Come on people, counting conversions thru second page clicks is just another way of camoflaging shittier conversions. People who say you do 1:70, seriously how many do you send to that first page to have 70 second page hits?

And furthermore, is it the advertiser's fault if people don't click thru to the second page or is it the sponsors?
I guess it'll have to go both ways, if the advertiser advertises the site the right way without blind links, and if the tour entices the surfer to click through

But still, my main rant is about sponsors gloating about 1:70 conversions when they're calculated with second page uniques. Who the fuck are you fooling?
Step up to the plate before you attempt to call me a liar. I am counting front page clicks...Not 2nd or any other page. Try it with TGP traffic then come back and call me a liar again.
