recurring 30% commission on all memberships. You can even create a co-branded site and your clients will receive, among other things, full customer service, weekly updates of matching profiles, Monthly Newsletters, and be able to participate in a Daily Giveaway.

DATING SERVICES AFFILIATES

EasyDate – Offering 6 (to date) services to advertise I am currently testing this mostly UK based collection of online dating services to see how well they perform. Based on the popularity this is a growing segment for affiliates not to miss!

SexSearch.com – This service is currently under review but I urge you to join before they are advertised all over the place. Despite the name this is on the safer side of adult personals and with their unique style of interactions with visitors they signup ratio is high and the sales of memberships is also high.

PleaseBeMine.com – Earn 40% commissions and 40% on recurring billing! Application time is 24 – 48 hours. You can integrate your affiliate site as your own if you like, or as a straight affiliate for a very well known website.

CUPID.com – Easy to join and promote. Use as an advertiser for your service and earn up to 55% of recurring membership fees. This program I have been a part of since 2003 but their affiliate management is poor at best. They often change managers, do not followup with contact requests although payments are regular when you have earned the minimum payout amount. Joining this affiliate program can be good for you as CUPID.com has a North American wide television and radio advertising program that brings the name great attention from singles visiting your web site.

MillionaireMate.com – Join the current craze of bringing together rich men and beautiful young women. This niche service provides me a great revenue stream whether promoted on it’s own or alongside other programs.

FRIEND FINDER – And other niche dating services. They pay up to 100% of paid membership fees to you plus a per membership sign-up amount, 55% of membership fees, a pay-per-click revenue model, depending on the niche service and program you decide to promote. Friend Finder pays regularly and is dependable as a revenue source. This group of services is a must join. You can easily integrate their services into any type of web site, in many different languages.

SEXY ADS – Pays 50% of all membership fees and rebills (renewals). Programs include adult, gay, black and more dating options that you can directly link to target to your visitors. Members do have some free options which really increases the conversion ratio to paid memberships. Payments managed by 3 different billing companies so you don’t have to worry about one being inaccessible and membership sales not being processed. Paid weekly and twice a month, depending on the billing company. A very regular source of revenue and a great way to increase the dollar value of your money earning website!

UDATE.com – ConnectionZone.com – NOT RECOMMENDED! This affiliate program was one I joined way back in 2001 or 2002. I had made a lot of money with them but since the company was purchased by the parent company of Match.com the affiliate program has stagnated and they are extremely slow in making payments and haven’t responded to an email from me since November 2005! I even have a couple of uncashable affiliate payment checks from UDATE because they issued the check to the wrong name and no one wants to correct this for me so I’m sitting on US$283.00 in worthless checks and I don’t know how much in unpaid commissions because their system only shows 60 days worth of transactions. But I’m sure it’s several hundred dollars they owe me as of this date May 22 2008. If you are also having troubles with this company contact me.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO STARTING AS AN AFFILIATE

I receive many emails from people that want to start an online dating service and they have no coding experience, no HTML skills and little computer knowledge. Yet, they have the drive to earn money and help people online. Starting slow and building up your skills, seeing if you actually have the commitment to make this new online business of yours work should become your first priority.

STEP 1:
Get a website. I repeat this all the time, you can’t get anywhere without your own website and domain name. If you’re at all serious, choose a domain name and register it here with the information I am sharing below:

Two Things You Should Know About Naming Your Website:

1. Keep It Easy To Remember – a single word, a common phrase will work wonders to get word-of-mouth recommendations for your web site.

2. Don’t use hyphens! www.EasyToRemember.com is not
www.easy-to-remember.com! But, it can work very well as a mini-site and drive traffic to your main site. Take a look at our example here:
http://www.freedatingservicesforwomen.com is forwarded to http://www.free-dating-services-for-women.com and they are mini-sites that draw traffic to large affiliate dating programs and my main site.

Business-Domain-Names.com – The cheapest domain name registrations anywhere. Full control of your web name account through an easy-to-use interface. All domain names are registered in your name! Free domain forwarding! Free change of ownership. Every option you could think of is available!

STEP 2:
Find a reasonably priced domain host. This is where the code for your website is uploaded to. You’ll find our best choices for domain hosting companies.

STEP 3:
Join a dating service affiliate program from above. This is the best bet to get information from the successful affiliates without searching endlessly for information. Joining I Want U and SexyAds should be your first two moves as a dating service affiliate. Then take your time and read the comprehensive information that is made available specifically for their affiliates. You’ll learn lots.

STEP 4:
Visit the home page of DatingB2B.com often and join our monthly newsletter. You’ll find lots of information for content ideas and ways to increase your website traffic and sales. If you’ve made it this far, please contact me and let me know how you’re doing!

If you are the owner/manager of a dating service or other affiliate program that may be of interest to the visitors to Dating B2B please read the linking information here. Thanks.
