REVIEWS

If you use affiliate programs as a source of income, you have probably found yourself looking for a new sponsor from time to time. There are many great sites that list links and descriptions of the thousands of programs available, and it seems like there is a new 50/50 program launched at least twice a week…

So how the heck do you choose which one is going to be the best for you?

When searching for a new sponsor I tend to have a basic requirement list, but also try not to limit myself, as I have found that the most amazing affiliates tend to be the ones you would never expect.REVIEWS

Everyone has their own techniques for finding a new affiliate program. Personally, I like to look at TGP galleries, and other webmaster promotions, in search of a new site that has not been promoted by every Tom, Dick and Harry. My thought behind this technique is that if another webmaster was impressed enough to take the time to build a promotional campaign for this program, it’s worth checking out. Now, this is not to say that just because another webmaster has built a gallery for a site that it will be a great money making venture, or that it’s a for sure bet that I will even sign up for the program. It’s just one of the ways I like to scout out new affiliate programs.

One affiliate really stood out for me last week, and I am writing this article to share my findings. Now, I will have to admit I have just added their links to a few different sites as a filler, and have yet to have any great and wonderful conversion statistics to share with you, but I have documented some of the bells and whistles of this program, and some of the features that caught my eye.

The program I’d like to spotlight is located at http://www.xswealth.com/, and from what I can see they have been around for about a year, and are used by a few webmasters that seem fairly impressed with their program (based on their chat board postings).

First thing’s first — money and payment options. These guys have quite a few price choices and processors for you to pick from. Choose between promoting via:

· CCBill – No Trial/$29.95 Monthly
· Epoch – $2.95 Trial/$29.95 Monthly
· Free Trial/Recurs @ $34.95
· 50/50 Recurring
· $40 Per Active Member
· 3-5¢ Per Unique 2nd page click through

They provide hourly and daily detailed stats through ClickMAN v5.2, and payment via CCBILL, EPOCH, and their own house accounts. OK, now the money and payment options are great, but what kind of sites do they have?

Their sites are aimed at a heterosexual market, featuring babes, amateurs, facials, and movies. They use a lot of Matrix Content material, so you know the members you send to these sites are going to be happy with the quality of the pictures and movies.

XsWealth Sites List:

http://www.3xgirl.com (hot babes, models, and pornstars) – Tons of examples on this site, which all convincingly lead to the join page. This tour rocks, and I expect it to be one of the best converting sites in the pack. Another amazing but true fact is there are no exit pop-ups on this site!!! I know that some of the super picky tgp gurus refuse to link to galleries that promote sponsors that have exit pop-ups (now, that in and of itself is another topic), so if you’re frustrated from getting your galleries refused, or just hate pop-up windows in principle, this is the site for you.

http://www.glamoursluts.com (hot babes, teens, anal, fetish, big boobs, lesbians, asian, latin, amateurs, audio, video) – Unlike the 3xGirl and Cum Junkies site, this one loads a pop-up upon access. I personally am not too fond of this technique, but I do like their one page tour design, and free samples with previews of what’s been updated.

http://www.xxxcumjunkies.com (cum lovers, facials, bukkake) – Now who doesn’t love a girl that swallows? It’s that fact that has always made cum junkie niche sites very popular, with high conversions. XsWealth’s facial site can compare with any of the others in its field. This site features a two page tour, with no pop-ups.

http://www.3xamateurs.com (amateurs, college coeds, girlfriends, housewives) – Well I don’t have much to say about this site as amateurs are not really my thing, and the tour doesn’t do much for me. There is a pop-up on exit.

http://www.sinfulmpegs.com (movies, babes) – This sites tour is a mock up of a real media player, which really gives the feeling that this site is all about movies. Again a nice site, with no pop-ups and worthy of your traffic.

http://www.123sextv.com (babes, teens, pornstars) – Now this site is a perfect example of thinking outside the box. You know all those poor people who got suckered into a web TV? Well XsWealth has found a great way to make them feel good about their choice in connecting to the Internet. This site is no more then a simple clean tour, with links to the always high converting Matrix Content, but its sales pitch is aimed at those silly people who love to pull out their credit cards for the newest and coolest thing, and hey, as Martha Stewart always says, “It’s a good thing”. Also, no exit scripts or pop-up windows on this site.

I find one of the most annoying things about finding a new affiliate program is going through the work of building a promotional campaign for their sites, putting the effort and time into it, and then finding out that it doesn’t convert with my traffic.

One feature that is becoming popular with affiliate programs is the fact that they have pre-built galleries for you to use in your promotions. I love the ingenuity on their part. Really, if it takes me two minutes to have a gallery with your content and my linking codes, and all I have to do is FTP it up and send some traffic…well, well, well… you’ve just made it worth my time to try your program out.

XsWealth offers this feature via their http://www.thedailynudes.com site. Simply insert your username# in the link generator to automatically create TGP and TGP2 galleries. This tool is exceptionally easy to use, and takes no time to generate great looking galleries, with their content, and your linking codes.

XsWealth also features a free host to promote their galleries and sites via — that’s right — free content, automatic gallery building, and free hosting. Now that’s a risk-free way for you to try out a new affiliate program! And, of course they have a 5% referral for webmasters.
