How many times has this happened to you?

I sign up for a new program (not necessarily new, just a program I've never pushed before)
I test it out with some traffic, and it converts like gangbusters.

So I ramp up the traffic a little bit more, and it still converts like gangbusters.

So now my eyes are filled with $$$$ after the first two weeks, so I wage an all out campaign to promote the site(s), and then the conversions go to absolute shit.
From 1 in 250-500 to 1 in 5000-10,000.

This has happened so many times with so many programs it's not even funny.

There are some programs that are so consistent that I could set my watch by them, they always convert within a certain range (plus or minus a standard deviation) and have for years. Same thing goes for paysites I've owned in the past. But 98%+ of the new sponsors I try follow the exact same pattern I've described above.

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm
