If you run a porn site or similar site with lots of adult related traffic, the Adult Friend Finder affiliate program is probably the highest paying program you could possibly use. Adult Friend Finder is a sex personal ad site which has many features to help draw in subscribers.  They have multiple commission options to better suite your requirements.  They feature a minimum payout of $50, which isn’t too bad, but could be better.  They claim to pay out millions of dollars per month in affiliate payments.  Since they claim to have 20 million members, I don’t doubt it.

Payout options

• Pay per click - This option pays up to $1.00 per unique click through your affiliate link.  The rate is based on the number of free signups generated by your traffic.  The pay ranges from .5c to $1.00.  To encourage webmasters to get women to sign up you get credit for 5 signups for every female that registers.
• Percentage Program - This option pays a percentage of the sales for paid registrations.  The commission is between 35% and 75% for the initial signup as well as 35-55% of all recurring sales.  The rate is based on the number of sales your site generates per month.
• Per Order Flat Payout - This option gives you a flat one-time commission of $30 for each sale.

The Adult Friend Finder affiliate program also pays 10% commission for all referred webmaster sales.

The Good

• One of the most popular and highest paying affiliate programs on the Internet.
• Multiple payout options.
• Geo-targeted ads increases clickthrough rate considerably.  This is a huge feature in my opinion and is something that separates this program from the others out there.
• Earn recurring revenue when subscribers keep their subscription active.
• Many features to get more subscribers like picture rating, webcams, and much more.

The Bad

• Their affiliate site is a bit slow.
• Only pays via check as far as I can tell.

If you have a web site that will focus on promoting affiliate programs rather than selling items directory, I have found a great adult affiliate program. The company is called PEcash, and they have one of the best adult progams out there. They feature adult xxx dvds, vhs, sex toys, and magazines. They have some very good stats, tracking, and site setup tools.

The Good

• Varying levels of commission (you can choose). You pick your store’s price point and the commission is based on that point. The first tier commission is either 20 or 35%, the sub affiliate commissoin can be either 5% (if you don’t want 1 level below you) or 2.5%. If you choose that second option the tier 2 commission is 1.25% and tier 3 is .625%. As you can imagine that second option could add up to a lot of income if you run a popular site that refers a lot of webmasters.
• You get credit for re-orders even if they don’t come from your site.
• Provides advanced HTML features like doorway pages, popups, and other tools to increase sales.
• Provides a ton of banners of different sizes that target specific niches.
• Great stats and tracking. They’ll tell you how many people visit the site, including webmasters.
• Awesome color picker tool to completely match your custom store to the rest of your site.
• Minimum payout only $20.

The Bad

• They only send payment via check, unless your amount owed is over $5000 (then they will do a wire transfer for a fee).

Overall I’d give this program an 8/10. They have much better store setup tools than most, but their payout options are lacking. If you plan to promote this affiliate program to other adult webmasters I would give it a 10/10.

There are dozens if not hundreds of adult affiliate programs out there. There are some bad ones, some really bad ones, and a small handful of affiliate programs that are worth using. If you read this site enough you will see me recommend this particular adult program several times. Mallcom is one of the leading online providers of sex toys, adult dvds, and more. I have been using them personally on a site of mine for over 2 years and haven’t had any issues with them at all.

The Good

• 25% Commission for all sales referred by your site.
• 5% commission for all tier 2 sales (webmasters you referred).
• Minimum Payout only $17!
• Payment sent every month on the 15th for the previous month’s sales. I’ve never had it show up late.
• Makes payments via Check, Paypal, ePassporte, or Wire Transfer (fee applies).
• Over 30,000 adult products. There are enough items to make an entire site with a very specific adult niche.
• Realtime stats. They email you every time someone makes a purchase. No checking your stats or waiting for a weekly report with this program!

The Bad

• No direct deposit available. This isn’t much of a problem since they have wire transfer and paypal as well.
• No data feed available. You can link to their sections using the frame code they provide, but that makes optimizaing for search engines difficult. You can also create links to specific products, so this may be less of a problem depending on how you choose to setup your site. If you’re just using a banner to point to their store this is perfect

Score

Commission rate: 5/5 (25% & 5% is very good)
Payment Types: 4/5 (this would be a 5 if they had direct deposit!)
Products: 5/5 (over 30,000 adult items).
Linking: 4/5 (needs a data feed!)

Overall: 8/10. With a datafeed and direct deposit they would be a 10 for sure!
