I wonder if all you guys say about the economy is the reason sales are down OR maybe the sponsors are scamming us by skimming orders?Comment
-
In my case the economy didnt mean anything as there were 15 submits at the join page and no signups. Normally that yields about 7 signups the two previous periods. But yes the economy hurts but not that bad really. $30/month isnt much for some people. But yes it hurts.
As far as shaving. The losers, yes I think it could happen. If they are losing altitude and know an impending crash is coming yes. But the winners. No. At least I don't think so or see it in my ratios.
Go with the winners. Nothing really has changed in 13 years for an affil. Look at your stats and replace the losers with more from the winners. There have always been winners and losers. No big deal.
All we have is our stats and hard work. But we are free to interchange links and today an affil should be jumpier than a flock of sparrows.
The winners want every signup and will pay for every signup honestly. At least I want to believe that.Last edited by Vjo; 07-12-2010, 10:34 PM.Comment

I was at a big factory the other day with a friend who mentioned to a lot of workers that I work with porn. Suddenly they started talking about which TUBE is the best. Youporn won I think. 5-6 of the guys kept cheering 'YouPorn'.
People don't buy porn anymore. They get it for free and why would they not.Comment

Small time/ newbie webmasters who make these stupid posts irk me. 15 submits is nothing ... its bugger all traffic and such a small sample pool that its idiotic trying to read anything into it.
There is a worsening of ratios, and yes it is getting harder to get a CC through the scrubs, but just because your tiny tiny little pool of traffic isn't converting doesn't mean much. I hate it when small time webmasters make sweeping assumptions based on their own tiny pools of data.IW

First of all the site and niche make 15 submits a factor.
Second of all 7 signups a period x over 50 sponsors per period and I live just fine.
So ASSuME all you want BIG timer.
Besides it isnt about how big you are.
I never said I was drawing conclusions to anything. Just gettinmg peoples attention.
I started with CE in Novemebr 1997. So I aint no newbie either.
Thanks for the bump.Comment

Sorry for my terse reply. Just saying that while you probably think your pool of data is big and 'worthwhile' .. it really takes a ton more traffic to be able to make reasonable assumptions about traffic trends and possible problems.
You may not be a newbie sure .. but i know a lot of people who started in 97 who are barely scraping together $500-1000 a month at this game .. when you started has little or nothing to do with things. Infact most of the 97-00 guys still around don't have a clue and haven't adapted. Just saying
Anyway back on topic ... yes there has been a definite downturn, more than in previous years during summer.Last edited by Sausage; 07-13-2010, 12:45 AM.IW

Threads like this are funny and the responses are typical GFY.
Damn my sales are terrible this month, what caused this:
- The summer
- World cup
etc..
Or is it possible that it could be: competition where ever you are advertising increased? or you working less? or a problem on your end? No....
When sales drop, come to GFY where everyone will help fill your head with bullshit excuses to explain why it happened.
Traffic can't be up, everyone is spending 2-3 hours a day on facebook and WOW and less time on porn. So traffic has to be down, you have to be wrong sir!
(im being sarcastic, I agree with you).Last edited by will76; 07-15-2010, 03:21 PM.ICQ: 86364801 Email: will [at] innovativeassets [dot] com

You are in Australia, so is it called a Winter down turn for you guys then? And then during your summer when less sales are made there it is our winter, so it's a winter slow down here? I can't keep up with all the down turns, its funny how if all of these down turns were true everyday would be a down turn for everyone and no one would have good days
Fact of the matter there is shit that happens every day, and if said shit really did affect porn sales by the nature of it happening everyday it would be an illrelivant factor 
Bad whether here, good there, summer here while winter there, those that look NFL not surfing during games but those who watch soccer instead surfing, during world cup no soccer surfers but nfl surfers still looking at porn. during summer too hot to go out people surf more, some people play more during the day, now surf at night, so people go out more at night, surf during the day. there is always something but people only key in on the "something" when they have a bad day.
congrats! you know why it was your best month, because there was good weather today j/k.... because you have been working hard I assume. The same logic why some people are doing worst than ever... still advertising the same shit the same way working the same amount of time doing it.

sales cycles
Come on guys. It's a fact of life. Sales are like slot machines. Sometimes they pay really great and sometimes they just suck all the money out of your pocket (and your girlfriends). Just hang out and keep running your business solid and the payout will swing the other way.
Good luck!

too much free content is to be found to easily with the help of google.
it doesn't matter that you promote webcams or dating because they already jerked off to free content they found so easily.
sub and micro niches are easily found on youTube because it is not considered porn - so going that way won't help either.
I found a few ways of making the same amount of money but I don't want to spit them out as long as they are working for me.Last edited by Zester; 07-16-2010, 06:29 AM.Comment

for those of you talking about last month only: you can't conclude much about one bad month, in this biz sometimes sales goes up and sometimes down.
you need to detect a trendLast edited by Zester; 07-16-2010, 11:32 PM.Comment
