Have you ever had a BANNER convert at 1:35 ? - GoFuckYourself.com

Donny · 12-28-2004, 01:10 PM

I recently found a mainstream site that I like. I asked if I could place a banner on their site that would link to DonnysGirls.com . To my surprise, they agreed.

The banner is converting at 1:35. I'm amazed. I think I'll look into more mainstream marketing. I guess you never know which sites will allow you to advertise on them until you ask.

And, no, I'm not gonna reveal my "find". So don't ask. I'm keeping it all to myself.

Not too bad, what type of "mainstream" site is it?

Your sig is driving me crazy...would you mind removing it? ;)

baddog · 12-28-2004, 01:18 PM

yeah, I have. It helps to have a banner that hasn't been seen all over the Internet

My sig converts better than that...

Did they let you use the banner with the animated pussy lips?

When Videosz first came out I bought 250k impressions at ircspy.com for $35 and made 16 sales at 60% recurring but unfortunately they dont sell ad space anymore

Banner based ads for adult content access sites can convert very well, assuming that the traffic supplier can target campaigns using various criteria through their ad server for maximum potential:

Geo targeting - plenty of people talking about this in the past couple of years. In short, make sure the seller can filter traffic away from your banner ad on the basis of country. Example - if you run a pay site and make most of your sales on US, Canadian, Australian and UK users, you are better off paying more per click or CPM for the extra targeting than paying for traffic that may not be able to convert to sales due to billing and language issues.

The other big banner targeting item - keywords! Many webmasters and companies buy PayPerClick text ad traffic and like the conversions. There is a steady flow of surfers who, if getting to an adult search results page that has banners which are targeted as the text ads are, will respond very well.

Donovan - hope you are doing well. Been a while since we have seen ya. On the conversion ratios question, we have seen legit 1:1 and 1:2 conversions before (not very often) in multiple niches for different pay site advertisers and on more than one adult portal.

Overall, when you buy a banner spot in the present from any source, make sure that the seller can target your ads by at least these two factors. You will pay more per ad unit, but reduce your risk substantially! Better ad targeting will also mean better business for the sellers.

Cheers and Happy New Year!

I can say that I have seen banners that do convert that well, but the traffic was pre-qualified like no other. Very select marketing terms and tricks to prequalifying to that extent.

Congrats!

I cant say 1:35, but I can say I trippled my banner $ on a mainstream site a few years back.
But that was long ago
