If you do find the secret formula it doesnt mean it will do well because webmasters might not find it apealling. most webmasters now and days dont care how things convert they care if they look kewl or not on there free TGP's


I could go on and on been crunching numbers for 10 years.
I understand. But let's get even more basic.

How many sponsors have the exact data of how many hits each hosted gallery gets?
How many have the click thru data.
How many clicks from the gallery hit the tour? And the Click Thru Ratio on every single hosted gallery?
How about sales. Hosted Galleries with the best signup ratio? Hosted Galleries with the most signups vs hits to the gallery? Or how about the galleries that received the least hits that converted best that should be pushed even harder?
Or something as simple as a list of their top 250 hosted galleries in order by sales or conversion ratio.

Having this information ready at our fingertips is absolute money in the bank. My guess is 90+% of sponsors do not have that data. I know we have some of that information and only because I have people working full time digging up the data for me. It should be all automated and WITHOUT causing server problems.
