Exactly. I don't get paid in RATIOS. I get paid in $$$$.

Here's an example. And I said EXAMPLE so don't get all anal over the #'s.

2 galleries, same TGPs, same sponsor

Gallery #1 200,000 total hits 10% CTR 1:500 sign up ratio

Gallery #2 200,000 total hits 1% CTR 1:50 sign up ratio.

WHO made more money? Neither they both made the SAME amount.

Tell me the ratio of how many hits you go to your GALLERY and how many SU you got. That's the REAL ratio. Some sponsors only count join page hits, some 2nd page hits, some first page hits. So how in the fuck can you compare ratios using THEIR stats? I challenge ANYONE here to tell me they got 1 out of every 50 people that sees their gallery ends up signing up to their sponsor.
