Fiddy fat fucks stuck in the past.

(nice post sleazybear)

We get listed pretty regular with The hun main page, sales vary, cannot say what sales are a direct result from there but our sales do increase anywhere from 1 - 3. We have had 5 listings so far this month - one is running right now and we had good overnight sign-Up's, but whether it was directly from the hun I cannot say for sure.

I sell cheap galleries. Whats this thing you call work?

one jillion if this was 10 yrs ago with ply n pch

what i'm hearing is 3 sales from a hun gallery is decent for a program these days - is that about right?

From our experience and giving an honest answer 3 would be about right.

I got listed in #2 a couple a months ago with a brand new site, only made me 3x$35.
I was actually bumped down a couple of spots during the day, one of the galleries was from you Sleazydream so maybe you could tell us how many sales you were making? :)

3
is a magic number

Only on topspots, though. And the template has to be unique...using the same template for a 2nd or 3rd gallery in a row would cut sales in half. 5-10 full sales is solid for paid spots, 2-15 range.

Correct.

When it is a main page listing, I see results. Anything else, like overflow, no real big sales or changes in traffic patterns for the day.

There is not just an average number, it depends too much on what kind of content you're trying to sell.

Bizarre and weird stuff still does petty well on The Hun

average 5 with seemygf.com

SleazyBear, do you link to your own custom landing pages as well, or do you just link your galleries to the regular sponsor tours?

Now there's some good info :thumbsup

from the info in this thread the answer is between 0 and 50.

I notice 3 or 4 sometimes more extra sales in the days of thehun listings with our sites.

more like 0-5, whoever said 50 made a typo :2 cents:

that is seriously the best stats I've heard so far......

Depends on if its a paid spot or not and how the sponsor tours grab me. I have always said this and it has caused some grief with some. Designers design because that is what they do. They have to please the sponsor and the webmaster, but if they really knew about sales, they would be designing for themselves. You take anything I build it looks amatuerish and its simple. But I make sales. Because my sales material stands out. I learned one thing direct from The Hun many years ago. He was asked "what makes your site so popular" His answer was " My pages are simple the surfer comes in and gets what they want". If you buy spots on The Hun it isn't for sales, you will loose most of the time. You buy spots on The Hun for branding and in the past se ranking. At least in the days I was doing The Hun. The branding part seems to be lost over time. Now everyone uses sponsor content. Where when I was pushing The Hun it was for branding of a site with my own bought images.

Here is a good example, lets say you have a site co branded with a sponsor. Instead of using there images, you use your own, you water mark them with your branded site. You make your own banners to your co branded site. A listing on The Hun will jump start your traffic. His rules may have changed a bit and it might be a little harder to do, but money talks and bullshit walks.

This is another example of this is the way it is done today, and how it was done yesterday. The old masters are pretty much gone and with them, the tricks of the trade. Now its sponsor watermarks, that don't get you as much as it could. The art of site branding has pretty much been lost, because webmasters today think of one thing, sales. Where building a site that you can drive traffic to and build up your own little empire has been lost.

Sleazybear - are you talking now and can provide recent examples in the last 2 months or years ago?

The man gave lots of good advice and share a lot of his own personal experience, yet you ask for examples of what works for him...classic:1orglaugh

Hun traffic and sales died out around 2007
Before that, 2000-2006, TheHun was the shit, thats for sure.
Made a lot of money thanks to TheHun. But these days I would not waste my time with that site.

you wouldn't waste your time on a site that does 3-5 sales on average from what people say here?

Jesus you must be some whale. I'm impressed..

4 sales a day at $30 each is $120 average over time is 3 time renewing so $360

$360 x 365 days a year is $131,400

I'm a small time webmaster, I'll waste my time for that kind of money - even if it is gross and not net. The Hun is just one place to get traffic from many.....


I wish i was in your league where I didn't have to waste my time on that, but I'm no where near there.

Un fucking believable how you've become such an newbie noob idiot, did you also loose your brain after your bankruptcy??

I can't believe it's the SleazyDream guy asking these stupid questions

i know my sales results. I honestly don't know those of others...

markets change. I could have told you the answer to this 3 years ago... but that was 3 years ago...

there's something wrong with asking how other people are doing in similar places? If that makes me stupid - then I'm stupid.

Well, from an experienced webmaster as you're supposed to be, it sounds pretty stupid.

Also you used to call anyone an idiot asking them same stupid question like you're doing now.

i would really like to see an example of that.....

I don't randomly call someone an idiot. I dont' think I would ever call someone an idiot on a topic like that

Positive thoughts, but you must remember, you can only submit every 3days to thehun & the traffic from thehun would kill most bandwidths if you added a gallery once a day.
I only submit once a week maybe a fortnight. However, your positiveness has give myself encouragement to submit at least, as often as possible. :thumbsup

Is bandwitch still an issue for people today? Gb costs like 1 cent now...hosting is almost free.

bandwitch is as cheap as a sandwitch.

:1orglaugh

were you at the game tonight Quiet?

last time i submitted a gallery to the hun it took my site down for a day

1000's of hots and not 1 sign up

the hun listed one of my picture galleries on Feb 14, about halfway down the links..
3 sales @ 39.95...not bad

We usually do about 5 nowadays.

Listed on thehun years ago seemed a sale for a free placement was good.. I never paid for a spot though.

I just got a gallery accepted :) can't wait to find out how many sales I make from it. Maybe I will be able to afford one of the new Lamborghinis by the end of March.

What niche?

You are right :thumbsup

Each gallery uses 50gb, so if you were to have a gallery every 3days as thehun listing allows, this would only be a maximum of 10 galleries a month. 500gb... Yes, bandwidth wouldnt be the issue.
We do only show the latest previews on each of our sites now as we were using a lot more with every gallery. So for those people that have never used thehun, they should still be very careful with the amount of content shown on their sites. :2 cents:

When submitting Janessa's galleries over the past few months I have seen 3min to 14max sales per listing, not all have been on thehun main page some on thehun.com/overflow.. It seem more amateur looking content converts better on there for me.

mmkay... go make me a sammich then....

those are really good conversions!

vintage/retro...i always get a few sales with a listing on the Hun..

Its hard to get listed on there for free.....We submitted about 40 galleries and he listed 1 on the overflow. Got 7 sells on the first day and 2 on the second so i'm not complaining = ).

Thanks. Never tried those niches before, but if the surfers paid 39.95 without a trial, it must be good stuff.

I'm getting 2-3 sales for each Hun free listing

How often do you list Mr VanDamme?

I am happy with them that's why i keep submitting there.. SleazyDream any other good sites i can submit too that you can recommend?

best I ever had was 18 from a video gallery on day 1. usually 4 or 5 a day average over the 3 or 4 day post.

Most i ever got was around 200 sales but that was many years ago. I havent fucked with it for a few years and was consider buying again.

Does anyone know if there is there a waiting list to buy spots?
