PALO ALTO, Calif. — Adult social networking site guru Andrew Conru wants to find out if there is a correlation between driving traffic and driving a Ferrari Modena. The founder of FriendFinder.com will give away his sports car to the webmaster with the biggest increase in new memberships.

The contest covers five sites: FriendFinder.com, AdultFriendFinder, Cams.com, ALT.com and Outpersonals.com. The webmaster who yields the largest increase in free members to the five sites between Aug. 1 and Oct. 31 as compared to the three previous months — May 1 to July 31 — will win the car, which Conru says goes for more than $125,000 on eBay.

“We’ve run contests before but never with a prize as exciting as this one,” Conru said. “I’ve had a wonderful time driving this beautiful car but my schedule is such these days that I rarely get to take it on the road, so what better way to maximize its value than to offer it as a prize for someone who really wants to work for it in a way that can benefit both of our companies.”

The second place winner will receive $10,000 in cash, while the third place winner will get $5,000. Remaining prizes are valued between $1,000 and $2,000.

Details of the contest are available in the affiliate sections of the participating websites.

LAS VEGAS — OCCash has purchased the FreshChecks affiliate program, according to OCCash President JC Baumgartner, who told XBIZ the deal made sense for both companies.

According to Baumgartner, both companies have had a longstanding relationship, which facilitated the deal.

“Jaime [Galvan], who used to work at TripleXCash, has been a good friend of mine and Jay’s for a long time,” Baumgartner said. “When Jaime founded FreshChecks we gave him a lot of help, from consulting to advice on design. Everything just short of traffic.”

While FreshChecks managed to build a strong program, according to Baumgartner, the company lacked marketing expertise.

“Jaime and his investor approached us about taking over because they knew us and we had helped so much with the design,” he said.

The acquisition should bring a much-needed boost to the FreshChecks program, Jay told XBIZ.

“I think the potential is there to make it a really great program,” Jay said. “They gave the program thing a good shot, they had good sites, but they didn’t have the marketing to drive it home. We’ll use our resources to do that.”

While marketing was one aspect of the deal, Baumgartner also said the acquisition made sense from a content perspective.

“We have a strong interracial focus, which we will continue to have,” he said. “But they’ve got other sites with more niche content, which will be a nice compliment for our affiliates.”

According to Baumgartner, nothing but the name on the checks will change from the affiliates perspective, adding that the same payment structure will remain the same.
