Fling.com / Huge Traffic Affiliate Network Reviews

Fling.com / Huge Traffic has a great affiliate program but I know not everyone will be into it. Everyone knows the online dating market is huge, and “adult dating” is a big part of that and growing fast. Some people consider fling to be borderline pornography, and some of their banners and creatives are straight up porn, but of course everyone also knows that sex sells, and Fling.com obviously knows it too.

PAYOUTS

Payouts are pretty good. $35 if you have 1-9 signups a day, $45 for 10-19, and $55 for 20+ signups a day. (That’s paid signups, NOT free signups.) Free signups sometimes turn into paid signups. I generally have 90% free joins and 10%  paid joins, but I imagine this will vary greatly depending on how you generate your traffic.

*** Fling.com also has a “webmaster referral” affiliate program where you get paid $200 when someone signs up through your link.*** That’s easy money and reason enough right there to sign up right now.

You get paid after the person has generated a certain number of paid subscriptions (generally between 4 – 8 to prevent fraud).

OFFERS

They really only have one offer and that’s a signup to fling.com. Affiliates sign up though hugetraffic.com but all they promote is fling.com. I assume that maybe in the future they might expand into other things.

The Fling.com affiliate program has a ton of banners, photos, videos, and other landing pages available. They have all sorts of geo-targeted landing pages and creatives where it says the name of your city on the ad–”Meet girls in Dallas who want to fuck”, etc.

The fling.com affiliate program also has serveral “specialty” landing pages and creatives to target different people’s tastes– asian, amateur, big ass, big titis, jewish, latina, gay, etc. It’s obvious that fling.com is catered towards getting men to sign up but there’s also a “tour” available for women.

Fling.com also has creatives with different levels of nudity and graphic content. They have creatives with just pretty faces, some with sexy poses but no nudity, some with naked boobs, and some with straight-up porno pictures on them. In other words you can find banners, tours, and other creatives to fit onto pretty much any website and cater to any crowd, group, or fetish.

You can also customize and design your own creatives to meet your particular needs.

SCRUBBING

This is really difficult to tell since there’s nothing else to compare it to. You can’t promote them through different networks and see what the signup rate is in other words. I have a feeling though that the numbers are pretty accurate though. They’re not paying for leads so there’s nothing to scrub. They just payout when someone purchases a membership. I will say though that fling.com pretty consistently outperforms adultfriendfinder.com in my tests. Again, that could just be a result of the way I generate traffic.

AFFILIATE MANAGER / COMMUNICATION

I think I got a “welcome to fling.com” autoresponder email, but aside from that I’ve heard nothing from them. No emails or calls about anything. I’ve never contacted them so I can’t say how they would be if I tried. They offer email, phone, support tickets, and ICQ as contact methods.

INTERFACE

Very basic but for the most part you can find what you need. There’s only 6 pages on the whole site although there are a ton of banners and landing pages as I mentioned above. The URLs all have your affiliate tracking code in them already so you can just cut and paste them into whatever you need to.

REPORTING

Again, it’s very basic but it does what it needs to do. You can choose the exact date for stats, the 2 week pay period, or a date range. It shows you free and paid joins per day and also the ratio of free and paid joins.

Fling.com offers fairly primitive subid tracking but it works fine. The have “campaign ids” that you can add to the end of your URLs.  You open a separate pop-up window which lists the performance of all the campaign ids. Unfortunately you can’t change the sorting order or download the reports so you pretty much have to cut and past everything into an excel sheet and get the data that way. It’s a pain in the ass, no doubt about it.

They’re obviously really set up for webmasters who would make a campaign ID for a website or something, it’s not really set up with PPC or keyword tracking in mind, but, as I say, you can make it work. There’s definitely room for improvement here.

PAYMENTS

The Fling.com affiliate program pays out every two weeks like clockwork.

NON-US OFFERS

You can promote fling.com in pretty much any country around the world as far as I can tell. They have hundreds of countries listed in their pulldown menus and I can’t find anything on their site which says you can’t promote in certain countries.

PROS

• Hot market
• Huge market
• Growing market
• Good payouts
• Fast payouts
• Lots of creatives to target most niches
• Promote worldwide

CONS

• Poor interface and reporting

OTHER COMMENTS

If you’ve in the dating market you owe it to yourself to promote Fling.com. Although it is somewhat of a specialty market, I find that it converts much better than any other dating offers I’ve promoted through any CPA network.

Who doesn’t want to get laid, right? It’s a primal need of human beings which make this one of the hottest markets around.

Also, as I said above, you get paid $200 for referring other “webmasters” (affiliates) once they generate 4 – 8 paid signups. That’s easy money!

Even though you might never have thought of promoting “adult dating”, you owe it to yourself to give it a shot. It’s a red hot and growing market that you can make bank on!
