My personal site is not even listed in my sig so nice try. However the program that is listed there is converting very well. My own site has very few affiliates at all and the majority of traffic is self generated. I do not want more affiliates to my personal site.
I am also far from immune to issues that appear in this business. Never did I even lead on that I was. I just stated that I have indeed raised prices and also seen an increase in signups. Reason being it has nothing at all to do with price, yet you still do not get it.
Perhaps I have also been through several other business catastrophes before. Hell I can just reference owning a comic & game shop. Speculators and greed ruined that industry. Comic titles went from millions of issues sold on a national level per month, to the most famous titles no longer even breaking 200,000 per month. Fuck even Marvel filed for bankruptcy. However it was survivable if you operating properly. Games also took a major hit. The whole internet thing along with high end consoles did not help at all.
Or maybe I have based a business model off of bottled water. Hell we all can get quality water for free right out of several outlets in our houses or at faucets around towns. Yet others will spend a buck or two on a bottle, others ten or twenty, and even others fifty or more. Now why would someone pay fifty bucks or more for a bottle of water? Answer that and you will begin to get it.
