I totally agree with snow on every aspect of what he says here. I just have a couple of things to add to this.
Let me first apologize to you mediaguy, I seen this thread last night but I had so many windows open and was doing some other things so I didn't get to get back with you.
Ok, first off, as I said, Snow was right in that quality means ALOT!!
Also though, the way you promote a dialer has alot to do with it too. Take my sites for example, I posted pics and banners and images, whatever on there and it worked like shit. I never got one download.. and then I did it with some very erotic text ads, it improved a bit. I then tried "just download the fucking viewer already" and that did a bit better.
HOWEVER, these things don't work on every site. You have to play with it and see what works best for you. I could go and hunt up the biggest dialer webmasters in the industry and have them come here and each would give you a different stragedy of what works for them. It's all a matter of your traffic, your sites and so on.
I have two guys for example that make a ton of minutes a day. one does it with blindlinks on his links list and does well, so I mentioned this to the other guy, he tried it and his minutes dropped....... same area in line of traffic numbers. THAT guy then tried images and started killing on minutes.
So in short, it takes a bit with a dialer to see what is going to work best for you. BUT and I can't stress enough, don't throw it up and say that it isn't working. try different things and different methods. And as someone said, give it at least a week. some give it 2 weeks. but don't think it's going to work in a matter of minutes, it doesn't usually work that fast.
Thanks and so sorry to babble.
