In Vegas, guys were showing me reports of member area traffic converting at 1-8, recurrings still at 3 to 1 vs initials. sites converting 1-200 off tubes.
These are awesome days for paysites. It's just a different world now days. I don't think we're seeing programs and sites going down as rapidly as we have the last couple of years. Things seem to have stabilized for a lot of people.
Vegas was a damn good show. My first in 8 or so years. Things are looking up for the ones that changed.

Hey Gabe
Good points.
Members area traffic is a diff ballgame tho than converting raw traffic.
I also find that once you have a member they can recur so it would seem that members might indeed be upselling.
I guess what you are also saying (and seen) is as long as you have a tube with big traffic you will generate sales and those will then upsell.
But Mr Markham is still fundamentally right as tubes are still leveraging traffic to reap a few remaining members.
Did they tell you what traffic (impressions) is needed to generate a certain number of clicks (ctr) to then generate a certain signup ratio?
Sure once you have a member all is fine but getting members.. is that easier or converting better on x traffic than 5 years ago.
Tubes are simply leveraging traffic. Ratios are sky high but as long as you have tons of traffic sure certain ones will always buy.
I could be wrong but I dont think I am. Anyhow thanks for the input.
