I don't read newsletter but I'm glad I read that one
 

From joymii

" We've been working very hard on our end to tweak our FHGs, FHVs, landing pages, tour pages, and join pages - long overdue and much-needed improvements to increase our conversion ratio. There's much more to do, but I wanted to show you a real example of the effects on one of our biggest affiliates who sends us hundreds of thousands of visitors a month:
October 2012 - 1:12705 unique ratio
October 2013 - 1:6581 unique ratio

That's nearly 2X better! And I'm not cherry-picking. Some programs will give you ridiculous stats of "up to 1:100". I'm sure most of you know that's maybe from one specific affiliate who sent just 1 sale. No, this affiliate has sent us consistent traffic and has not altered the way he promotes us. Our average ratio has improved significantly across all our affiliates"

So, these are true conversion rates.

Actually it's femjoy/joymii newsletter from Oct 30

Damn , consistent traffic and 1:6k :\ whats that, popunders?

Fame, fame, fatal fame ...

no, popunders ratio are worst than that.

Are? :) Havent tried popunders yet :)

I think with popunders it's more like 1:50000 ... The reason I posted this is that it shows ratio from an actual sponsor given by a sponsor representative, not some webmaster who may know only his own ratios...

Lots of people here bullshit about ratios. Many of them aren't even aware of what they are really sending to the sponsor like the people who for years bragged about being 1:150 with Nasty Dollars. You can get a feel for who is sharing legitimate numbers over time. So many have left though. :(

Well back before the buyout 1:150 was actually bad for them, I did 1:50 on blog traffic.

Now its so bad I don't even worry about them, the only links up are old ones that I don't have the time to sway.
