If so it might be helpful to share the number of join hits for each period so that it can be tied into the data. If you see a swing from 37% join submits to 8% then that would be one thing if the join hits were nearly the same but it might mean another if the join hits during the period where you see 8% were 5 times what they were in the period where you saw 37%.
I see oddities as an affiliate even so I'm definitely interested, but I think it would help to provide some more data if you can.  |
Thanks signup for the input as I really respect your analysis and take on a variety of things.
Here is the missing data and I would really welcome your input after you check it out...
april 2012- 589 form hits 50 form submissions 8.49% form submit percentage 37 approvals 74% appr%
april 2011 - 275 form hits 101 form submissions 36.73% form submit percentage 53 approvals 52% appr%
april 2010 - 462 form hits 89 form submissions 20% form submit percentage 80 approvals 89% appr%
april 2009 - 899 form hits 240 form submissions 27% form submit percentage 178 approvals 74% appr%
april 2008 - 184 form hits 71 form submissions 39% form submit percentage 55 approvals 77% appr%
april 2007 - 58 form hits 25 form submissions 43% form submit percentage 22 approvals 88% appr%
april 2006 - 532 form hits 203 form submissions 38% form submit percentage 161 approvals 79% appr%
april 2005 - 1040 form hits 267 form submissions 26% form submit percentage 212 approvals 79% appr%
Now look closely and you will see form hits all over the place but form submission average percentage for 2005-2011 was a solid and respectable 32%
32% is the average form submission percentage! This is a crucial number to understand...as it shows regardless of traffic, affiliates, content....the average over 7 years for the month of april was 32%
So the monthly average form submission % dropped off a cliff for the month of arpil 2012 right after a record march 2012
again 32% average for april dropping down to 8% is not a *normal* drop based on the historical data...anyone coming in and telling you it is...well they could very well have other motives
let me also add that subscription price was posted clearly before the join form so you do not have to click to the form to get to the price... Something caused surfers to like the tour and price enough to go to the join form, however once on the join form something made the surfers change their mind for the month of april.
Maybe sloooow loading join forms for the month of april...I don't know but something does not add up
