Hello Kind Sir!
A week or so ago you gave me some advice: buy targeted traffic then post your results here.
Okay, well, I've bought traffic in the past with horrible results. LOL Geo-targeted traffic from Traffic Holder and a couple others. I've sent that traffic directly to my paysites (worthless) and then to my Network site, where all 35+ of my sites are displayed. Again, worthless. So I don't think buying traffic will work for me, unless you have some specific advice/principles that would help (I can't afford to just buy and buy, hoping I'm choosing the right type of traffic, niche, geo, etc).

Since I'm asking I'll include Point #2 (which is more broad and may be of interest to more people):
I've notcied, since about April, that I'm starting to see wild sales swings. For example, Fellucia Blow is incredibly consistent, amazingly so, with her traffic. For months and months she would average about 1:500 conversion rate, with steady sales of around 15-20+ a day. There would also be days where she would make 40+ sales when the traffic was super-heavy.

Now, I'm seeing good days like i described above immediately followed by 'dead days'. So: Tuesday gets 22 sales, Wednesday gets 3! By Thursday the 'average' returns. But I've never seen days like these before! And they're happening every week.

Finally, what I've noticied and done is switch my cc processors, basicly 'toggle' between CCBill and Epoch when i notice one of those 'dead days'. Yesterday was one such day; 12 hours with CCBill got 2 sales - 3 hours with Epoch got 4 sales!

So what do you think is going on? I'd love to stick with one cc processor and stop all this confusing switching but it's how i seem to make the most $; leave it with one processer all week long and I get 5 good days, 2 shitty ones. I'm thinking it's a put-through issue, or scrubbing, or Visa, or the banks...LOL

Thanks mate!
