Things must be jumping over at Lightspeed

I don't really have the time or inclination to spend time checking out stats, so unless a program sends out notices, I don't really know what is happening until the check arrives in my mailbox.

Well, I have had a couple emails come from Lightspeed in that last hour or so. I guess those XMas pc's are being put to good use.

Glad you've learned so much by ripping off your web hosting customer's ideas.

Everyone should host with you, right?

Wow,

An old man with a fragile ego who plays a tough guy on a messageboard makes fun of my name.

Is that all you've got?

Must be getting desperate, or I hit the nail on the head.

Put it this way . . . if I was inclined to try and figure out how our clients made bank, it sure would not be someone peddling porn.

Look, you may be fooling a lot of people, but all someone has to do is look at your sig and they can see that you are doing anything and everything to make money.

You would rip someone's idea in a heartbeat. You've been doing it for years.

Are we supposed to believe that us ole Porn Peddlers are at the bottom of the barrel? We can't make any real cash huh? Some old man has us all beat?

Is that the best you can come up with?

Anyone who has anything to do with you better keep their ideas and sites to themselves. Whomever would trust you with their SEO sites after this thread is NUTS.

Keep digging yourself deeper...go ahead.

Saying you don't check your stats make no sense. You should know how your traffic is doing.
It would be fucking idiotic sending any number of visitors to a site that you can't convert because you haven't taken the time to make sure you matched your visitors to your ads. And without checking stats you don't know shit about your visitors. Don't pretend that you are that stupid.

I don't check my stats often. I have links up to nearly a hundred different sponsors, and links off of a handful of sites, my TGP, and my blog is a part time thing. Every month or so, usually at the first of the month, I check my stats and figure out who's doing the worst and drop them. Otherwise I don't pay much attention to them.

The money I make off them - which might be more than most in our industry - goes straight into a bank account that I only use for large purchases.

I don't even know all the sponsors I use . . . . would burn a day just trying to track that info down.

That's the best way to do it - money earned from sponsors should never be relied upon as an income and so treat it as a treat to yourself

How do you know if sponsors are actually paying you?

That's exactly how sponsor shaving in 2006 works: "Miss a check once in a while and see who complains."

We found a $9,000 missing payment when we reconciled all our sponsors.

But you all can thank Shannon for this: NO ONE can say Lightspeed owes them money. We have not missed or made a late payment EVER! (NOW 8 YEARS RUNNING!)

I love the Lightspeed emails every morning. Top sites, top sponsor and a nice guy.

Will let the children, young and old enjoy the holiday.

I try to limit my sponsors to companies I can trust. I usually know the owner.

Ya... and that's Exactly the Kind of reason I stay with LightSpeed...

I've watched my sales with other sponsors take a dive... while my LightSpeed sales have remained consistant.

I also use lightspeed as a benchmark... when sales at one of my other sponsors suddenly go to shit.... and my lightspeed sales keep going... to me... thats an indication of a problem at the sponsor.

I've been around long enough to know there are random UPs and Downs... but LS as well as a few others that I trust help me see when a sponsor has gone shitty.
