I am trying to calculate if it is worth it to use paid hosting for galleries.
Would this be totally inane:
Size of complete gallery = 1 MB.
Suggested conversion with sponsor = 500:1 ($35 per signup, non-recurring).
Bandwidth pricing = $1.08 per GB.
Example:
100K unique visitors = 100 GB. traffic. = $108 expense.
To cover those costs, I would need 4 signups (4 x 35 = $140)
With 100K visitors and converting at 500:1, I would need
4 x 500 = 2000 hits to the sponsor. That is a CTR of 50:1.
Meaning that 1 out of 50 (or 2K / 100K) will click my sponsor
links on the gallery.
I plan on driving the traffic to the galleries with Russian Submitter
and submitting 2-5 by hand.
Comments? Are my numbers way off?
Is the expected click through rate inaccurate?
