Just a few god aweful ratios. List goes on and on. Back in 2004-2006 sales were always great. Since the arrival of the tubes and shit traffic, it has all died.
Sales are dead for my niche anyway. Only ex gf traffic(which there is not enough SE traffic anymore for this niche), and niched sites makes sales. Dating sites are even worse these days for sales. I would rather make money in other ways then to rely on a pipe dream.
The scary thing is I bet those are your normal conversion rates and not just the rates on popunder traffic, right? Yes it really is that bad for most affiliates. A handful of programs still convert at an acceptable rate. The rest are garbage. 1:7000, 1:10000 and that kind of thing.

It's sad but most of us could make more by putting up ads for the Playstation 4 rather than to try to sell paysites. Crazy but what else can we expect when it's available for free with a couple clicks? I'm shocked that I still get any sales to be honest. I'm thinking these people would be prime targets for various scams too. I bet some of the more shady programs are using their email lists to market mainstream scams. These people would pay for anything if they would pay for porn in 2013!

Those are the the ratios he sees. It doesn't necessarily mean he is driving sales and revenue only at that rate. Shaving, shitty tracking, cookies disabled, surfers typing the url in instead..
