How sales for this period so far?
 

Nobody is buying anymore it seems

not so bad at all

Sucking ass

Catching up a bit, but still down overall, the last 10 days can either fix the month or break it again

slow here....I quit

October is the calm before the storm.

The roof is on fire!'Up since September but this October is really really crazy:). How it looks now this will be a record month!

It's been good. I think I will manage to pay my bills :)

the worst month I've had practically since I started. :(

yes, but i just wonder why, basically the market shouldn't be so different than one year ago...

a slow start but its picking up.. the calm before the storm

This month started slow but seems to have caught up again.
Looking v.good, thanks for asking!

I have had a 1% to 3% drop in sales for the last two years

Best month so far

sales blasting through the roof!

rising and rising daily :)

Wonder what niches are the most in demand this month.

last week had more sales but week didn't start yet so we will see this coming week huh?

I added new sites to my API and shit is FUCKING AMAZING

shit, really shit, we usually suffer june through september from the summer slowdown, this year we managed to keep things up nicely, then october hits and its been terrible, it should be one of the best months of the year historically.

As long as I can pay the bills and do what I like, I'm not complaining...

do they have reason to buy ? ;-)
almost everything is free

The adult industry is so hot that I finally shut down my servers a few months ago and have been letting all my remaining domains - except for a few sentimental properties - just expire. Even though they all had traffic and were at least minimally profitable - nobody has bought them.

A few short years ago, every single adult domain was snatched up and redirected. Now, not so much.

October is a good time to promote goth girls :)

average! not bad and not realy good!

When comparing to how it was, paying for porn is dwindling. There is free content everywhere.

Cam sales are more personal, and are doing great. Dating and hookup sites are also solid.

We have publishers pushing huge volume with cam and hookup sites.

middle men got plenty more sales than you

TGPS rock

yes, see sig

Almost no sales this month. Current conversion on ccbill is 1:10000 and usually it is 1:1150 or something like that. From some reason people are always having record months on these kind of posts, but I don't believe in that shit after talking with at least 4 webmasters with best sites in my niche. So , anyone having idea why suddenly this month everything become so bad? Average ratio from october last year was 1:1195 and year before that 1:1092

ccbill sales have went to shit

I have similar experiences. You read these posts and what I wonder is: what "sales" are we discussing here? Paysites? Cams? Dating? I think when one person says 'sales are great!" they may mean cams when another person says "sales suck!" they mean paysites. Or vice versa. LOL

What bugs the fuck out of ME is I'm starting to see HUGE gaps in sales - we're talking HOURS and HOURS - which I never used to see before. At the end of the week/month the sales are still there, in total, but the FLOW of sales has become bottlenecked somehow. I've only been seeing this, on and off, for a few months now. Sometimes we'll go through 2,3,4 weeks without these huge gaps then 2,3 weeks where they return. Maddening.

yeah sorry. paysite sales. Cams are good for those that were not fucked up recently by google.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Certainly it must be making your head spin that some have quadrupled their own sales without an increase in affiliates or a major increase in traffic.

What will it take for the great porn nerd to admit or acknowledge that the reason for the sales holes is precisely what swirlsgirl said it was all this time.............................................. .........

3RD PARTY BILLERS

Good bye 3rd party billers, Good bye sales holes

hello triple conversions, hello ass hats, doubters, and clueless morons who are spinning their wheels wondering where there sales are.

It really is that laughable and abserd that so many are not paying attention to their peers around here.

Don't listen to her she is looney, she is stupid, she is psycho....

but she is tripling her sales:thumbsup and she has disappeared all sales holes!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

How You like the crazy bitch now?

You are the crazy one for still trusting your 3rd party overlords while they dagger you in the back

We can't admit that publically can we porno nerd because it leaves eggstain on some faces around here.

We can't get caught in public having Swirlsgirl be right all along whille deep down inside we know she is telling the truth...but this is a man's industry and we cannot have a woman like her make us a fool by actually *proving* her assertions...

