curious about sublimedirectory listings - GoFuckYourself.com

RazorSharpe · 10-18-2005, 05:19 PM

Anyone purchase spots on sublimedirectory and what sort of traffic are you seeing? I ask because I've purchased a full month of spots and for some reason I'm not seeing as much traffic to the gallery as I expected.

I expected to get at least 50K - 70K hits to every gallery but I'm lucky if my last gallery pulled in 15K.

I'm not bashing on sublime, I'm merely trying to figure out what could be wrong with the gallery (well actually my description). I must be doing something wrong or they wouldn't have the long waiting lists to get spots.

The CTR from gallery to advertised site is good, my issue is the inability to draw clicks to the gallery itself.

The gallery link is: http://www.amateursrated.com/amateur...g/sublime.html

It's the very first link in their amateur section and about the 25th link in their big list.

Any suggestions or information on what normally works well on sublime would be very appreciated.

Cheers ...

50-70k a gallery is a crazy expectation IMO, I'd be happy with 15k-30k a day with the rates on their gallery spots.

how much did you pay for a month listings?

I've had a few free listings there that brought in decent traffic. Not so sure I would pay $1500 for a month of spots though.

if you paid $1500 and you'll get 300-350k over a month period there's no chance to make a profit. I would expect more traffic at that price as well.

RazorSharpe · 10-19-2005, 02:22 AM

I paid $750 and that's only because those were the only spots available.

Silvercash Thurbs, I'm not sure why you think it's a crazy expectation because if you pay $1500 you'd expect at the very least 150,000 gallery hits per gallery going by al4a and worldsex standards. This takes into consideration only first day listings (not inclusive of the 2 days you wait till your next gallery goes up).

In any case, I'd still like to hear from anyone that does buy spots on sublime who can share some of their experience on what works and what doesn't.

Cheers ...

I was thinking about buying there as well, but the price is way to high for that kind of traffic imho
