To FHG on not to FHG?

[Xstr8guy]

UKnakedmen just had it's first birthday. And boy has our baby grown up! We are truly proud at how much we've grown in the past year and are making plans for our second year of growth.

We have quite a few CCbill affiliates and we credit them with much of our success. We also have Epoch on a separate tour but just a handful of affiliates. And we haven't had much success trying to convert CCbill affiliates over to Epoch. But then again, we haven't really tried too hard.

So anyways, we are kicking around the idea of offering FHGs through Epoch's MPA3. Would that entice anyone to switch?

And what kind of hosting package would we need? I know that depends on the size of a program. But what would be a good estimate? Are FHG's really prductive enough to pay the bandwidth bill anymore?

For me, FHG's are a huge advantage as I will not host sponsor-provided explicit free content without a copy of the model's 2257 documentation in my local database (which sponsors almost never provide). So, the simplest way for me to showcase a sponsor's explicit free content is in a FHG.

You know, I never even considered that angle in this particular discussion. Thanks for bring that up. I have had a couple of potential affiliates ask me for freehosting but refused their requests.

It totally depends on why you want to use FHGs in the first place, branding, sales, to attract more affiliates, etc.

That being said, if you are only going to offer FHGs on one of your processors, it would make sense to offer them on the processor that more of your affiliates use, otherwise, you'll have to end up creating them twice

We are not interested in cutting checks ourselves. So going the route of buying/leasing NATS/MPA3 is out of the question. Unless CCbill starts offering NATS then this is going to have to be an Epoch-only program.

Which would mean you should go with CCBill instead of Epoch for your FHGs, otherwise you are only creating work for yourself that isnt going to maximized to its potential, as you already stated, you have more CCBill affiliates than Epoch ones, why would you do something that is going to ostracize your biggest group of affiliates? :eek:

I mean, they chose CCBill over Epoch for a reason.

And how do you propose I do FHGs with CCbill without NATS, MPA3 or some other affiliate management software?

it's very VERY easy to do fhg's through ccbill - you can either -

1. activate multiple linking urls and have the affiliates link to
http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clic.../fhg/gal1.html

or

2. use a follow me script, which is so easy even i did it right the first time.

But again, why are you wanting to have FHGs? For what purpose, are you wanting them to say to potential affiliates 'look we have FHGs'? Are you wanting FHGs for TGP owners to generate sales? Are you wanting them to further brand your sites name, etc?

Why are you considering launching FHGs, regardless of which processor you'll use for them?

I didn't answer your question because I didn't think it needed an answer.

We wouldn't it be for all of the above stated reasons? I did mention in the original post that our intention was to grow the site.
