0:49444 with Pimp Roll
 

I haven't really checked stats in a long time, a year or so as I've been out of the game. One of the sponsors that used to convert for me is Pimp Roll.

But for the last couple of months, the numbers show this:
Grand Totals: 109407 49444 5379 0 0:49444 $0.00

This is almost all from blog traffic, that are getting good SEO traffic... I guess I'm doing something very wrong lol

Man that sucks. You win the worse stats award.

lol thanks man :) I need something to put on my wall then, I love awards!

What's funny is that across the network, traffic has actually increased over the last year - yet sales have dropped significantly. Hmmm

I forgot to feed my dog for a long time. he died.

Good point, but this isn't a dog and traffic isn't down. Other programs till generate sales, I am expecting a drop - but a flat-line just gets me concerned.

Damn.....:Oh crap

sales dropped , blame the illegal tubes ., :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

For sure U do something VERY WRONG

Haha yea, but they were around back in 2007/2008/2009 as well :1orglaugh

I tried a BIG cam sponsor for 10 days a couple of weeks ago.

Sent them 500k clicks in 10 days, and only got 1 sale.

Trust me, they won the worse stats award.

My sales stats at pimproll suck as much lately too.. I still convert with some other programs though.

you are doing it wrong right now, keeping pimproll there, go and replace with some fresh sponsor and make money ... :2 cents: have luck :)

chinese traffic?

No chinese traffic, my sites are all blocked by the great wall haha.

I just pulled stats for the last year for PimpRoll:

Raw: 1:130.927
Unique: 1:73.908

lol

Yeah what the hell's happening ?
I got a big drop here too.

heheheh WTF as i was writting this down, i went to check out my stats.
Got a 35$ signup today but to be honest, yeah i've seen a drop too.
Hope it's just a temporary drop tho.

better send to traffic broker, you will have 300$ in pocket :)

Since I'm mainly running blogs, that'll be hard. But I'm pulling all hardlinks that's for sure..

links pulled

Damn.. this is why I make sure it's possible to replace sponsor promos.

duh ... never let it get that far! 0:6000 is a reason to hit the kill switch already

Don't stop until 0:50000 ...

It sucks big time...

hey Markul, that's a real long time to go without looking at stats man... How do you know the traffic is just as good or any good at all if your not even looking at conversions for that long? I'm not sure what you would expect without keeping an eye on things, sales have never been automatic in this industry--Even in the old days.


either way hit me up, we can go over your account and see what you can do to get some better numbers, may just need to try out a few different sites is all.

Anyone else having the same issue is of course invited to hit me or Ross up to investigate any drop in numbers. That is what we are here for ;)

you don't have any links....

Bad conversions with Pimp Roll - that sucks. Good luck.

If you get back in the biz make sure you are at least able to pull or redirect all new links from a sponsor in under an hour. Depending on how your blogs present any free content I wouldn't worry about text links to other sponsors appearing below the free content. Most of these sponsors have been placing urls on their content for years and getting free type-in traffic. They can't have it both ways. Besides you aren't their employee. If someone were converting 0:50,000 for me with good quality traffic I would have taken great pleasure in removing every single link of theirs somewhere around 40,000 clicks ago. It's not fun but look at it as helping out your fellow affiliates. If you don't pull links then the sponsor has no motivation to change because they still get all your hits either way for free.

I am going to pull text links to sites that aren't converting. I am talking to Glen on ICQ about the Pimp Roll content, and I have to say that I've always found Pimp Roll to be great and helpful people. That is still true.

It also turns out I'm sending traffic to a lot of ancient sites, so I need to find a way to redirect my links without having to edit every single blog post (as there are thousands of them).

Maybe there is a plugin that allows me to input some sort of link to link redirection. Anyone ever heard of something like that for wordpress?

robots.txt
 

Have a look at the robots.txt file for the sites you're promoting. I'm not sure when it happened, but PORN and the other 'all-in-one' sites now block robots on all pages carrying affiliate id's.

I wish I was able to convert pimproll better because I could have sent their many sites a lot of business over the last three years. I stopped pushing them years back and have always been around 1:6,000 ever since with what little I still send. That said some people seem to convert Pimproll well still and I have no personal or business issues with them other than poor conversions with my traffic. Them seem like good people otherwise in comparison to some others.

If you host these blogs I'd think you should be able to run some search and replace queries in order to change linkcodes. If you are staying with Pimproll then swapping sites and jleaving up content shouldn't be an issue with them at all. Maybe Fris or someone else heavily into blogs might know of a plugin or good method?

I would love to have a chat with you, see if I can give you some pointers in regards to our sites. I've helped a few people in your situation before. One guy was 1:7000, messaged me by chance and he is happily doing 1:2500 now. Yes still high, but in comparison to what he was then it's a great start. He is also tweaking more and more and still messages me once or twice a week.

Get in touch on icq or email if you have 10-15 mins to chat and see if we can get you doing better. Sometimes it just needs an outsider to notice some small things in your promotional methods and it makes a big difference.

When I hear about conversions like this 9 out of 10 times the webmaster is sending 100 hits each to all 400 of our sites. No marketing efforts whatsoever.

Umm, I'm willing to pay you for that traffic. LOL.

ICQ.

I was in a similar boat. My Pimproll conversions were blowing hard (cant remember exact ratio but it was around 1:3000 I think) in a niche where I usually do 1:600 with all my other main sponsors. Didn't make sense to me as I'm pretty good these days at knowing what will sell, and PR should have been just what my traffic was looking for. I was pretty much fed up with it though and was gonna drop em, which is what I usually do these days, but decided to hit up Ross instead. Ross found the ONE thing that I overlooked that was making their sites less appealing to my surfers. I made the switch and the conversions started increasing almost immediately.

Like Ross said sometimes you need a fresh look at your shit to figure out what could help. They've got way to many friggin sites to not have some kind of clue on what works and what doesn't

some programs sell better, some worse, but 50k to zero conversion... it's either you doing something wrong, or Google feeds you with Chinese bots

that really sucks

That makes you think before signing up with this sponsor.... Wow.

Time to look those over and retarget. Lots of good guys over there that will help you.

Thanks for the offer, Ross. :) I'm not doing much at the moment with new promotion of paysites since I am focusing on different areas due to the piracy situation but I will definitely keep you in mind if I start up again or need more sites to promote.

Which sites?
wow sorry

Can pimproll clarify this?

OP. There is also alot of different pricing options with pimproll that can really help conversion for you.
