1:800 unique today and 1:950 yesterday over 9 niches
For example in these last 3 days I have links on a page targetting "gangbangs" and I had 4 links to tcg's gangbangmodels including the 1st text link on the page and havent got a sale.I have 3 links to topbucks gangbangsquad and had 6 sales in 400 uniques.
I am not complainung,its just interesting.
My conversions are way down on what they used to be with all my sponsors so its probably something to do with my sites.

I have noticed a big difference in being no#1 for a serp and being no#6 or 7.Also Yahoo traffic converts 3 times as well for me and I have lost a lot of traffic there.
Cheers.

The ratios you gave, are those based on your first page clicks you send to your sponsors or is that the stats that the sponsors report to you (ie: TCG's 2nd page uniques)?

And you seem to be right about the SERP's lately. I have a #1 on a great high volume keyword but its not converting all that well. It seems being 3-5 was doing more sales than #1. Go figure. I guess with the large volume of traffic comes a lot of curious free loaders. That keyword I'm only getting 1:500 right now, but the volume that comes with it makes up for it. Most of my keywords gets a 1:100 - 1:300, all Google and PPC traffic.
