    Conversion ratios are way down!

    What's the deal with conversion ratios? I'm not getting shit for new sign ups over the last month! Anyone else having this problem?

      I've heard from a couple of other big free sites, and a couple of my biggest sponsors that business is slow right now, I just want a broader opinion to see if my sponsors are ripping me off or not. Maybe I made too much money with them last year. It is tax time afterall.

        Instead of learning the art of conversion, you should probably learn the art of Service With A Smile

            I don't really pay attention to conversion ratios, but overall things have been slow this month.
            Rebills are humming along fine but new sales are down a good bit for me.

            When I was talking to my sponsor about it he told me everyone that he's talked to (other program owners) have said things are slow right now.

                  Summer slowdown, christmas slowdown, tax time slowdown, any others?

                  Is there a month of the year where there isn't anything to blame for slow sales?

                          Shave down is also very important and is usually all year long

                                    Fact
                                    The market is growing more slowly than the past, fewer new Internet signups from people who use credit cards in countries that pass scrubbing

                                    Fact
                                    There are more porn sites then ever including thousands that give the store away for nothing

                                    Fact
                                    The economy sucks and there is worldwide fear of a war

                                    Fact
                                    In January people face Christmas credit card bills

                                    Fact
                                    Due to Visa and MasterCard fines processors are scrubbing harder than ever

                                    Fact
                                    Things were much better when Bill let Monica suck him off in the WhiteHouse

                                                Theres only two reasons.

                                                1. theres way too much fucking porn out there. Anyone that has been on the net at least a year knows exactly where to find free shit.


                                                2. the processors are in deep shit
                                                Ever notice that pretty much everything added to the Constitution after the original was a mistake.

                                                    People say that each and every time sales go down. Then, a month later, people start pulling all time highs.

                                                                    Check this out, if you made 20k the first year on one sponsor and then the ratios started declining, shouldn't you be growing enough to compensate and at a minimum make the same amount the next year? My main sponsor ratios dropped over 2 years to about 1/4th of what they started at. However, I can still make the same amount of money or more because I exanded enough to make up for it. If you have been in the biz for years you should have made up for it somewhat.

                                                                      People! Porn lovers are everywhere. If you are scared of the free porn on tgp's, and the number of adult webmasters slowing you down you aren't doing everything you can to get your piece of the pie. This is the only business I see where so many people think "oh shit, all these porn sites are taking away my customers"

                                                                      People that are willing to pay for porn will do it over and over and over. Same as any business in the world. Adult video stores would have died long ago if people bought one movie and that was enough porn to last them a lifetime.

                                                                                          Those conversions have held steady on all our sites...our reality sites are even better.Do the math guys 1/20 conversion on our free sites(which is our average,many people do ALOT better) @ 1.00 is the same a 1/600 at a PPS paying $30 dollars a join...if your conversions are worse then that with your current PPS upsell your losin Money.

                                                                                          Let us worry about the upsell..lets us worry about filtering the traffic to make $$. I encourge you to give us a try.

                                                                                            Those conversions have held steady on all our sites...our reality sites are even better.Do the math guys 1/20 conversion on our free sites(which is our average,many people do ALOT better) @ 1.00 is the same a 1/600 at a PPS paying $30 dollars a join...if your conversions are worse then that with your current PPS upsell your losin Money.

                                                                                            Let us worry about the upsell..lets us worry about filtering the traffic to make $$. I encourge you to give us a try.

                                                                                                    Then about 2 months ago Magick comes along asking about TGP traffic and how to get gallery builders to promote Insite programs.

                                                                                                    We talk for awhile and I ask her about my check. She looks up my account, has no idea why I haven't been paid, and tells me I'm getting a check fed'exed the next day.
                                                                                                    That was 2 months ago, still no check.

                                                                                                    I could care less, its only $100. But webmasters should be paid automatically, they shouldn't have to ask for their check.
                                                                                                    And when they do ask and are promised a check, they should get it in a timely manner.
                                                                                                    sig too big
