FlashCash ratios suddely went to shit ?

Ok, so my ratios all of the sudden became like 4 times worse than they used to. It happened pretty fast - in a 1 day period.

FC crew balmes it on "summer slowdown". But coming from Search Engines my traffic is steady in both quality and quantity . And I have same amount of join page click-thrus.

So wtf is happening ? Has anyone else noticed the same ?

I know. I would've believed in it if the traffic dropped off during summer - but it stays the same.

What, surfers click thru to join page and then don't buy membership because they're less horny in summer ?

a myth perpetuated by god knows who, although this stupid thought continues year after year and is the perfect exscuse to fatten the bottom line on unsuspecting affiliates. I am in no way saying thats the case here, BUT it's the case in MANY programs way of doing business. Seriously what are you gonna do? Pull links? Thats about it, and yours will be replaced by someone else who believes in the "summer slowdown"

the summer slowdown is no myth
its existent... but not as heavy this year as a few years ago

but the summer slowdown is not the reason for ratios to worse that much in a days period of time!

Same can be said for holidays. Not everyone was celebrating the 4th of July everywhere in the world, but look at your stats or ask other webmasters and they will say traffic/sales were very low that day. If not, they're lying.

Unfortunately, summer slow down is not a myth.

Is summer slow down even real? Every summer people say that, and to be honest my sales don't really ever change at any time during the year.

i too have noticed that my ratios have went from approx. 1:100 to 1:350. I wonder what could be the problem. I know they are not shaving. They have no need for that kind of BS. Any answers FC?

It's unfortunate when the slowdown is on, the PPC world never gets a corresponding slowdown. Not that I've seen anyway.

i've never understood the significance of when you registered at gfy, in relation to having a clue.

summer slowdown might hit traffic numbers becuase people are out and about instead of being stuck inside on a computer, but if your getting clicks to join pages how does it being summer affect signups.

There IS a summer slowdown...but it seems programs are making webmasters BELIEVE it affects sales ratios.....

Try the program below if you are sending any 4free traffic and see how other webmasters are getting paid 5+ cents per TRUE 1st page RAW...

even in the summer!

well
tell us about your experience in this business then
show us how long you've been doing it already
how about you give us some numbers to underline you know what youre talking about and actually have something to compare
the lucky signup a day makes it indeed hard to define whether there is a slow down or not, eh?

idiot

yes I am here to validate my ongoing business to Trax. What would you like? Screenshots? Referrences? Phone numbers? Get real meathead. I lost 68k from Babenet along with a million other people, lets not mention the 43k from PSW.

Yes, my July 4th signups were cut in half, but no because of ratios - it was because i had 50% less traffic on these days.

But right now my traffic is steady - and convertions went to shit.


Summer Slowdown = Less Traffic. Not shittier convertions.
