how many active membrs you have?

are you asking me how good our recurring is?

anon affiliate (10:29:32 17/03/2007)
i thing how many membrs, who realy promote you. I think you have aprox 4000 membrs but how many realy work

anon affiliate (10:29:55 17/03/2007)
becouse you have very good ratio

ME - aka spazlabz (10:31:18 17/03/2007)
wow, that is a hard question to answer... we do have quite a few webmasters promoting us but i am not really sure how many I would say are aggressively pushing our sites... part of that responsibility is ours... we need to provide the affiliates more tools and we are working on that.
.
and thank you, yes our sites do convert very well I wish more people knew that


He went on to tell me how much money he made and that is not something I would divulge here, but he is doing quite a bit better then breaking even and I actually hear stuff like that quite often. There is money to be made as an affiliate and you don't need to be a guru to do it

I would point out that for many affiliates breaking even is pretty easy to do since their investment is very little. So all of the above is really just ink.

edit: for it to make any sense at all, you should post some amounts. Because we have no idea who it is, there is no privacy issue. This post is useless without numbers.
