I've also noticed some of these social networks starting to run Affiliate Offers now to, or are trying to get Affiliates to buy ad space through them as well.

We get 5 percent of our monthly income from virtual gifts. People -especially men for sure- like to get attention women they interact with some other things besides messages, winks... But I am not sure if it works in the same way for social networks. Hi Tim,
