Attention: Qpid Network's member sites are online dating resources and do NOT contain pornographic content.
Tip 2: Target your traffic and allow search engine bots to access your site content
Qpid Network's clients are men of all ages with high incomes ($100K pa or higher) residing in developed countries (North America, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand) seeking to date beautiful ladies from China, Southeast Asia, Russia and Eastern Europe.
The following countries generate the highest revenue streams:
United States
United Kingdom
Canada
Australia
France
Norway
Germany
Netherlands
Sweden
Italy
Futhermore, to maximize your potential for commission, it is important that your site content is accessible to content crawlers of various search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN.
Tip 3: Choose the right content for your website
Websites about dating, relationships, love and romance have the highest conversion rate from leads to sales. To attract the maximum number of clients, your site should cover the topics relevant to Qpid Network (international dating, marrying foreign ladies, phone calls and live chat with beautiful ladies from China, Southeast Asia, Russia and Eastern Europe).
Tip 4: Promote Qpid Network member sites with the right keywords
Create a useful, interesting, content-rich and keyword-rich section on your website. It is important to not mislead clients by promising them something they will not find on Qpid Network's dating websites. We strongly advise you not to advertise Qpid Network's sites using keywords like "sex chat", "girls for sex" or "escort girls". This approach never brings good clients with high conversion rates. Instead, we advise you to focus attention on the "women for marriage" group of keywords. Don't forget that your client's ultimate goal is to find his sweetheart and get married.
Tip 5: Display your banner ads / text links on the first page
Place ads and text links such that they are visible on the first page of your site. This ensures that all your visitors see the ads, which will increase the opportunity for clicks.
Tip 6: Try different ad formats
Not all web pages are the same. So try using different ad formats to complement the various layouts of your web pages - Text Links, Banners
Tip 7: Create pages that are simple and clean
People typically skim a website for less than a minute. Ensure that visitors to your site can find what they are looking for and are not overloaded with clutter. Readability, clear navigation and loading speed all contribute to a well-designed website.
Make sure that your font colors can be easily read. Use a font size that is easy on the eyes and visual clues such as bullets and horizontal lines to make your site easily understood.
Tip 8: Monetize your website traffic and increase your revenues
If yours is a newly launched website, Google, Yahoo! and MSN will soon index it and start sending you traffic. Perhaps in 3-4 months' time, you will be receiving 100 visitors a day. To boost your conversion rate i.e. visitor-to-sales ratio, try little experiments one at a time. Try changing the heading on a page, the words, the colors, the placement of your links. With each change wait until about 1,000 visitors have seen the change, and monitor your commissions to see if they increase or decrease. If 1% of your visitors are buying and tiny changes boost your success rate to 2%, you will DOUBLE your commission!
Tip 9: Request your payment at the right time
Payments are calculated monthly starting from the 1st of each month. Before the 16th of the following month, your commission will be calculated and displayed in your Qpid Affiliate account accordingly.You can request the payment to be sent once the unpaid balance displayed in your Qpid Affiliate account is greater than $50 USD. However, in order to minimize the service charge of the payments, it is more cost-effective for you to send the payment request when the unpaid balance reaches a large amount.
Payments will be sent between the 21st and the 25th day of each month. So if you send the payment request before the 20th day of that month, you can receive the payment in that month. Otherwise, the payment will be sent in the following month.
