Finally, the final results of a Hun listing

Okay, it's taken me several days to go through the stats after I got listed on thehun.net

It's not what you'ld believe.

Actually you figure getting a listing by the top site in the universe would be a windfall. A spectacular moment that could make a guy.

Well, just the opposite happened. Not the Hun's fault, all he did was listed a gallery of mine he liked. That first day I got more hits in one day than I get in two months.

For 2 months straight my stats were going up fast. Doubling income, tripling income etc. Then as soon as the Hun listed me stats dropped like a rock. It's very, very, weird. Normally my site just sells itself. Oddly enough the less traffic I get the more signups I get. It's freakin' weird.

Some of you already know and have been helping me pour through the data to see what exactly happened. Some suprising things have come to the fore.

One of the affiliates I used on the gallery suddenly went silent. Weird. I found out later why. I must've gotten more emails in two days asking if anything converted than I get emails from family asking how I've been.

What I've learned here is that submitting a gallery to a big site like The Hun's is a specialized action that calls for being on one's toes. A gallery submitted to The Hun's is not the same gallery you submit to Joe's Discount TGP (that's a joke, if there really is one you know what I mean )

So having gone over the data the next time I try to submit to a big site I'll know how and what to do.

Quite the enlightening and adventurous experience to say the least!
