Why have you not...

Okay folks. I have a serious question here that I want an HONEST answer about.
We see people complaining about poor conversions out the yin-yang all day. And yet there is little effort in expanding horizons to try new things and gain additional revenue.

Everyone who signs up and puts up the links are happy with the steady income. By placing a BANNER or a small NON intrusive text link, you are not LOSING traffic, only gaining sales.

This is not just a shameless plug for Wishing but a real question about why you stick to selling ONE thing or promote ONE niche, or sell JUST porn as opposed to other sex related products - even SEX TOYS!

Answer the poll truthfully as I am interested in the answers.

Oh yeah... HERE is the shameless plug: Click Here to earn $500

I never did great with them. I tried selling viagra, penis pills, erase your tracks security software and I never made more than a few bucks pushing them.

I hear others do well but it hasn't worked for me so I dont push them.

I promote a lot of stuff besides sites. I'd like to find a pharmacy sponsor which actually ships the product to qualified surfers. My biggest concern on both sites and alternate products is that I don't want to advertise anything to my surfers which they might be disappointed in or might feel does not live up to claims.

It's about maximizing $$ made on each qualified buyer.

In SOME cases you can add to your revenue but in some cases you send the surfer off to a penis pills site that you make less on that converts shittier than paysites... I believe in many cases you can deter a potential paysite buyer into something that doesn't perform as well thus losing money.

I'd like to hear more opinions though about this - does it add or take away or make no difference.

If porn is your main product and traffic source - do you add:

casinos, pills, etc?

Just something I ask my self: What will happen if you advertise a pill or healthy program and one of the people who will buy and take the stuff will run in a serious healthy problem. Could you be responsible for this, because he/she got the stuff via your link or via your partner program page?

On the same note if you sell a guy porn and his wife catches him and they get a divorce because of it, are you not equally guilty?

Same difference.

As for mailing it.... yeah so what. Everyone mails PORN too. But that doesn't stop people from promoting it on the net.

There is a flip side to every argument.
