      yup that is why I don't promote them on bonus days. I'd rather promote a sponsor that pays $25 a join and my conversion ratio stays solid.

          To add to that I'm also thinking of only promoting programs that are serious about making my traffic work for them. The programs that I can get someone on the phone, etc to get things done fast. I spoke to many people at WA, you being one of them that offered that.

            bonus days = everyone pushing the given sponsor/site = more competition for the same sites = lower ratios

                Hmm kinda odd hearing shaving accusations from someone running a big program. Pretty new to me actually.

                          I couldn't agree more, and I don't buy the "more competition" excuse either.

                          If I send 5000 join page hits to Sponsor A ( their count) and avg 2.5 sales.

                          And one bonus day I send 5000 join page hits to Sponsor A on bonus day and AVG. 0 sales, I start to have issue.

                          IMO I think most would feel a decrease in traffic to tours and join pages on bonus days, he recognizes he just left that site earlier and doesn't choose to go on the tour again. Once the surfer is there the difference should be minimal at best.

                          My issue has never been Sales Dropping on bonus days, It has been NO sales on bonus day. But I digress.

                            Can't say I've had much luck on bonus days either. =/
                            SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                              Some sponsors let it rock on bonus days. you just need to know which ones to promote.

                                    Yeah, I got feeling some advance shaving techiques are applied when BONUS days come.

                                      I remember back in January there were Platinumbucks $50 weekends. I sent 1k adwords traffic to about 8 sites on one Saturday and got 7 sales, but then on Sunday with the same traffic my stats showed nice round donuts... Weird to say the least.
