Now before you start arguing the merits of what you do....don't....because I understand there's a place for what you do in this business and that you have a following.....but that following isn't going to come to you via review sites.
Sites that do well with review surfers are sites with multiple updates per day, a huge downloadable archive, and a low monthly price. Sites like those get a shitload of joins from review sites.
To be fair, you go to forums where people share stolen content (a den of thieves) and hear people say review sites are a great place to stop before you go get torrents. That doesn't make their opinion indicative of all review surfers.  |
That's not what we experienced at all.
When we opened the site in May 2007 we DID get pretty good signups from Review Sites. But the torrents and illegit tubes started eating at them just like they tore up my tgp business. I realized in early 2008 that surfers were no longer signing up for sites from my tgp's anymore (statistically speaking of course...I still get sales, but it isn't what it's supposed to be).
I see the stats showing that YES the surfers are clicking into the tour. But nobody was buying. And that's a year ago before the collapse of the economy. This month my ratio for N. America for instance is 1:6,225 That's a lot of people who are interested in a site, checking it out, and then NOT buying.
That's why I say that review sites are definitely a place that surfers do a lot of browsing and not much buying statistically speaking. In 2007 they sure did buy. But not in tube/torrent crazy 2009.
Oh, and by the way...we have NINE girls in our network. About to add a 10th sologirl. So our members have complete access to all those sites and the other girls sites are downloadable.
And no, all those big generic sites that you are saying do so well on review sites...I'm not so sure about that. When I talk to the guys that own those programs they tell me the same thing that I'm saying to you. Tubes and torrents have hurt them and affiliates across the board are struggling to send sales. Type in traffic is good for almost everybody. But a lot of that has to do with the fact that many people decided to "educate" the surfer and now every surfer in the world knows what an affiliate program is and what an affiliate link code looks like.
So now they do what I have always done...they type it in and get rid of the affiliate code.
