Matchmaking affiliate programs promise you high revenue share, almost guarantee you success and you just keep waiting and waiting for your check from the associate program with no result? Where are the sales, where are the referrals? Were you trapped with a smart advertising campaign of a certain associate program?

Sad but true, no matter how well a particular product may go on other websites, it just might not be right for yours. Statistics show that only a small percentage of dating affiliates for any given matchmaking associate program actually make any money. What happens if you are one of them? Is it time to take down the site and let the domain name registration expire?

No way! But it just might be the time to think over your strategy. Analyze your website and the associate programs that you have signed up for. Determine which of those REALLY appeal to your target audience. You need to concentrate on the products and services that your visitors will be the most interested in. To choose a dating associate program which compliments your website's content and theme is much more important than to sign up for every affiliate program promising to make you rich with only one sale.

We all know that there is much more to being successful with a dating affiliate program than just adding banners to your rotation.

Have you blended the product offerings in with your content? Have you given personal recommendations for any of the products? Have you displayed the links and/or graphics prominently so that the majority of your traffic has a chance to see them? Have you mentioned new product offerings to your newsletter subscribers?

No? No wonder your dating revenue share leaves much to be desired. Use some imagination, think of non standard ways to promote the product, use the recourses your matchmaking associate program offers you (and if it is a good one it has a large variety of links which will make you site look even better), contact your affiliate program manager for help and advice - be active and you will see you matchmaking revenue share double in a few weeks.
