FAQs

What Is The World Dating Partners Program?
World Dating Partners was created in direct response to a growing need in the online dating market. Dating site owners and operators needed a means to create and run high quality, advanced dating systems that were flexible enough to enable their members to make contact with others who were ideally matched to them – whilst at the same time having the ability to manage the vast costs and technological complexity that such sites would require.

WDP’s first “client” was www.singlescrowd.com, and as word spread about what dating sites could achieve via our world-class system, we began to build-in extra functionality for each site that joined us, until today, when we have a system that provides an infinite variety of services, features and content, serving over 7,000 client sites.

The World Dating Partners System
World Dating Partners provides the administration system and database for some of the most successful dating sites that you see on the internet today, such as SinglesCrowd™ and gay2zed.com. You make money according to how well you market your site(s) and 2-tier partner programs (see below for more details). All the costs of maintenance, hosting, staffing and payments are our responsibility, leaving you free to concentrate on the marketing and promotion of your own business.

If you have an existing site, there is no need to change the structure, or the 'look and feel' of your site when you join WDP - all of that remains under your control. What we do is to look after all of the 'back end' processes - member registrations and administration, partner registrations and administration, payments, promotions, marketing, and reporting. Irrespective of your existing database format, we can usually integrate your systems into ours within a maximum of 3 to 4 weeks.

As a result of all this, your site has access to a greatly-increased membership, you have massively reduced running costs, and you benefit from our world-class development program. If you see a feature on another website that you'd like on yours - let us know - if we can't already offer it to you, we very soon will.

Why Do We Have An Acceptance Procedure?
This helps us to determine your specific needs and provide you with the partnership program that best meets your requirements, whilst enabling us to assess your ability to market our product to its best advantage.

The registration process
Once accepted for one of our partnership programs, you will be asked to complete a short registration form which includes agreement to our Partnership Terms and Conditions. During this procedure you will be asked to provide specific data to determine your unique needs and requirements. This process begins with more general questions, for example whether you want to host a general dating or adult dating program, followed by more specific questions such as the exact type of site you need, the geographical region you want to operate in, and the language base you will require. Finally we will ask you to provide your banking details and information on how you wish your commission earnings to be paid to you each month.

How Do I Customise My Site?
Much of the criteria that you stipulate will be completed during your registration process. However, once you have registered, we will contact you to discuss your site further. It is at this stage that you can specify more detail about the design of your site - plus any other requirements you may have, including language settings or translation needs.

Does It Cost Me Anything To Be A WDP Partner?
There is no cost to you in setting up a WDP site designed around your specific needs. We will help you decide what type of site to choose (see below), enabling you to grow your business at the right pace, with the right level of complexity according to your experience and knowledge. For example, we can initially help you to build a great income from a pre-designed site, before helping you move on to something that is more customised and complex once you’ve gained the necessary experience. This is why we carry out our simple but effective acceptance procedure.

What Are The Different World Dating Partners Programs Available?
We currently offer 5 different types of partner program, which we have specifically designed to cater for a broad variety of needs. Our 5 partner programs consist of:-
- Content feeds
- White-label sites
- Co-branded sites
- Pre-designed sites
- Geo-targeted banners

Read more about the differences between these programs below:-

About Content Feeds
Integrating new content couldn’t be easier with our state-of-the-art personals engine that provides compelling, powerful content, to give you an ongoing and increasing revenue stream. Incorporating comprehensive tools and management features to facilitate further customization, you have around the clock access to an extensive online business administration centre plus backend support from a team of over 40 staff.

About White-Label Sites
Our immensely flexible White Label sites are fully branded, customised and designed to your specific requirements, and incorporate a range of payment solutions to suit country specific categories and can be written in any language. White Label sites allow you to establish and develop a successful business without the overheads, merchant accounts, programming costs, staffing issues, anti-fraud systems, customer support and accounting services usually associated with owning a large dating company. In other words, you concentrate on the sales and marketing, and we do the rest!

About Co-Branded Sites
These sites have all of the benefits of White Label sites, but have slightly less customization options, to help those partners who are operating on a lower initial marketing budget. Both White Label and Co-Branded sites incorporate an extensive administration area which provides detailed demographics and statistics, and other accurate data to help you calculate your marketing strategy.

