YNOT – PunkBucks, a new affiliate program devoted to the alt-porn niche, launched in late February. In the works for more than a year according to its developers, the program went live with one pay site, but others are expected to launch soon.
The flagship website, TheDangerousDolls.com, started life as an alternative adult social networking community. The destination retains many of its social-networking components, and the owners said they feel the approach will lead to significant conversions.
The “dolls” themselves don’t hurt, either, as co-owner Keith — better known in the adult industry as Varius — pointed out. All of them are seriously into alternative looks, attitude, music and sex.
“The site boasts over 135 dolls who shoot exclusive sets and videos for our site and interact with its members on a daily basis,” Varius said. “New dolls are added weekly. The Dangerous Dolls are often on the road to visit tattoo conventions and other mainstream events.”
According to Claudia B., another co-owner who is better known in the industry as LittleC, the dolls are devoted to their fans. Many spend enormous amounts of time on the site, interacting with members in public and in private. As a added bonus, TheDangerousDolls.com hosts weekly live nude chat events at no additional charge for members.
“Combine exclusive daily updates, an active webcam chatroom and daily appearances from star models, and you can see why TheDangerousDolls is breaking industry standards for conversions and retention,” LittleC said. “It’s sure to convert your alt, emo and tattoo traffic.”
Vince H., known as Dragonking, said together the trio of owner-operators has 12 years of experience in the adult industry. In addition, as members of the alt scene themselves, they have a legitimate perspective on both the industry and the alt philosophy.
“We have applied our experience in what we do best, and that is making money with quality niche-specific exclusive content and kick-ass girls,” Dragonking said.
PunkBucks pays 50-percent revshare or $20 per sale, plus a 10-percent webmaster referral override. CCBill manages the program’s back end and payouts.
