Why do people think 1:300 is a GOOD conversion ratio? - GoFuckYourself.com

I guess bandwidth and time are cheaper than people commonly think

So if 1 in 300 is not a good ratio what is???

10-11-2004, 06:39 PM

Because it feels a heck of a lot better than 1 in 3000.

True, but wouldn't the low income be incentive enough to look for better conversions......or at the most basic, fine tune one's existing marketing in order to convert his traffic better?

kenny · 10-11-2004, 06:42 PM

All traffic is Good.

1:30 with SE traffic

1:300 with TGP traffic

TGP traffic 10x easier to get. So no real difference

LadyMischief · 10-11-2004, 06:43 PM

The more traffic numbers you are playing with, statistically you will require more hits to maintain the same ratiors.. 1:300 when you are pushing large volumes of traffic actually IS good.. anything over 1:150 with large traffic, and you have a phenom.

Doctor Dre · 10-11-2004, 06:50 PM

For tgp traffic I'd say it's acceptable ... but we are wasting so much traffic anyways

slapass · 10-11-2004, 06:52 PM

i like to see under 1:500 first page uniques, but a lot of programs don't report 1st page so their ratios are worthless.

server logs don't track clicks to sponsors. i typically go by sales per unique impressions. some sponsors have fairly accurate click counts.

I think 1:300 is a good ratio for TGP traffic

<-- Post 2000!

beemk · 10-12-2004, 04:06 AM

its good for tgp. depends on way too many different things though. if you have more/better links on a tgp gallery you can get twice as many clicks.

Everyone can do 1:300 from even the worst TGP traffic .. just make your ad say "BUY EXPENSIVE PORN HERE, $50 FOR A FULL MONTH, ONLY RICH PEOPLE CLICK HERE"

Ratio means shit!

Bike · 10-12-2004, 04:19 AM

there's nothing wrong with 1:300 ratio's

it all depends on volume....I rather sent 100k hits a day with 1:300 than 10k hits a day with 1:50

it's the amount of money you'll make in the end.

andrej_NDC · 10-12-2004, 05:06 AM

yeah, you cant compare ratio, depends on your CTR if its 1% or 15%, depends if the sponsor count 1st or 2nd page uniques. You even cant compare sales to different sponsors, because mostly they have different prices, some have cheap trial, some dont. $$$ is what matters in the end, but if you know your stats, ratio can be important. If you know you do 1:500 on 1st page uniques with a 5% CTR and then have a worse ratio, you know smt is wrong.

gothoes · 10-12-2004, 05:58 AM

I dont know how to classify my sites, but out of the sponsors that i get sales for, my ratios are usually between 1:60 - 1:100

Vitasoy · 10-12-2004, 06:12 AM

If you can get that for TGP traffic, then it's GOOD. But I don't really care about ratios it's all about how much you make at the end of the period.

KY Jelly · 10-12-2004, 06:30 AM

what if:

sponsor A has a conversion ratio of 1:100 with a payout of $20
sponsor B has a conversion ratio of 1:300 with a payout of $60

same to me.

And...
It's easy to get a 1:10 conversion ratio with Google and Yahoo. The problem is, how much traffic are you getting?

If you want more traffic from Google and/or Yahoo, either add less targetted keywords or increase your CPC. Meaning, either your conversion ratio or your costs go up.

Conversion ratios are different for everyone.

The right question shoud be: How much money did you make in the end?

We do, acutally all the NATS affiliates count clicks and we still see TGP traffic under 1:100. So, I can see why he would move to another affiliate if he was only doing 1:300. But it's too hard to judge without knowing traffic sources, sites promoted, etc.

heh, 1:300 is a good ratio if you are pushing tgp traffic, its a VERY good ratio IMO

J B · 10-12-2004, 06:54 AM

Ratios don't mean anything. When I buy e.g. 10,000 hits a day for let's say 5 cent per click and send this traffic directly to a sponsor that pays $40 per signup I make enough profit with a ratio of 1:300, i.e. $25 per signup and about $800 a day.

Of course I could try to get better ratios but some traffic just doesn't convert better. I rather spend that time to get another traffic deal with above profit
