fatpockets?

[bigdog]

anyone here useing fatpockets what kind of conversions are you getting?

[Manuel]

I used fatpockets a few weeks ago for a short time and send only a few TGP clicks to it and had ~1:90-1:130 but not many stayed .. their join page is nice and the banners too but the page content is very "cheap".

They link their sections to the other sites they have so you realy sell 10 or 12 sites for 1 price but in fact thats one big site splited in 10 or 12 sections ... my opinion only.

[bigdog]

who cares if the member stays as long as your in the per signup program

[magnatique]

per signup = less signups

but they're not dumb, it all equals the same thing...

been with them for 3-4 months... well, the productivity went down since november... but they're not bad ...

[Manuel]

bigdog - you are not realy right because check their terms .. if you have a high cancel (trial -> full) or chargback ratio with their signup program you can get droped (most sponors have that) - but more importand is that the signup stats on the member area are NOT realtime ... the hits (raq, unique, refer) are shown in realtime but the joins are ~1 day later ..

How did you come up with that???

I know that I started to send hits and in a few hours had a signup.

The problem with fatpockets is that their server is down for a considerable period of time lately.

[Manuel]

Hi x3mas - i said i only used them for ~1 week to test and send only ~450 clicks tgp traffic to fatpockets but the signups always apeard one day later .. always
when i checked the stats at ~11pm i had the normal hits etc. but no signups - i did the same the next day and saw that i had a signup the day before ... perhaps its their server or their stat system has probs atm - then i only had a bad week *g* ... but as i also said they work pretty well (nice ratio)

only problem i see are their site content at the moment http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/redface.gif(

[bigdog]

i signed up yesterday and there server was down this morning i can see my stats now but my hits are not being counted are fatpockets stats real time?

[Dammy]

Yes.. Their stats are real time.
Only they´re having a lot of server problems lately &gt; http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/frown.gif

yep
I've been using them for 4 months now
they're pretty good
got paid on time and they also reply fairly fast on my question ..

[Manuel]

But which program do you use there ? The Partnership .. and if yes, did you had/have good stats there (that the members stay) ?

I joined them because they sent Dom Perignon Champagne last november and this year i wanna get it... didn´t thought they are working soo good and that they will add a new niche site etc.

[x3m]

Have anyone used their Quick Hundred proggy?

I know my traffic can produce more than 1 out of 3 conversions from trial to monthly. What's the catch there?

[bigdog]

is that quick hundred prog for real? i was weary of using them because of this so called quick hundred prog

[Manuel]

Yes it is real and a nice idea .. if a member stay after the trial period you get $100 for the member (if not nothing but $100 are ~2-3 joins with other sites ..). They think if a member don´t want to cancel (can do that easy and fast on the site) they like the site and stay and they make more then $100 from the member so they pay you .. X3M if you have good traffic etc. i would give them a try - its a like a partnership sponsor onyl you get your money fast and not more later *g*

[x3m]

Yes, Manuel, I think I will give it a shot. If less than 1 in 3 will stay, it means there is a problem and it will backfire in the per-signup proggy too.

Manuel, since you were inside, are they upselling other paysites or other types of things from their members area? Do they give good hardcore content themselves? What about video clips and live feed?

Thanks.

[Manuel]

ok - first i must say sorry ...

i wrote that the content of the sites is bad and thats why members don´t stay .. thats NOT realy true - only their site (bigtits) has low content on the main page - after x3m asked i just checked it again:

When the members signup they get pass/login for one site (they chosed) - from there they have access (pull down menue or text links) to ALL the other sites (10 sites for 1) - smutfantasies (their i think best site) for example has "Photo Galleries, Games & Stories, Live Shows, Magazines and Videos" .. so if the member don´t like one site they can chose another site (teen, tits, ass etc. and use their pass/login there in the future mainly - seems that it was my traffic and not the site which converted bad ..

about the selling - yes they have a "Shopping" area (2-3 text links) but you see that you have to buy something there etc. and its only a penis enlarge thing and a dvd .. shop - no other membership sites or exit popups etc. and realy realy clean layout - if you search something you find it with the first look"

They also write on smut fantasies (didn´t checked the other sites expect bigtits already) that they will lunch AfricanFantasies VoyeurFantasies and OrientalFantasies soon (also housewife but thats already running - update the news *g*) so there will be some new and nice niches and then you can sell 15 sites for 1 price

should work realy well with the few hundreds or mainly the fatpockets program (my opinion) and you can get a good monthly income with it.

So now lemme cancel it and no i didn´t joined them with my refer code - i joined them before i used their program to see what the members get and if they like to stay (sounds silly) ;o)

[x3m]

Manuel, thanks a lot for you overview. I really appreciate it. From what you're saying, it looks very good.

Do you mind, if I quote some of the things you said here, on my sites for the surfers, without mentioning you personal info, of course?

Actually joing your perspective sponsor's sites is not a bad idea at all (as long as you don't cheat them). I should probably do that too.

Regards,
x3m

[Manuel]

Hehe sure you can quote things - hope the "review" helped kinda for some of the ppl here.

And sure - in my opinion its a good idea to join your sponsor's site (as you said ... don´t cheat them) because then you can see what the ppl get (correct me if i am wrong) - if the site is good you will make good money with them and then the trial fee you paid or the first month are not worth to get mentioned.

Also if you tell your visitors what they REALY get (not something like "FREE Hardcore Sex Now") and they join the program and find what you said, you can be almost sure that they will stay for a long time because if they don´t like your banner text they won´t even try the trial.

For the normal click sponosrs banners etc. are working great often but for recurring sponors or special the few hundred thing i would use a good text link - if you tell them that they get access for $1,99 (i think) and access to 11 sites for that price they will join because they want the differnte niches or just access to lot of big adult sites ..

It will take them longer then 3 or 5 days perhaps to check all the sites content ...

[basschick]

i try to get access to paysites i promote. imagine my surprise when one program let me into their sites and every fucking thing they had was free content (like pornication) or major upsell content or crap!

needless to say, i didn't promote them after that ;-)

seriously, most sponsors will let you in to have a peek if you ask...
