Can you file a lawsuit? Sure. Would you win? Probably not. Too many variables (your traffic, etc.).
Would your lawyer win? Now that's another question ... |

What would you sue for??
If their product is not what they advertise, perhaps you could sue for lost income as a result of fraudulent advertisement, but it's a long shot. Why don't you try to settle it with them, ask about the situation, see what is actually happened, provide evidence of your 1:800 conversion rate, and all before threatening legal action?

its a hypothetical question
since i am seeing more companies claim these conversion rates in their banner advertising and there are truth in advertising laws. So i was wondering if i signed up.. promoted them.. and didnt get their advertised conversion ratios if they are held liable for these claims |

What kind of advertising claims does the FTC focus on? The FTC pays closest attention to: ads that make claims that consumers would have trouble evaluating for themselves, such as: ABC Refrigerators will reduce your energy costs by 25%. ABC Gasoline decreases engine wear. ABC Hairspray is safe for the ozone. guess thats where it fits |

It is not misleading - anymore than lawyers who say "we have collected millions for our clients".
program xyz converts at 1:100 is a TRUE statement - as long as that is the ratios THEY are getting. but of course you can sue - as someone pointed out - you can sue anyone for anything. I could sue the president of the united states for not giving me a red rose every morning. And hey - with lensman as your witness - who knows - you could win millions. |

Do you really think sponsors care?
I dont. I see it more and more each day. You probably wouldnt win. Not to mention as I type this, there is a banner flying on this site that says "My traffic doubled since I strated using your program." Yeak ok. Liars.

When a sponsor claims anything lower then 1:300 they are not talking about TGP traffic.
Sure a site can convert at 1:20 with SE traffic but not with TGP traffic. I sent a lil tgp traffic to a site where they claimed to do 1:60 to 1:150 or so with tgp traffic...... so far doing 1:950 with their pre-build gallery and that 1 sale was a trial. |
