most of the whiners on their board are sending 5 hits and wondering why they havent got a sign-up, they convert well if you have good traffic, i used to shit on them because i couldnt convert them on Tgp, but then i realized it my my fault lol. i do wel with them now. they always pay, do yourself a favor and try them out.

isn't ars a little over promoted?
3000:1 didn't look good to me, and the exit popups are agressive...
they pay like clockwork tough, my first adult check too, just like spacedog wow!
is ARS the "newbie" program of choice?

ARS was the first I ever promoted via TGP, I look back at my stats every now and again to see just how many clicks I've got without a single sale, I think its like 0:45,000 now.

If ARS doesnt convert with TGP, what works?

as R3K said, ARS is not for tgp traffic anymore, very few people can still sell "easily" ARS on tgp galleries and these people can sell anything. I know a guy that uses exclusive movie content, buys top posts and use ARS as sponsor. I cant imagine myself doing such thing with ARS, the results would be a pure disaster.

Not even close...

But thru ingenious marketing skills of MarcDe they became one of the most trusted and biggest out there...

Seems like hundreds join them every day - they account #s grow like weed.

I think almost everyone that starts out with TGPs goes with ARS - I have no idea why this is, but it sure seems that way sometimes.

I promote them with other methods - and today (well yesterday now) was my best day ever with them.

They make direct deposits through ACH. It's great. Just don't expect to put all petite up on a TGP and make money.

ARS isn't going down the shitter. It's just oversaturated. Only the true experts can make cash with ARS. You cannot sell ARS with link trades, tgp, and avs/freesite traffic. ARS will now only sell with the dumb AOL newbies with a fresh credit card and fresh yahoo search engine traffic. If you don't know how to harvest this specific traffic, you will not make any money with ARS. I stopped using ARS right now but I might come back in the future with an AgeOath site. I had to quit ARS because my traffic is based on link trades, so my surfers are more hardened.

ARS's business practices are the best from what I've seen. The weekly payouts are the shit. However, since I can't convert them well, I'm going to hold off for a minute and stick with someone more reliable with porn conniseur traffic.

The problem with ARS is according to my stats that they are never stable. Last week I was doing 1:200 with TGP traffic, this week I have a shitty 1:4000 (!). Don't know why this is but thats mostly the problem to me. everytime when I had a good week the next one is fucked up.

I think the hilarious thing about ARS is that these hackers who steal signups keep hijacking people's ref codes....uh huh.

I have better luck with Topbucks personally.

ARS converts pretty good with tgp traffic for me. Last weeks stats:

8746 8458 20 1:423

My ratio is normally about 1:300, so ARS is a little slower at the moment for me, but still pretty good.
