          here, ive made a little simulation based on a random generator:

          This example assumes 50.000 hits are sent DAILY to a program converting 1:500.

          You see how results vary some days..

            No shit. I get twisted thinking about that exact thing. One day I will kick total ass and think "shit, if it stays like this all week I'm gonna clean house" and then the next day it's as if all my pages were 404s.

            When you figure it out, hit me up please.

                See what happens when you send smaller amounts of traffic.
                For example:

                25000 hits per day:
                http://www.mcredits.com/rand.php?hits=25000

                10000 hits per day:
                http://www.mcredits.com/rand.php?hits=10000

                5000 hits per day:
                http://www.mcredits.com/rand.php?hits=5000

                With 5000 per day youll go from 1:200 to 1:1500 or so..

                        Do you think regular shops have make the same $$$ every day? They may have the same amount of people going in every day, but profit varies a lot. The less traffic you have, the more it varies.

                            In our case the convertions never go up and down much, however ammount of sales can vary from day to day. Sometimes it double itself from the previous day, one of my affiliates told me that hundreds of reasons out there for such a divercity. Weather, politics, sports, hollidays etc etc. Still it makes this unable to calculate and predict exactly your future earnings.

                              Cause it varies.
                              Suffering arises from attachment to desires.
                              Suffering ceases when attachment to desire ceases.

                                Yes. Simple as that. Because it varies. Show me a retail store that has the same number and dollar amount of sales per day. It's not possible

                                Have you been spreadsheeting your sales and traffic by day? week? month? hour? The more data you compile as you go, the easier it is to predict somewhat sales trends. Plus it'll give you somewhat of a general range and you'll know better when there is a statistically significant rise or fall.

                                I think we often forget that we're dealing with people, and people are fickle as hell. Impulsive, emotional, quick to judge etc etc. Sometimes sales are great and it's hard to explain. Some days they just suck and it's hard to explain. But it's rare to actually have a statistically significant deviation from established norms.

                                  If 1:700 is the best you are doing, then I'd change sponsors anyway. That ratio is really bad.

                                        increase your data range. day to day of course there are going to be swings. examine month to month, year to year for accurate conversion ratios.

                                                The law of averages is constant only when there is enough data to actually calculate a real ratio.
