There is nothing worse then sending traffic to a program that has done exceptionally well in the past and then all of a sudden goes ice cold. I think we have all been there and I'm sure we will all be there again haha!

In my own personal situation (before GTS) I posted galleries and I posted a SHITLOAD of them. I was promoting mostly revshare (COHF) and it was doing awesome! Don't get me wrong this is not a spam thread for COHF (but I do recommend them!). Conversions were going fantastic and then all of a sudden they dropped to like 1:1000 and then down to 1:2000... All of you know this feeling and it sucked! But an old submitter once told me the hardest thing to do is to watch your ratios sink but the best thing to do is to keep your eyes off your stats and work harder. So I did exactly that... Soon enough the ratios turned around and things were good again. By promoting one program extremely heavily it did 2 things for me... One gave me a TON of pages out there in the archive of TGP/MGP's and also got me alot of SE traffic since I had so many pages out there.

So my advice to you new guys is to pick a good program that is doing well for you and to stick to that program. Don't be like the rest of the sheep that jump from program to program when things get bad. I call these guys "stock traders" because they simply jump on whatever the next big thing is when it comes out and then dumps it as soon as things get cold. Sure there are guys out there that can make it work but honestly my experience and what I have seen with our buyers is that if you stick to 1-2 programs and work them hard you will have the best chances of success.

Anyways just my 2 cents and I help this little tip helps someone out there.
