What is considered a good conversion?

Is 1/400 good? Would you think twice about pushing traffic to a program that did those numbers or are you looking for better?

I'm pushing dating sites and 1/400 really sucks for dating, I'm doing around 1:180 with my current sponsor

everyone's traffic if different

it's not that you will tell me that your sponsor converts at 1:400 and i will suddenly send traffic to it

most people also have different traffic sources, eg. one traffic source that i send to program x converts 1:100, the other does 1:1500 with same program

so your 1:400 ratio doesnt tell me ANYTHING

What polish said.

Your post is a lot like asking "Is $200 fair compensation for a job?"

ALL traffic is different. Sending to different sponsors and different pages with different join amounts affect how your traffic will convert. The biggest factor is your original traffic and what they want. When you know what they want, you know where to send your traffic to maximize your $$$.

FINALLY someone else says it so I don't have to.

I wish people would stop throwing conversion numbers around like it actually meant something.

Well I guess traffic means SOMETHING, it just means different things to different people based on what KIND of traffic they have.

So what's a good conversion for someone with teen solo traffic to a teen solo site? lol

If I made a gallery with a link that said "click here for more pictures" I would probably convert 1:1500 with a high CTR, but if I made another one that said "click here to join her site for $29.95" I would probably convert around 1:50 with a horrible CTR.

The only way for me to compare two paysites is to use the same methods on both of them. That means that the final conversion ratio means nothing to anyone but me though.