We will just further call her names and create another 101 threads about why there are sales holes and where are the sales LOL

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Hillarious Comedy Routine, rinse and repeat for the cheesy rats are laughing also!

I know it sucks to have to blame Google but I blame Google. Since 4/5th October with the latest update I have lost 60 - 70% traffic.
I have had barely a couple of sales and needed to rely on rebills. Don't really know what to do next, I kind of hoped after the first couple of weeks rankings would have returned, seems not.

Guess this is the problem with relying on SE traffic.

mainstream sales are awesome

especially ecigs

Could it simply be USA closing down for two weeks and people not being paid ?
It's impacted main street so it's probably impacted the side street also ;-)

the usa did not close down

My PAYSITE sales are UP. If they were down i would have said they were DOWN but they are UP! I'm sorry for those who don't want to hear or believe that because their sales are dead. I had some shitty months earlier this year when others had great months... that shit happens too, but seriously... 1:10000 is something i never experienced and if i did i would seriously take a look at my bizz because that is something just completely not normal.

All the time i hear ccbill-sales are dead. This is not the first thread i read about that. Well... maybe try to push Epoch sites and do something different then you guys always do.

AVG Conversion rates of my affiliates:
-1:339 in 2012
-Between 1:500 and 1:550 for 2013 up till now with 2,5 month to go to the end of this year.

I don't suck these numbers out of my thumb... They are provided by EpochStats!
You have my approval to mail and ask Epoch if they would like to confirm these numbers!!!

Some of my affiliates post the ratios of the programs they are pushing. If you like i will send you links to see for yourself what ratios my affiliates are doing.

Many affiliates get hit by google. That sucks... also for paysite owners like me that heavily depend on affiliate-traffic. I see a little drop in traffic too lately. It hasn't affect sales... like I said before sales this months are going through the roof!

I'm getting a little bit tired of these threads. People ask "how are sales this month". When simply answering the question people IMPLY that i'm lying and that i'm simply trying to promote my affiliate program.

I never experienced the golden years of porn but i'm sure sales were better 10 years ago.
But... Paysites are not dead! It's a fucking lie! Take Kink for example... still about 100 employees working there. You think they simply open the windows and grab money that comes waving by? No, they make money selling memberships... just like many other programs still doing bizz and making money.

1. Epoch have 1% of sites in my niche so as far as I am concerned,they are completely irrelevant.
2. People are mostly not honest and I know what is situation with big webmasters and some paysite owners (those who want to talk). One of friends that is having probably biggest affiliate site in my niche and few paysites started working "offline" job because sales droped so much.
3. Traffic is same, there is no drop in traffic from google.
4. we did test on ccbill and sales are going through

Conversions are simply 10 fucking times worse then last month. Simple as that. And going worse every day . CCbill is not only one,I see drop on other processors ,too (yeah, I mostly promote ccbill because amount of sites available there).

ahh I must be old, I remember 1999 and money just wouldnt stop.

I'm good

Dating + Cams is the only thing that sells, otherwise forget about this business completely.

In Mainstream, Casinos + Sports Betting.

The switch has been turned off... oh shit, just realized I got rid of third party billers and the switch hasn't been shut off in 20 days ;)

Sales are good, same same. Slight growth like when I see Sara Swirls getting bred by homeless people or when I see beaner claiming his scrub is the shit after a month of playing the third party biller role him self.

That was funny, just admit it

i confirm that Oct is shit

everyone who's selling paysites at least with 100+ joins/month and saying different is a lie. i see statistics for myself and thousands of referrals. Oct is way down

October gonna beat my September like a thieving red headed bitch.

please stats and your sales scale

53,776 uniques 340 new sales 1:158 total conversion Recurring at 79% although I dont trust the recurring number. The rest are just math.

Not gonna buy a yacht just yet but maybe a shitty little boat

I should tell you that's organic and just a few referrals maybe.

I believe this, we do thousands a month have done for years and this is a bizarre month compared to octobers past, wasn't expecting a downturn on september but it's definitely there.
