		<description>Hi Martin. In short - yes to all! 

We&#039;re currently doing a lot of work in our own system with CRM, optimisation and general improvements. Which are having a positive effect across the board, giving us best results promoting our own sites rather than others, or those on white label platforms.

However everything we&#039;re doing boils down to what makes us the best profit over individual member lifetimes, so that includes cross promotions and up-sells. This in theory can be to any site or service. Currently we&#039;re focusing on those where we can white label to our brands and work on rev share, which generally gives us better results over the long term, compared to joining a affiliate network and working on shorter term CPA&#039;s. We are using WLD and other service providers in different niches for doing this. 

In terms of actual values I don&#039;t think it&#039;s overly important as we&#039;re not trying to be a dating site company which most of WLD partners are, we simply want to use them to boost our profits and concentrate on our own sites. Of the promotions we&#039;re currently running WLD is not the best performing, but nor is it the worst! And as I&#039;ve explained we don&#039;t market the WLD sites directly which will affect our results compared to others.</description>

		<description>Hi Tim,

are you still running sites on the WLD platform?

If yes, how do they perform compared with your in-house system?

Also, have you compared long-term earnings per click on the WLD platform vs your own vs some general CPA dating offers (Singlesnet, etc)?

Thanks</description>
