Hrmm....conversion %s
 

Bored while waiting to go out.......thoughts fly into my head.

If people say , for instance, that they have a 1:500 conversion rate (while most sites that post their % have much better, it's just an example), wouldn't that mean they get 1 signup out of every 500 uniques?

Or do they mean that they convert 1 out of every 500 free trials into paying members? If that's the case, that is terrible! Adult dating converts about 1:12 (for free trials into paying members).

If case 1 is true and it is out of visitors, why wouldn't they just purchase a large amount of traffic and get rich without doing anything ;p

ie. become an affiliate that pays you let's say $20 per signup. Buy 10K traffic for $50, at 1:500 you "should" get 20 signups = $400. Meaning $380 profit for doing nothing but putting up 1 page.

Of course multiply this by buying much more traffic and bam...free money.

I'm pretty damn sure this isn't how it works ;p....so where does the conversion rate formula fail here ??

you're thinking *way* too much.

Sorry I'll try and stop ;p

No its ok you dont have to, just dont share next time :Graucho

Conversion ratio usually means qualified entries into the site versus signups. In this case you are qualifying surfers by showing them your speil on your traffic landing page, and including a link to the site. You are assuming you'll get 100% clickthrough on that link. It's not that easy. :)

The ratio they show is based on uniques, NOT signups. Too lazy to figure out the free:pay ratio, if your good witht hat shit, you can tell me what it is lol

:thumbsup

You really are an idiot arn't you???

It's sad because you can tell you REALLY thought about it hard with your small little head. :thumbsup

True....though if the signup form is dynamic and on my site, they don't need to click and go anywhere else they fill out the form on my page im sending traffic to ;p

It's because I decided to try it , so when I find out what my results are we'll know if it works or not ;p

As for my head, dunno the chicks don't much complain ...=)

Urg too many small numbers for me right now hehe I've started my pre-drinking for partyin tonight ;p

Um... right?

Pay sites usually work because the tours market the site to the surfer over several pages. If they are presented with a signup form on your (single) landing page then you probably won't be converting at 1:500.

yes i dont send them much traffic at all, but this thread was about impressive conversions, not impressive traffic lol

If you buy 10K of traffic and send it to a paysite, youll be lucky to get 1 sign-up. When people talk about conversions of 1:500 and below they are usually talking about clicked traffic. This means that the surfer clicked a link that said something like "Click here to go to iteens.com" or a banner. The traffic you buy for $50 for 10k is exit traffic or pop-up traffic which means the surfer gets to your site wether they want to or not.

Heh I meant the font size of the numbers in the image ;p not the actual values they represented =)

I thought about that, which is why I'm avoiding buying console traffic..

Hey, you run 1600x1200 on a 14" monitor too?

Another good point.....well I've got some text and there is a hot chick on the page enticing the visitor....anyhow I'm investing a few bucks ot see what happens, so no big loss if I get nothing. It'll be worth it to settle my curiosity ;>

Doesn't everybody?? =)

Nah, I just don't have my contacts in yet

Chokers traffic is clicked isnt it?

Im not up to date on his gallery prices, lets say its still $1 per 1k ..


$500 for 500k hits

Lets assume a 6% CTR = 30k to the sponsors front door.

A bad day should bring you 1:1500 ....

So on a bad day your making 20 sales, possibly $700

ofcourse it can most likely be alot worst, but also alot better ... ive never really tested his traffic on high levels.

Anyone ever try it?

Well, ND sucks according to everyone ... but 1:1139 is actually high for me .... it is usually around 1:600 or 1:800 or so

not sure what happened, lol

Hey Rich - Nice sig.
