worst week in this business - GoFuckYourself.com

cam4teen · 09-23-2005, 05:51 AM

im a 5 yo webmaster and it seems this will be the worst week i ever had. Usually i make around 1500 per week in all my sites and i dont know why since sunday i have only $120, same traffic no changes , i really dont know what is happening maybe its just badluck and tomorrow the things change i hope.And september is the end of the hollydays , start of the classes , so creditcards are full , maybe its that...

PlugRush Sascha · 09-23-2005, 05:53 AM

Wow... that blows.

$5 submissions · 09-23-2005, 05:55 AM

Hang in there, bro. Things will change and when you're back to coasting, start diversifying or have a backup.

Realpascal · 09-23-2005, 06:02 AM

You're just having some bad luck.
Last week was horrible for me, however this week my ratio's doubled.

All in the game, right ?

It'll get better!

Trent Edison · 09-23-2005, 07:32 AM

My ratios fucked up since Wednesday.

DutchTeenCash · 09-23-2005, 07:33 AM

its not toptopweek no but 120 damn...

The Heron · 09-23-2005, 07:34 AM

Best Week Ever!

BVF · 09-23-2005, 07:39 AM

Thank God I make sales on my own site because I haven't had a SPONSOR sale in three fucking days! Not even a ten cent free AFF signup. And I was on fire the first two weeks of this month. As soon as the 16th came, shit dried up.

I don't even like opening up unified stats anymore because I'm sick of looking at zero's.

honestly i don't know how ppl make much more than that these days who are simple affiliates. traffic is hard as hell to get these days. my main problem is i got too used to working 45 minute days, now that just doesn't cut it.

camouflaged123 · 09-23-2005, 03:25 PM

sad to know that.... i know it sucks! Bad luck.... but maybe putting some more hours of work should make u more blings ;)

true. anyone who drives a vehicle is getting hit with record fillup costs right now.

this is a world-wide issue, but really effects the demographics of credit card holders. and this one single thing hits very close to home in the psychology of people. so they stop all discretionary spending because people are a little bit tense about their financial future.

Furious_Male · 09-23-2005, 03:29 PM

Eb and flow. You will probably have a record week next week.

The reasons are known to anyone who operates or works in an ad agency. There is nothing worse for sales (whether on the net/TV/print) than bad news. We now have 24/7 TV coverage of hurricanes.

The acid test of that is in "off-the-page" sales in print media - the response from this kind of advertising needs to happen within a day or so of publication, else it just does not happen.

Years back I managed to achieve one of these "successes" in lack of response where ya dump $30K on print ads in newspapers for the ads to appear over a weekend. So happens one weekend the timing was bad and there were declarations of war as headlines in print media. The response from all ads could be counted on one hand - bye bye $30K! :-)

The only bad luck ya got is bad news over hurricanes appearing cam4teen - the response/conversions will get back to sanity when the shit dies down!

J.R. · 09-23-2005, 04:25 PM

We have noticed a general decrease, last couple months
have been alot slower then normal.

Better start putting in an hour and a half.

V_RocKs · 09-23-2005, 04:39 PM

Yeah shit is really blowing this month...

Last month I did $9600 and this month it looks like $5200...

Back to school costs, hurricains... who knows...

What is funny to me is that I know certain people are doing a lot worse than they are saying they are, but no one has the balls to or the guts to say they are not doing well this month.

Certain sponsors are saying they actually increased revenues from Sept 1 - Sept 5 and I know they are so full of shit.

I guess I will get on the positive bandwagon...

Hey, sales are awesome here! We are just kicking ass! You should be doing business with us because we can never have a bad month!

J.R. · 09-23-2005, 04:41 PM

Here is some facts:

We have lost over 150 recurring members in the past 30 days, we have
never done that since 2001!

Of course they are!

TV and newspapers have folks sitting waiting to book ads and they can't keep up with the massive numbers of advertisers that want space/timeslots. Kinda like sponsors!

In real life they can't give the shit away for less than the half normal rate at the present time, so might as well concentrate on "news value" in the hope of upping the viewing/readership figures.

MandyBlake · 09-23-2005, 05:14 PM

that's what's crazy about this business. there's no telling when or where or why. lol

jacked · 09-23-2005, 05:25 PM

thats rough man things have slowed down a little bit for me also in the last couple of weeks hopefully its just slump

That is because you have the checks coming from Epoch (on a weekly basis?) so everyone CAN and WILL promote you again.

BTW, that was one of the smartest moves you ever made!

ry0t · 09-23-2005, 05:40 PM

Theres no money in porn.

bdld · 09-23-2005, 07:43 PM

that's too bad, hopefully things will pick back up next week.

Spunky · 09-23-2005, 07:44 PM

It's only a slump..

Biggy2 · 09-23-2005, 08:13 PM

people are inundated with bad news.

from the hurricanes, to oil. The hurricanes have shut down Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, etc. Then take the relatives of all those affected. Then look at increasing oil and gas prices, etc. Its just a timing thing right now with everything coinciding, and I will say this: all these factors don't equate to more porn sales...

porn isn't the only thing affected, the whole stock market is down lately... Dow Jones is down 3% YTD.

cam4teen

when times get tuff... promote us..

lol

combination of weather and war does not help

thats why I suggest work a partnership % and help the sponsor keep up great conversions and your network will double with 3-4 months and continue to grow..
