Question with stats
 

say I'm getting 4555 hits to a gallery, and only 100 raw hits to my sponsor? Is that normal or does that mean my gallery sucks?

It's not the highest ctr but also not the lowest ctr.
Improve it by adding links like sample videos or sample pictures on the bottom of the gallery, but only if there are sample videos and sample pictures on the paysite. Remember that the surfer mostly clicks on the bottom of your gallery.

I would say it is average, but could be better.

Our hosted galleries have over 5% click through ratio with traffic coming from lots of affiliates so I would guess its a decent average.

yeah nothing funny there..keep working on the gallery

ok part 2:
say I sent 350 raw and no sign ups. How does that stack up?when do you feel its time for a new sponsor?

Send about 1000 visitors.

the numbers arent high enough to tell your real signup ratio or click through ratio.... keep trying

a 2% CTR is low imho

and you need at least 1000-2000 sponsor hits to test

then it's either your traffic that doesn't fit or they suck
