you guys realize that your AVS site or the inital page the traffic seems make a HUGE different in your 'ratios' ? Join page ratios don't mean shit unless you compare them between identical sites to different AVSs.
For instance..
Webmaster A gets 1,000 uniques from google to his AVS site. He has a 2 page tour AVS... Main page is to tease and the 2nd page that explains they have to login to the AVS and more incentives to buy. 30% of traffic moves to page 2 and then 30% moves to the joinpage (100 clicks) and he gets 10 signups (1:10).
Webmaster B gets 1,000 uniques from google (similar niche as Webmaster A) to his AVs site (uses same AVS system as Webmaster A). He just sticks shit on a single page with many links to join the AVS. He gets 30% of that traffic to the AVS joinpage (300 clicks). He gets 10 signups (1:30).
Webmaster A says 'The free AVS I use kicks ass man 1:10'
Webmaster B says 'The free AVS I use sucks. I do 1:30. I hear other people do 1:10 with their AVS sites on god knows what systems' Both Webmasters are talking about the same AVS.
So in order to properly gauge your traffic you have to look at the first page (that is YOURS) that the traffic reaches (being first page that gets hits from SEs or clicks from a banner to your tour or hits to your gallery).
