So as you can see, my results are way off. Although my sponsors are total niche, they've done VERY well for me on other tgp sites, but those were also gallery spots, not blind links.
I've already spoken to DrinkingHard and made some adjustments to the links, hopefully they'll pull more traffic and in turn sales. He's very helpful to change things around. I think competing with 38 other links though, there's simply not that much traffic to go around.

Same with me. I bought one link which converts consistently for a year but didn't get any sales in the first week. I changed my link to something else and I've made $75US on it. Weirdly enough, I got 2 signups(at $25each) in the first 24 hours of switching it and only 1 since then.
I won't make my money back, but that comes with any advertising... you have to try things out first then go with what works the best. When I first bought the spots the original screenshot showed, teen, hardcore, mature, etc and that they were forsale. When they were being sold, I thought it was those links exactly that were being sold. At that time there were just 2 lines of links there and it was easy to read. Now it's almost 5 full lines or 2-3 word descriptions that are all screaming for attention and that has definitely affected the amount of click-throughs.
Maybe I read the original thread wrong about the spots but it seemed clear that they were 1 word links to a particular niche being sold and now there are links in the niche I thought I bought exclusively going to sites I compete with.
