Agreed again.
Our monthly, overall, sales remain solid. However, how we get to those numbers... membership, clips, dvd, has changed. But it's taking more effort on the marketing end. Also tweaking some things back, and front end. As well as in production based on feedback.
I think those who are down ungodly percentages are simply not adding in new tricks, and just trying the same ole same ole. Getting the same ole results or worse. The surfers and people of the net are getting better educated on how things work. More information out there on how and where to do things.
They are not stupid sheep dazzled by your naked lady. They require more in 2008.

I should have said ratios, rather than sales in the topic....
ratios have definitely gotten worse, it takes more of the same traffic to reach the old numbers... sure this is the way the game goes but my traffic has steadily converted roughly the same for 3-4 years... this year things have started to dwindle A LOT as far as ratios are concerned
of course i will adapt & move to different things... im just looking for that connection between the current economic crisis and ratios - there has to be one
i suppose its pointless but if we were to find out that high risk transactions were being scrubbed very hard at a higher level because of the credit crunch then at least i could have some peace of mind knowing that my traffic hasn't really went to shit & people do WANT to buy but just can't
i wonder if any processing companies would be able to step in and confirm/deny that denials are significantly higher these days vs this time last year
