Number of Sponsors - Many or Few?

ArtWilliams · 2004-11-11, 01:12 PM

I've shown my ugly mug a few times here but I am still relatively new-bie.

I've made a few test free sites in my niche (mature, MILF and granny) and I have now built my hub, a fake TGP ( http://www.mature-milf-porn.com ) which will accept traffic from my free sites.

I am now filling the hub with free hosted galleries and later will add my own free sites and own TGPs.

Is bigger better? As part of my hub, should I sign up with all reputable sponsors with free hosted mature galleries or "cherry pick" the best? What do you do? Also, same with banner, text and other types of ads? Do I take a shotgun approched or be selective? (I have a banner rotator program so its not like I'll have a banner farm.) Finally, some sponsors seem to be very popular in the MILF category but their product is over exposed. Should that be part of my hub's free galleries?

Any advice you might give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a slash and burn approach to selecting most of my sponsors. If I see that they have FHGs, then I sign-up just so I can populate my multi-niche TGPs. But most of them don't have a product that I would attempt to market with my free sites due to over exposure or shitty tours. I'm currently only pushing just a handful of sponors, but I'm an affiliate of many.

For my free sites, I look for programs that have paysites that I find appealing which have tours that look like they can close the sale. I've seen a lot of sites that sound like they have some good member content, but if their tours are lame, the surfer isn't going to whip out that bid fat hard credit card.

I'd sign up for as many programs that fit the niche as possible - more variety for the surfer should keep them coming back each day

you can sign up to as many sponsors you want..but you need to consider also if they convert well.

im signed up for dozens, but only promote a select few. the thing to remember is to not put all your eggs into one basket as they say.
