I went throught that plus a bit of the very, very long thread

Here's my .02 from personal experience:

Running a PPC program for a former client a few years back, I discovered through $1000s that Sex.com traffic was simply poor quality/non-converting traffic.

I tried many different setups, tactics, keywords, etc. and gave them the benefit of the doubt for a long time. When I noticed the sales just weren't there, I checked my logs repeatedly and noticed that although the majority of "hits" were coming from a sex.com URL, they in fact were originating from a partner site.

I took some time to hunt down these partners and found some that clearly were little more than "spam" sites (in all fairness, Overture and some other - most? - PPC programs use such sites).

When I asked our rep about this he conceeded that revenue had hit a peak for them and so they had begun taking on new traffic partners - and from the tone of his msg, I took it he personally wasn't thrilled about some of them they took on.

My one suggestion for anyone considering sex.com is to do your research and find out where your links are appearing. Things may have changed (I haven't used them in at least a year and a half), but for me it they essentially became a place to get cheap traffic for toplists, etc. ... and the occasional sale.

The traffic quality did decline when they took on "partners" (for me anyway). Prior to that it was hot and cold traffic but semi manageable if you didn't mind babysitting campaigns.

I've heard some negative things from others regarding Sex.com. So much stuff that I hesitated working with them in any capacity.

However, I think that a lot of blame falls on their shoulders for the wrong reasons. I think sex.com does and can work great for almost anyone, but you have to know how to manage and average your marketing sources to look at the big picture. Michelle has been nothing but professional and creative in making Sex.com work.

Concrete results

My take on transpired events of factual events throughout this thread and CuriousToyBoys thread:

1. jaYMan Reports he doesn?t like spam

2. RAVEN used SEXCOM over 5 years ago,

3. PFRANKO did a $100.00 test

4. Michelle is quoted as rude with poor customer service, by RAVEN

5. PFRANKO spent $100.ooUSD and states that in his opinion SEX COM is not good.

6. CuriousToyBoy states that he is ?"Put up or Shut The Fuck Up" type of guy...?

7. CuriousToyBoy never deposited $1000.00


And? That?s you?re 13 page ?thread reference page? you write about? $100.00USD????

I read your 13 pages of mostly hypothetical rhetoric, where I extracted the one concrete fact of $100.00USD results for PFRANKO were not good.

My response

1. jaYMan: Unless you?re going to feed my six kids, lighten the fuck up and quit your bitching about people doing their jobs?You know why people grab onto easy insults? Because that?s the best they can do.

If you want to do a real test run of $1000.00USD, no bitching allowed, keep your Ego in check and I want access to your stats. I will post the results myself.

2. RAVEN: I hope you get over that self-righteous phase. If you want to do a real test run of $1000.00USD, no bitching allowed, keep your Ego in check and I want access to your stats. I will post the results myself.

3. CuriousToyBoy: Too bad you never got a chance to do your test. If you want to do a real test run of $1000.00USD, no excuses why you never deposited, no bitching, and I want access to your stats. I will post the results myself.

4. PFRANKO: Too bad about the hundred bucks, better luck next time on your next test campaign, I would hope your investment is worth more than $100.00. If you want to do a real test run, $1000.00USD, no bitching, and I want access to your stats. I will post the results myself.


All people involved are commended and acknowledged for slamming people for doing their jobs and trying to represent themselves accordingly.

There are people who think with a necessary business sense, who recognize gossip, unfounded slander, and half executed results as being exactly what it is: half measures and here-say.

To those quick to join the band-wagon brigade: keep blaming the imaginary scapegoats and our clients will continue to support and recognize our site as a global antonymous portal for sex sites that boasts 1.6 million page views and 98 million queries, daily.

Nothing personal, just business,

Brian
