7/2 - 1 sale
7/3 - 4 sales
7/4 - 2 sales
7/5 - 0
7/6 - 0
7/7 - 0
7/8 - 0
7/9 - 0
7/10 - 0
7/11 - 2 sales
7/12 - 1 sale

That is PERFECTLY NORMAL... Look at last month, did you have 6 days (even if non-consecutive) last month with zero sales?

Now look at more sales on a larger valume of traffic,

7/1 - 56
7/2 - 89
7/3 - 64
7/4 - 23
7/5 - 18
7/6 - 21
7/7 - 27
7/8 - 14
7/9 - 50
7/10 - 67

Notice there was a drop and a ratio here that stayed the same. But this person still made money. What does that tell you? You need more traffic volume. How? Do what you did, only keep doing it more...

There is a cycle in most adult webmasters... You get into and do a SHITLOAD of work and make almost nothing, but the immediate excitement of making adult money sustains your shitty return on work provided. So you made $105 in a month, paid for hosting, domain name and Stats Remote and wow, you still have $50 left to take the old lady to Olive Garden...

3 to 4 months later you start making $65 a day. You think wow... cool... you take some time off.. something you haven't done in a long time. You start thinking about quiting the day job... You maybe over spent a little. You are taking your friends out to much... whatever... Two months go by and things are not getting better. You panick...

3 to 4 months later you are doing $150 a day easy.. You quit the day job and go 100% adult. You move it up to $200 a day and take a REAL vacation. You buy a car and a better cell phone. A camera so you can post pics here at GFY.

6 days come along and you ain't making shit. You panic and chew out your sponsors.. talk about how 'somebody' might be shaving and people ask for more info... 5 days and NOTHING and you are going NUTS... You are about the expose the offending bastards... Then... ohh shit... you surf your own shit to the sponsor and find out that your new elite software package is not url-encoding the fucking sponsor id before passing it to another script which enterprets it as its own setting and doesn't pass it during redirection... you fix it... You are making money again...

Or something you made in your second month just got picked up by Yahoo and MSN.. (FUCK GOOGLE)... Bamb, you are making $300 a day and don't give a fuck about that sponsor anymore.. oddly enough, the next day it kicks in and you are doing $500 a day... now who is going nutty over spilled shaving cream?