About Pre-Designed Sites
Pre-designed sites offer a fantastic fast-track option, and incorporate all of the benefits and high earnings potential of our other sites. Plus you have access the same sophisticated administration facilities and payment system.

Geo-Targeted Banners
If you want to generate immediately high conversion rates, and the resultant high income, our Banner Program is a tremendously simple and proven solution. Developed using Flash technology, it incorporates advanced geo-targeting.

Can I create my own logo?
We don't expect all of our partners to have the necessary graphic design experience to create their own logos, so if you’re having difficulties in creating yours, you can either select from our pre-prepared catalogue of logos, or alternatively you can email us at contacts@datech.ltd.uk for help in creating one.

Can I Use My Own URL (Domain Name)?
You can choose the way in which you host your new dating site, it’s entirely up to you. There are curently two options:

Your own URL (domain name http://www.yourdomain.com/). To do this, select the correct option in your set-up procedure for using your own domain on your own web space or web server. Our program will then create a web page for your new front page, which will magically generate the rest of your website on your new URL whenever visitors click on all related links.
You can use a "virtual" URL that we create for you automatically. Our program will generate a unique domain name for your personal use (you require no technical knowledge in making this happen). This domain name remains yours as long as you remain with WDP as one of our preferred partners. The set-up costs you nothing, and it provides you with a special web address in which to host your new dating site. An example of this could be: http://american.singlescrowd.com/.

How Do I Promote My Dating Site?
We supply you with all the tools, resources and help that you may need to promote your site effectively. Plus we are currently in the process of creating even more resources, so please check back soon to see more details. In the meantime, please feel free to contact us at any time regarding your online marketing. We are always here to help!

How Do I Get Paid?
All commissions are paid on the 1st day of every month, by either bank transfer or cheque, depending upon your preference. The minimum amount that we release as a first payment is $100/£100/€100. (It is economically inefficient to make payments below this amount).

If any membership fees are later refunded to the customer or are charged-back by the customer, or if a customer's cheque is returned by the issuing bank, we will deduct the referral fee from the subsequent payment that we send to you. World Dating Partners reserves the right to terminate any partner whose site(s) generate an unacceptable level of charge-backs or bad cheques.

Your Own 2-tier Partner Program
The World Dating Partners program is structured as a two-tier system for our partners. In other words, we provide you with the facility to offer your own two-tier program to others. This means that you can recruit your own partners, and earn 10% from the revenue that they generate.

Under this system, anyone looking to join an affiliate program can sign up through your own Partner Program - it comes built-in to your site when you sign up with us - and all the revenue that your partners generate contributes to your earnings. (Some of our partners find they earn more from their sub-partners than from their own dating sites).

This is one of the most powerful weapons in your marketing arsenal, and we strongly advise that you take every chance to use it. There is an enormous amount of material available on our Partner Support site (you'll be given a login to this once you are accepted as a Partner) that provides you with tips, techniques and tools to promote your own Partner Program. And of course you have 24/7 access to WDP staff who are always available to share their wealth of knowledge with you, and provide you with support and encouragement every step of the way.

All Partners that join through your site will become a sub-partner of your own main site. So, the more banners you have on other sites, and the more links into your site, the more money you will make. It takes a little work to create a good network of link exchanges, listings and inclusions on other sites, but once you start to build it, and more importantly, to get referrals from high-traffic sites, you'll see your income grow at an excellent rate.

Terms And Termination
The terms of this Agreement will take effect upon signing-up to the program and will cease when terminated by either party. You may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by providing us with written notice of termination.

How Can I Contact You?
We are available to all of our partners for questions and assistance at anytime; you can access our contact information by clicking here.

What Is The Acceptance Procedure?
Everyone that applies to join the World Dating Partners program is subject to a screening procedure, to ensure that only serious applications are accepted. We have a world-class reputation regarding our partners’ success and this is due, in part, to our pre-screening procedure, which ensures that you’re equipped with the right skills and knowledge to make your dating site a success. In this way we encourage only professionals and serious enthusiasts to join our elite partnership network.
