    I'm always completely amazed that there are such things as dating sites for the gay market. I just don't see a huge demand for it. Cruising sites always seem to me like a much more productive alternative.

    That reminds me, i tried out ManJam a while back and they did even worse than Fling or DatingGold did.

    If anyone knows of a good cruising site with an affiliate program attached id love to know about it but so far, ManJam is the closest ive been able to find.

    Regards,

    Lee

    I second that one.

    For what it's worth...I met my boyfriend on Men4SexNow. Or was it Recon? I can't even really remember. I know we each had profiles on both sites.

    At any rate...to return to the topic at hand, I've been an affiliate for ManJam for a little while now. I've got a banner up and a link in the side bar...and had no results. But then, I haven't really pushed it.

    I think DList looks promising, but it isn't clear to me if they have an affiliate program.

    Not to toot my own horn, but if you want to get in on the ground floor, I have a free dating section in MuscleBearCub.com and an affiliate program to sell memberships to the VIP Room. It's still a new site, but the personals are starting to catch on.

    If you're choosing sites to promote, sometimes the big, established sites are already to overexposed. You might consider promoting fresh new site.

    End of spam.

    A suggestion if you have the time, create your own.

    off the shelf scripts for a good one is $400 - banner ads make it more than worth while if you point your traffic to it for free join.

    I'm not sure I get the difference between using the term dating site vs cruising site ... can I get examples of what you consider a cruising site?

    Don't have the time - or the interest really in running a dating site, but thanks for the suggestion!

    I've always been openly gay. It would never occur to me to behave otherwise.

    Any site that asks if you have or want to have children is a dating site. Sites that ask for cock size are cruise sites (hook-up sites actually) Manhunt is probably the biggest hook-up site, but there are niche sites as well. Big Muscle is probably one of the most successful niche sites.

    Hey Guys, thought I'd hop in on this thread as it's quite interesting to hear all your views on the topic.

    By working in the "dating/cruising/personals" space, I've come across many sites that use these terms differently.

    For example, there are sites that promote "cruising" as an offline activity that involves public space such as mall bathrooms and public parks. I cannot wrap my head around that concept as I think of all the potential legal issues that might arise from posting public locations as a meeting ground for horny gay men to fool around in.

    For myself and the product I work on, cruising is a bit different. It's more cruising profiles for______ (fill in the blanks). We have an undeniable adult theme throughout the site but quite a few members actually join up for the sense of community and the ability to connect on various levels with other members. And the few emails I do get about guys meeting their boyfriend/ life partner is actually a nice surprise as again it is very adult oriented! But without a doubt, most men who sign up are for the most part looking to meet up with other guys, go into videochat and make/ watch amateur vids (who can blame them!)

    Guys visiting a cruise/hook-up site aren't interested in 'dating'... just sex.
