Details are slowing coming across the wire. Red Herring and a bunch of news outlets have contacted me today trying to make sense of the deal.
One of the questions I get asked most often is what is FriendFinder’s real traffic ranking?
12M visitors is what is officially published at ComScore, how much of that is spyware vendors? I expect Markus to chime in on this.
In the meantime, here’s a quote from Jack Mardack, Director of Marketing, FriendFinder, Inc.:
I can tell you that 180 Solutions has helped us acquire more than 10,000 new members since August 2003.
This was dated last year.

AFF gets huge amounts of adult popup traffic. These networks put up exit popups and onload popups so that a user gets automatically sent to the AFF site.
AFF has said had a statement on the site for the last 3+ years that they pay out over a million to affiliates monthly. Assuming the average affiliate is earning 10 cents a click (a very high number) that would mean they are driving at least 10 million visitors a month via affilate marketing.
I send AFF over 100,000 visitors a month and i know of several other affiliates that send hundreds of thousands of visitors a month. If i had to make a guess i would say at least 80% of their traffic is from is from affiliates, and of that over 90% is from adult webmasters/sites.
