    Can you file a lawsuit? Sure. Would you win? Probably not. Too many variables (your traffic, etc.).

    Would your lawyer win? Now that's another question ...

            What would you sue for??

            If their product is not what they advertise, perhaps you could sue for lost income as a result of fraudulent advertisement, but it's a long shot.

            Why don't you try to settle it with them, ask about the situation, see what is actually happened, provide evidence of your 1:800 conversion rate, and all before threatening legal action?

              its a hypothetical question
              since i am seeing more companies claim these conversion rates
              in their banner advertising and there are truth in advertising laws.

              So i was wondering if i signed up..
              promoted them..
              and didnt get their advertised conversion ratios
              if they are held liable for these claims

                That's their OVERALL conversion rate...not each individual webmaster.

                        yeah i saw it myself

                        What kind of advertising claims does the FTC focus on?
                        The FTC pays closest attention to:


                        ads that make claims that consumers would have trouble evaluating for themselves, such as:
                        ABC Refrigerators will reduce your energy costs by 25%.
                        ABC Gasoline decreases engine wear.
                        ABC Hairspray is safe for the ozone.


                        guess thats where it fits

                          Yes you can sue and it is a some what unique idea. If you are serious, with some effort, you may find an attorney that would take it on contingency. If he can verify that the company you choose to sue, has enough coin to make it worth his time, and expense. There are precedents for winning cases for false advertisment. It would do this industry some good to eliminate some of the BS that is spread by some people in this industry.

                            It is not misleading - anymore than lawyers who say "we have collected millions for our clients".

                            program xyz converts at 1:100 is a TRUE statement - as long as that is the ratios THEY are getting.

                            but of course you can sue - as someone pointed out - you can sue anyone for anything. I could sue the president of the united states for not giving me a red rose every morning.

                            And hey - with lensman as your witness - who knows - you could win millions.

                                      I am not the one considering a lawsuit, but I may discuss the matter with my attorney and see if the idea has any merit at all.

                                              honestly, adult traffic does like 1:150 or so, try some pop-ups/unders

                                                honestly, adult traffic does like 1:150 or so, try some pop-ups/unders
                                                its all hypothetical as i said..
                                                i just see people advertising these ratios..

                                                i hope this thread gets you some more affiliates though.

                                                  No, because I am willing to bet that they do not garauntee those conversion ratios.

                                                    Do you really think sponsors care?

                                                    I dont.

                                                    I see it more and more each day.

                                                    You probably wouldnt win.

                                                    Not to mention as I type this, there is a banner flying on this site that says

                                                    "My traffic doubled since I strated using your program."

                                                    Yeak ok.

                                                    Liars.

                                                      When a sponsor claims anything lower then 1:300 they are not talking about TGP traffic.
                                                      Sure a site can convert at 1:20 with SE traffic but not with TGP traffic.
                                                      I sent a lil tgp traffic to a site where they claimed to do 1:60 to 1:150 or so with tgp traffic...... so far doing 1:950 with their pre-build gallery and that 1 sale was a trial.
