What is your take on promoting Online Wallets like Neteller/Skrill etc. I haven’t really made a dime in several months. I am really thinking of just taking that part away. But it on the other hand it is an interesting thing to promote as:

And also, when you finally get a customer it doesn’t seem to generate that much in the end.
Is it worth it?
Short answer ? No. It’s not worth it.
Slightly longer answer …
I use e-wallets all the time. They are great and I have pages recommending them on site with affiliate links. But the thing that makes them great (low fees) is also the thing that means that it’s not a great deal for affiliates.
Moneybookers pays 20% of fees for a year, which is a little low percentage but OK that’s their deal, however, they cap their fees to players at just 0.50 Euros and even if a player makes 10 transactions a month that’s still just 5 euros and only a single euro to the affiliate.
And the one year thing really cuts in. Because it’s likely that the real value is in having the players who have long term accounts – as they are likely to be the active and heavy users.
We still list e-wallets, and recommend them, as a service to players. But in terms of an affiliate revenue stream it’s very small compared to gambling – probably less than 1/10th of 1% of revenue.
:whoa:
