I've had basic tracking active on my webcam affiliate account for years, but I only just added in specific grouping so I could see all-time sales for traffic coming from a specific site/campaign.
I expected TGP traffic conversions to be shitty, but not this shitty.
1. 100% blind traffic from teen TGP - a trickle from June 2006 (nearly 6 years),
21977 hits, 7 signups, $12.65 payout. $0.57/k, $1.81 per signup
2. General TGP traffic redirected to dedicated webcam landing page - from January 2011 (21 months),
141620 clickthroughs from the page, 22 signups, $36.66 payout. $0.25/k or 0.025c/click, $1.67 per signup. Funny thing is this traffic was pre-filtered, so only english language browsers with cookies and referers enabled saw the landing page. Without this the conversions would have been even worse.
I should add that I do MUCH better with non TGP traffic... I still have some members from the early 2000's generating income.
So yeah, if you have a half-assed tracking setup, maybe you should look more closely at how your traffic is performing. This traffic would have only been worth a few hundred max if sold via a broker, but it's still a few hundred effectively lost.
