Soon as they have bonus days the numbers of sales drop..

RogerV · 11-24-2005, 10:12 AM

dont you guys hate it too

Ice · 11-24-2005, 10:28 AM

yup that is why I don't promote them on bonus days. I'd rather promote a sponsor that pays $25 a join and my conversion ratio stays solid.

DaddyHalbucks · 11-24-2005, 10:28 AM

Of course. Shaving is no fun.

Ice · 11-24-2005, 10:30 AM

To add to that I'm also thinking of only promoting programs that are serious about making my traffic work for them. The programs that I can get someone on the phone, etc to get things done fast. I spoke to many people at WA, you being one of them that offered that.

bonus days = everyone pushing the given sponsor/site = more competition for the same sites = lower ratios

Hmm kinda odd hearing shaving accusations from someone running a big program. Pretty new to me actually.

Dirty F · 11-24-2005, 11:10 AM

And yeah, i never had luck on bonus days. Most likely because of what Woj said.

SleazyDream · 11-24-2005, 11:11 AM

I couldn't agree more, and I don't buy the "more competition" excuse either.

If I send 5000 join page hits to Sponsor A ( their count) and avg 2.5 sales.

And one bonus day I send 5000 join page hits to Sponsor A on bonus day and AVG. 0 sales, I start to have issue.

IMO I think most would feel a decrease in traffic to tours and join pages on bonus days, he recognizes he just left that site earlier and doesn't choose to go on the tour again. Once the surfer is there the difference should be minimal at best.

My issue has never been Sales Dropping on bonus days, It has been NO sales on bonus day. But I digress.

Maxy · 11-24-2005, 11:45 AM

Can't say I've had much luck on bonus days either. =/

slapass · 11-24-2005, 11:48 AM

Some sponsors let it rock on bonus days. you just need to know which ones to promote.

You got to figure when they are giving large amounts of money, where is the roi?

TheSenator · 11-24-2005, 12:24 PM

Yeah, I got feeling some advance shaving techiques are applied when BONUS days come.

Trent Edison · 11-24-2005, 12:29 PM

I remember back in January there were Platinumbucks $50 weekends. I sent 1k adwords traffic to about 8 sites on one Saturday and got 7 sales, but then on Sunday with the same traffic my stats showed nice round donuts... Weird to say the least.

ilbb · 11-24-2005, 12:42 PM

Yep, I've same feeling

WiredGuy · 11-24-2005, 12:51 PM

To hell with bonus days, I'm in this for the long haul not to make an extra couple bucks for just one day
