If our promotion techniques suck in general you would expect our overall stats to reflect that. And this guy has sent many thousands of hits so it's a rather large enough sample in my opinion.
Even if he is sending a hundred hits a day to each site, wy does that matter exactly? I have sites I send 30 hits a day to with consistent 1:300 ratios. They are niche sites and getting highly targeted traffic which is tough to get. There's no logical reason that I can think of to explain why 1,000 hits spread out over a month should convert worse than 1,000 of the same quality hits sent in one hour. The only thing I can think of is bots. What do you have in mind with this that I'm not seeing? It doesn't make sense to me so I'm really wondering what you know that I don't.  |
I'd say that it's true that focusing your marketing (that's what I'm reading as his point) should generate more sales.
In this case I have sent a ton of traffic to the wrong site and then a tail of sites (where two has converted with good ratios).
But if I had two pay sites where one wasn't converting at all, and that affiliates were still stupid enough
(that'd be me) to keep sending traffic. I'd direct it all to the good site and share the cut with the affiliates
