According to Daizzzy of Signbucks Daily, the listing examines 12,000 paysites across nearly 2,800 programs on different platforms, and sets a new record for "explored" adult affiliate sponsors. The project took almost a year to complete and focused on CCBill programs because "CCBill is the most stable affiliate platform and most trusted adult billing [company]."

"Over that time we have checked each of 40,000 CCBill clients accounts (CA) which are set for each separate program, processed active ones and listed them into the directory," Daizzzy said. "We got nearly 2,400 active programs with 4500 paysites. We will continue to monitor that system for new sponsors and sites to promote as well as changes in current ones."

"We listed all active programs, no matter if have they commission for referring other webmasters (called a "partner bonus program" in the CCBill AP), or not," Daizzzy added. "The current ratio is 30 to 70 percent, accordingly."

The study found that most of the CCBill based programs were not saturated, and offer frequent exclusive content updates; which makes them a great substitute for oversaturated programs promoted on adult boards.

"Nowadays many of these well-know programs are into phony marketing on a very huge scale," Daizzzy said. "By getting a big list of quality programs (trusted because of CCBill) it gives all of us a chance to move the industry to business based on common sense — So a customer gets what he's promised without being charged for services he hasn't acknowledged and didn't purchase."

For owners of these lesser-known programs, a listing in the Signbucks Daily directory is an easy way to build a stronger affiliate base, while affiliates will find the listing useful in today's competitive environment.

"By exploring paysites in each niche we give webmasters an opportunity to go deeper into it, which is a great long-term business model strategy in this tube-era," Daizzzy concluded. "It's obvious that tubes, warez sites and other illegal sites won't be able to cover a micro niche as well as a specialized site."

Signbucks Daily is now focusing on a similar listing of all EpochStats programs; with Affiliate-Cash, Verotel and DhDRevX to follow. A selection of data modules will soon be added into the site's "Marketing Lab" section, along with the Top 100 affiliate programs based on Alexa ratings; list of blog directories; link lists; expiring domains; and more.
