To be honest, I can't blame them for this - they won't be getting many revenue generating members from countries like India and the Ukraine. How is your revenue doing with them now?

It's a all foreigners signing up, they decline foreign leads etc. It's all Indians, Ukrainians and such signing up. I may have to think about more international traffic ads. Figured out the problem.

Waiting £ 49.00

Paid £ 0
Declined £ 28.50

They aren’t approving anything, declining everything. It’s kinda annoying me off actually!

I'll give it a month, and see how well I've performed.

It is completely possible to develop a successful community part-time though, as long as you manage your time well. <strong>Smiley</strong> - That's a shame about your PayPal situation. I imagine they would unfreeze your account pretty quickly if you just emailed them scans of the information they require. I am surprised to hear your revenue has dropped with EasyDate, particularly as they offer higher commissions with their direct affiliate program. If you click on the 'Transactions' link you will be able to see why some commissions have been denied - often it is because of a double registration with the same IP address. EasyDate aren't denying your commissions to reduce the amount they pay you - rather, they are being more transparent by showing you what is being denied and why. <strong>Nicole</strong> - Let me know how you get on. <strong>John</strong> - I think I tried AffiliateFuture a long time ago, I may go check them out again and see what merchants they have on board. Google AdSense can be a good money maker regardless of the size of your site. I use it on <a href="http://www.justchat.co.uk/" target="_blank">Just Chat</a> and clear a good amount of revenue each month. <strong>Cody</strong> - Hopefully my latest article on <a href="http://www.communityspark.com/revenue-share-or-cost-per-action/">dating affiliate revenue</a> will be useful.

Whats your take on pay per sale and revenue share for dating affiliate programs? I am leaning towards revenue share for the "long term success of your online community" which usually depending on the affiliate is around 50% on initial sales and rebills. But the $50.00 per sale is an attractive offer. Whats your take on this? maybe you could do a whole article on this issue? I am not sure if anyone else will be requiring some guidance on this particular subject. Martin I am at a crossroads with my community advertising and could use your wise opinon.

If you use networks, you can have the banner open in a new window.

I'd never have thought of adding 100 or so different ads and then rotating them. Tradedoubler is a good network. Have you ever used affiliatefuture as I find that good too!. If you want targetted ads and you are a small site then Google adsense is a good start. I've earnt $1.98 in 4 days! Not much I know but it will pay for my hosting, which is a start.

But, since I switched to EasyDate, my revenue has dropped? All the leads keep bloody getting ‘declined’?? I think EasyDate are having me on. Getting leads but finding a way to not have to pay out. I can’t see any explanation as to why £16 today has been declined?!
