Conversions are very low (or that's what stats shows), some months, hundreds of real registrations with active users with no sales. Sometimes you have chargesback from users higher than comissions (or that's what stats shows), so you have TO PAY THEM. Too much fails on affiliate's panel and stats and support give random answers but they do not solve anything, it seems they are kidding you. It worked well when I started with them years ago. Now I'm sending more traffic, more registrations, more countries, I have more websites and conversions are lower ¿? Now is one of the dating affiliate programs less profitable.

Scammers
March 24, 2018

Fake profiles, fake messages, extortionate charges for non-payment, threats of debt collection and misleading email campaigns. If you sign up for free then they send emails saying people sent you messages. Then you sign up but you still cannot read. Unless you go VIP. Then you find they are all fakes. Then if you cancel they will demand surcharge and threaten further action. Steer clear.

When you're close to receiving commissions, they carry up your payout minimum amount. Very dishonest company. Stay away from this website, whether you are an affiliate marketer or a dating consumer.

Incompetent and lazy!
August 27, 2021

I joined the site, added a photo that i use on my work CV's so it's just a full face photo. My profile just listed my hobbies and interests which were sailing, theatre, dining out, camping.
It was a very short profile because I was going to do a more interesting one when I had more time.
I received a message straight away from a member, I answered explaining I had to pop out but would chat later. When I got home, I tried to log in and couldn't, so I contacted help.
They emailed me the next day to say my account had been deleted because of reasons that could include: explicit content, harassmen, fraudulent activity, black listed etc.
I emailed back to say that there must be some mistake and I would be grateful if they could they look into it.
I received another email from them saying they won't be looking to restore my profile.
There wasn't any explanation, and obviously didn't bother to see they had made a mistake.
Sadly this incompetent company oversee a few dating sites.
I am at present contacting the head of the actual dating site that I became a member of. Because they shouldn't be allowed to do this to innocent people, plus the company using them will be losing money.
I would like to state since this has happened to me, I have heard they have quite often done similar to members.
BEWARE STAY AWAY FROM THEM!

I have several domains which would have fit perfectly on the DatingFactory, as their site is seemingly put together well for potential affiliates. I reached out a couple of times to them via their online contact form but NO REPLY. That sent back a 'red flag' to me and I subsequently found negative reviews on SiteJabber and thank those who took the time to post reviews - as it has saved me from wasting more of my time with them. STAY AWAY!

They commit to a purchase, but, never pay. Send many invoices and get zero response. Just tie up your inventory. About as unprofessional as you can get.

I joined relatively recently as a partner and over the past few weeks I've started seeing and noticing things which are questionable and was wondering if anyone could provide some feedback or clarification about it?
If you're a partner, have you noticed a discrepancy between Google Analytics User Flow tool (which allows you to see a flow chart of user's page visits) showing users visiting the payments page and then member chat pages and other unknown pages, and the reports on DF which show no payments? I find this suspicious when you also consider the fact that you're not allowed to freely browse all the pages of your website and at least see the URL of the payments pages. Are they taking some of the money for themselves until I acquire a pre-determined number of live members?
Also, other affiliate businesses like Clickbank at least have the option to process payments via companies like Paypal so that the company cannot see your bank details. With DF you have to give them all your details and there is the option of adding photo ID!
Has anyone noticed these things I mentioned above?

I have been working with Dating Factory for 5 years now and I never had problems with them. My account manager is a big help for me and helps me with everything I need for my sites.
I 100% can recommend them to anyone who wants to start up a white label dating site.

I`M AN AFFILIATE AND I`VE EMAILED MY REFERRER(even though noone referred me), ACCOUNT MANAGER(also skyped account manager) AND 5 OTHER DEPARTMENTS WITH NO REPLY AT ALL. I joined my own site as a member and got a reply to a question the day after. Absolutely crap waste of time. I got someone else to join same time as me as a member and we both got the same emails from df and same email of 2 people. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE. I`ve also got a GOLD member who pays every month, yet my account only goes up 2 or 3 pence every so often, sad.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITES UNLES YOU WANNA LOSS MONEY. AND THAT COUNTING FOR ALL DATINGSITS "SCAMS AND FRAUDS" they all will let you sign up elsewhere an let you pay for every other datingsite out there.

If you ask me the best places where you have the most chance is in bars and clubs.
Datingsites are a big SCAM

My experience with Dating Factory Limited stems from their affiliate Expatica Dating and they are behaving like scammers - the Expatica dating site is a fraud. I was stupid enough to fall for the whole "you need to upgrade to read messages" plot and I regretted it the next day. I have not seen a single true profile, and I have been a member for over 2 months! I have received ca. 2-3 messages per day, but ALL of them were from fake accounts, when I wrote back there was not one single reply - let me repeat: I WROTE BACK to somebody who sent me a message first, but then miraculously did not want to contact me again? And that happened not once, but every time?

Their cancellation policy is hilarious - you have to send them a printed out and signed form per fax! Just to be on the safe side, I have not only cancelled the membership to this fraudulent scheme, but also my credit card, because these people are just not to be trusted. DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY OR YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION! You will get nothing in return, only frustration and then anger when you realise you have been scammed!

Please do some research on the global online dating fraud - fake profiles, how they lure you to pay for nothing, how they fake whole websites (they call it "pre-populated" dating websites - which means anyone can rent a dating website from them and they will make it available to you with hundreds of pre-existing fake profiles and then split profits with you) with only monetary gain in sight. They don't care how they get the money, it's a criminal behaviour.

Take care!

Scam...
September 18, 2020

It after 3 moths take 44 eur. I just want So it take 88 eur about!
And not possible brake this thing.
And video service not work. Girls not talk then i wrote to it.

Pavyko atsisakyti automationio pratsimo. Bet vis tiek praktiški praradau 90 eurų, o nieko ten tokio nėra. Tai yra pazintysuzsienyje tinklapis, bet jis veda į datingfactory. Nieko gero, kainos kosminės, daug, manau ir feikų visokių ir agavimai yra, neva tau rašo žiutes, o iš tikro, atrodo niekas tau nerašo, kai sumoki pinigus, kad galėtu atsakyt ar perskaityt žinutę... Nors čia ne visiški apgavikai aš pasakyčiau. Jie, manau, dirba legaliai, bet nutraukt narystę ne taip paprasta, Bet vistik galimą parašius į anglišką support'ą ir paieškojus nustatymuose... Tai tipiškas dalykas kaip ir kituose saitose, tau autoatiškai iš kitų profilių rašo visokias neva žinutes, bet realūs žmonės ten nieko nerašo, o apgaudinėja, kad tarsi tau pastoviai rašo merginos. Ir kaip būna okiose svetainėse dalykas, kad automatinis pratęsimas, nors tu nenori jo, bet sąlygose tai parašyta, bet tu ju neperskaitei... Jie prisiriša prie tavęs, o paskui sunku jų asikratyti. Jeigu tokią schemą naudoja, tai man čia jau panašu arba arti apgaulės... Ir ima didžiulius pinigus už ora, videopokalbiai neveikia, niekas iš normalių nebendrauja, kažkokius nebent ištvirkimus siūlo ir už tai ima didelius pinigus.
