If this is true, WOW.

On a side note, it's been a couple years or so since I sold my adult network of sites, but there is still a trickle of traffic going to my all of my old affiliate codes that were never replaced.

This is going to hurt; are you guys ready?

According to statsremote, this year and last year my affiliate code sent topbucks a total of 36,093 UNIQUES. From that, there were 2 sales for a whopping $70. Most of this traffic is on links a few years old, or older, and mostly from old free sites and SE sites. But $70 from 36,000 uniques?

When I was actually "in" the adult business and during my prime, TopBucks was my best sponsor, and I must have received close too $100,000 in checks from them over the span of a few to several years. During those good years, I remember fairly consistent ratios of around 1:600 uniques overall, and some reality sites were much better. But the past 2 years it was 1:18,000 uniques from old links. That says something not only about Topbucks, but also the industry.

To be fair, because I loved Topbucks:
ARS this year on old links is 0:14000 uniques
SicCash this year is 0:2384 uniques.
Platinumbucks 0:1361 uniques

I only have a handful of new sales off old links.

Scary for those only in adult.
Well, maybe my traffic didnīt like the sites, I donīt know. I do not expect to make 250 sales with this sponsor, but Iīd be happy with a 1:850 or similar, heck even 1:1000. It is indeed scary reading your ratios :P The worst part of all this, is that all sponsors will hurt, even with mobile sites, cos freaking pornhub on its mobile version is already giving away free mobile movies, several minutes long... so I guess that as Jacko said "This is It". Please the last one turn the light off.
