    Old Skool -- Anybody Remember 2005?

    Ref: https://web.archive.org/web/20070820...ecial2005.html



    Wish somebody had something like this running today.
    Would help keep some sponsors accountable and competitive.

    Congrats to the survivors.

      It would be of little use cause it's only showing his ratio. We have guys doing 1:5 and others doing 1:5000, if guy 1 would display a list like that we would look great while with guy 2 we look terrible.

          numbers don´t tell you anything when you do not know the rest of the way to the conversion starting at sources, promotion material and optimization flows.

                                          Are those with comparable amounts of traffic, or at least enough to be statistically significant? I think it was a certain man-pretending-to-be-a-milf that posted an awesome ratio based on about 3 sales.

                                          Wonder if something like (median_clicks_per_aff / median_sales_per_aff) might be more (broadly) accurate than simply dividing total sales by total clicks. (Any simple model is still going to be flawed for outliers, of course.)

                                                  Yes. Of course you do. As do a few other hardened battleaxes on this board. But GG's didn't post stats in 1997.

                                                  I discovered this biz in roughly 2003 when I stumbled onto iFriends. GG's stats helped me understand what affiliate marketing was/is. I remember pouring over those pages trying to fill in the blanks -- trying to pick the best sponsors -- all while not knowing any of the other important variables. Traffic, sources, methods, etc.

                                                  Thus ends my self-indulgent nostalgia trip.

                                                  The only way stats like GG's could be meaningful today would be if somebody like PikaPoka would publish monthly or annual ratios and EPCs from TPD. Then everyone could plainly see how each sponsor performs compared to the others in that same category.

                                                  We may not know his traffic, but his methods are fairly obvious.

                                                  Of course, it's all a pipe dream.
                                                  There's really no reason for anyone to go to the trouble.
                                                  So I don't know why I'm even still typing this.
