    Average Conversions in Adult these days.

    I remember when sales were averaging 1:250 on tgp traffic. Today's average? I have no idea, things have changed so much.

    I remember when you could make an avs and make a sale like 1:25 the same night.

    and then google would update, the SE traffic would come, and you could get nice terms coming in real fast and sales like popcorn.

    fuuuuck.... with the tubes I have no idea what a decent conversion is, haven't been freshening things up enough lol

      and then the blog thing blew up... I fucking hate blogs now.

      I have a bunch of sites to update, and I swear I am going to nuke all the blogs I find. Just because.

        I would think double digit conversions are like ancient internet history now, like wagons and horses.

              That.
              I have few niche blogs that average a 1:20 - 1:100 ratio on constant basis (for years, now). And then there is general stuff that can go up to 0:20.000 (after which I drop the sponsor )

                  Then don't update. I have blogs with 5 good written posts that gather even as much as 5k daily SE traffic. I haven't touched those for months and I don't intend to

                    Piracy bringing full scenes for free everywhere has no doubt hurt our business badly.

                    But when it comes to just conversion averages...we have to realize that a few other things are at play as well.

                    In the mid to late 1990's conversions were fucking low as hell...but if you think about it, EVERYBODY that was online then had money. Computers were expensive compared to today. Relatively few knew how to use them. So it was people with decent jobs and well educated who had credit cards.

                    Today? Everybody has a computer and a fast internet connection. God knows for every real potential customer today we probably have 10,000 people who are either Kids, Unemployed, Poor, or No Credit Card. And none of those folks are gonna buy memberships today.

                    I stopped worrying about conversion ratios back around 2003. I decided that there was only one number that really mattered: Net Income.

                        I actually was just thinking this exact thing. Like how many more people in general are online, many of which are broke ass freeloaders. lol

                        and yeah the tube thing...

                        But niche will always work if you do it right. I think I need to just push the foulest thing I can find.

                            I lost a handful of sites in the reality check network thing, so I am going to start over with a few things and need to figure out some new places to send traffic, long term. It's like the smoke is clearing a little for me with all the companies going under and sold the past few years. Who's left? lol

                            I've lost a shit-ton of sponsors!

                                direct/blind/trades/shit traffic is where the 1:10000 kicks in.

                                  Our best site was doing better then 1:120 till a year ago, now it is at 1:250, it gets good traffic though and not very much either so that helps.
                                  Our site is coming soon. It will be one of the best ever! I know so. Brian and Penny

                                    Niche stuff still converts good. But like Robbie says It's the net income that is the important part, everything else is just numbers.

                                      Review sites still regularly convert incredibly well. I've seen bestporn and Rabbit send 10 signups out of 100 hits before.

                                      I've seen a 404 pusher send 100,000 a day and he's lucky to get 1.

                                        Yeah I would imagine those numbers sound about right. Hmm never thought about a review site but these days that is probably the best idea if you want to push quality sites.

                                        I still have so many links out there to shitty old paysites still alive with crap member areas I am sure. Poor surfers. lol

                                            Why would anyone ever pay for porn when it said $1 and you ended up getting charged $140?

                                                    In the beginning'

                                                    Very little traffic and ratios 1-200
                                                    Then traffic grew and it became 1-400
                                                    Then traffic grew and it became 1-1000
                                                    Then traffic grew and it became 1-2000

                                                    Then traffic declined and it became 1-5000

                                                    But the solution is MORE TRAFFIC. LOL

                                                      Some are at 1:300 some at 1:2000. The ones I send most sales to are between 1:300 and 1:1000.

                                                          On my blogs that has most of the traffic from SE it is 1:1000 to 1:2500 on traditional niches, micro niches are better, but getting traffic for them is not easy for me. On my tube site are ratios extremely bad, but I use it most for promoting cams, so I almost don't care.

                                                            I consider anything below 1:2000 to be good nowadays... And that's just sad.
                                                            I'm just a newbie.

                                                                                But this is a good thread, and thanks to everyone for their replies.

I like to know how much it's worth per thousand clicks, so I then times by 1000, which can typically give me a figure such as $40.43 per 1000 clicks
