Yea its freaky I'm hoping its some kinda of Error with mpa2, that is what I've been using with these new sponsors! The traffic is still strong but like all the sponsors I have been using and been making sales have stopped..

ProfitPrograms · 04-17-2004, 07:19 AM

I have no idea lol I don't use mpa2 for my site

ldinternet · 04-17-2004, 07:28 AM

It's the future!... I see...

90% of sponsor "sales reps"

(who coincidentally, don't have access to the stats master account) that reply to this thread will report that sales were at a record high last week for the program in their sig.

HEY I agree with that statement 10)% hell I use to say that shit when I fisrt started with virginia amateurs, Screw that I learned to be honest if im going to post about shit like that.. I read a fletch post where he basicly said he was tired of seeing sponsors post stupid shit like that when he knows in fact that they arent doing as well. lol

ldinternet · 04-17-2004, 07:30 AM

But anyway, yes, with the exception of Good Friday, sales have been lower in the past few weeks. It's not a big deal, it will pick up again.

chowda · 04-17-2004, 07:32 AM

sold two donkeys and banked it.

cherrylula · 04-17-2004, 07:37 AM

hey guess what just passed... april 15th tax day...

even the Los Angeles freeways had less traffic...

People busy filing taxes = not spending money right now.

slapass · 04-17-2004, 07:45 AM

nothing dramtical but i surely see a difference

jennycards · 04-17-2004, 08:12 AM

My sales are strong as usual ...

Maybe it's just your sponsor having increased the shave rate

felt it too.
same traffic, no sales
but only in the foot fetish niche.
do you too also feel it in that niche alone?

Pornopat · 04-17-2004, 08:28 AM

My sponsors have been doing bad as well. 50% on average with a low yesterday. Only made 10% of normal. It looks like I am back into biz today though....*knock on wood*

garett · 04-17-2004, 09:08 AM

I had a kate's playground gallery listed on the hun yesterday. This is the second one (kates playground specifically) that I've got listed there. First one got ten sign-ups. Yesterday got one. No shortage of clicks though .. I think ccbill may have been scrubbing hard yesterday.

petepete · 04-17-2004, 09:08 AM

At the moment sales are up here but I recall some periods - no so long ago - when everything almost stopped (my own sites and other sponsors). But after a couple of days it went back to normal... so hope it'll pick up for you too.

sales are steady i guess, CCBill declines are non existant for me so far. I like that for sure

some_idiot · 04-17-2004, 09:14 AM

Our sales are still going strong. Of coarse we do our own thing
and don't just release a site because the latest trend says we
should.

I'll take sustained steady cash flow building over the feast and
famine of playing follow the leader anyday.

BTW, the 4 templates you did for our hosted galleries are
converting GREAT.

Donny · 04-17-2004, 09:18 AM

Sales were normal or above for me all week, with the exception of yesterday. Yesterday was well below normal.

adjektiv · 04-17-2004, 10:10 AM

It is because of the AIDs scare. Nobody will buy adult content ever again because of it. Turn off your website now and save hosting costs while you still can.

Theo · 04-17-2004, 10:13 AM

i havent noticed any change

Ian · 04-17-2004, 10:15 AM

Traffic and sales a little slow this week.

riosluts · 04-17-2004, 10:17 AM

my sales stopped for yesterday for some reason. but the clicks still were coming

Trax · 04-17-2004, 10:22 AM

scrubbing at its best
no question

zzgundamnzz · 04-17-2004, 10:23 AM

Yeah, I've noticed sales drop this week

To be completly honest my sales have dropped on my foot fetish site yesterday by 20% i would say, today they arent normal but they are doing better.. As for other sponsors I havent made a sell since thursday that is why I posted this..

Wish I could say my sales for my paysite was at the top but that would be lieing *shrugs* THOUGH traffic to my paysite is down about 3k as well as my tgp site which was down by 4k around 2am this morning.. in 7 mins I will check to see traffic in the past 12 hours hope to see a increase *shrugs*

Thanks everyone that was honest

yea could be but I get alot of oversea sales as well as us/canada sales and my dialers have even been down on one sponsor guess its just that time kinda of got use to making so many sales a day and then bam lol

OY · 04-17-2004, 02:12 PM

It is for reasons like this (scrubbing) that we created MPA2 so that the sponsor can switch which processor is first, second or third in the cascade. The truth is, and we know this from years of experience, that the processors scrub harder on certain days of the month, block out certain countries some days of the month, etc. etc. etc.

This is not something that is easy to catch, obviously, but normally will be caught in a true cascade of processors.

I would ask your sponsor directly if they have experienced it overall or just for you as an affiliate - this way THEY can go in and see if a change in the primary processor would help. Often it does.

We see BIG differences overall in the % of sales that is picked up by the second and third processor when the primary is this or that.

Could be the reson, will look at the figures for this time last year.

www.paulmarkham.com has not made a sale all day,

which is strange because we sent out a newsletter for it Friday.

But sold the entire inventory on both site yesterday for $12K so not complaining.
