Which I'll tell you actually that does work. And I think that is how I will start choosing every site from now on. You cant think like a wm. You have to think like a surfer. What turns you/them on.
Its like these staged looking hd tours. They are in hd and technically good but not really that hot and they tend to convert poorly.
We must not forget. They are not joining because they are doing us a favor, or cause it's hd or whatever. they are buying because it turns them on. Only reason.

Vjo my man!! You gotta ICQ me sometime so we can take this Bromance to a whole new level (and then i can talk more openly, too).
But here's what's happening with me, which is a wee differant from what affiliates go through, but similar (Wee Differant was going to be my porn name...)
Sales ROCKED for the first 3 weeks of September, record-breaking, but now this last week of September sales are so-so (at best). I have some theories as to why it feels like a cc processor has "flipped the switch". here's a hint: Anyone remember Enron and the energy scam that happened in California?
So what I do now is add new sites to the network so that's why I'm saying it's a bit differant for me: add new sites, sales go up up up. BUT my "steady performers", proven winners already on the network, have indeed "returned to their statistical normalities". So what i do when i see these patterns is I add another site to the network. LOL I wonder sometimes how FLAT my sales actually would be if I wasn't constantly growing....
Now for some "real world" possibilities (and not some industry-insider type of factors):
Summer is now officially over so many people are back into "school and work mode".
College students are just getting "settled in" to start their Fall semesters
People are taking a breather before the next crazed 3 month shop-fest known as the 'Holiday Season'
End of the month usually means more sales but sometimes I've noticed, depending on the time of year (spring, fall) end of the month can mean: tapped out.
Anyway, there's some comforting "real world" possibilities for ya. But mostly I say it's the economy. "Recession over" my big fat right nut!
