How are your sales? What is going on?
 

what the fuck is up? what happened to the sales? the rest of you still having this problem too? I know I posted this last week, but I have NEVER saw anything like this last period. What in god's name is happening? Traffic is exactly the same with a 80% drop off in sales????

every week just keeps getting better for me

It's just you

congrats to you..keep up the good work..

i hope it's just me, cause I can hope to fix just me.

you've had no dropoff in sales the last 2 weeks?

Thankfully, we're still doing well :thumbsup

Which processor are you using?

everything's doing fine man, start tweaking things up a bit.

Things have been steadily growing at Skin Traffic. Everybody hits "bad patches", that's probably what you're running into...

going up daily here :glugglug

april has been a great month. sales just keep coming.

no, ive had bad patches, i calculate that into my business plan - the beginning of summer , college letting out, etc.
this is insane what's happening here. some of you may not have been in the business long enough to have solid numbers and stats for month to month year to year..


all my sponsors are 100% ccbill

try some sponsors that don't use ccbill then.

yeah no shit, my partner has made 13 sites in 7 days

you know AVS's with good reps that don't use ccbill?

Eh, nothing against CCBill but I wouldn't trust all of my income with them.

I try to focus on one niche/sponsor, but always drift a little bit for diversification. Try some sponsors using Epoch or cascade billing systems. Cascade billing systems are always my favorite because as a webmaster it makes things really easy. I don't have to worry about switching out links because of temporary processing problems, the sponsor can easily switch processors with a couple button clicks.

what avs are using epoch or cascading systems?

I'm rich bitch!

Listen to sly... he knows.

We were just discussing this last night...
I've been bitching and complaining that i'm at a total plateau with basically 100% ccbill sponsors. I haven't dropped off, just plateaued and that is 100% laziness on my part - But I CAN say that conversions have been very solid and consistent even in the last two weeks.

Everything ebbs and flows. :2 cents:

welcome to the plateau! I've been there a long time. Yes, there is ebb and flow but what's happening here is a statistical anomaly. I have had my worst 2 week period since 1999 when I was a total newbie. The two week period before that was above average.

hmm... my ARS #'s are down since the change but not by that much... ccbill sales have been really good the last few weeks but this week seems a bit sluggish... got me man... try pushing "blonde midget huge cock tranny amputees" :Graucho

i've got that market cornered already I own google with both blonde and brunette midget huge cock tranny amputees

mine are better this period than last period.

It's been said but there's part of the problem. Different processors scrub harder at different times, sometimes whole perios being hit hard. Mix and match a bit and you'll get FAR fewer ups and downs.

:( April has been a little slower for me over everything I promote.

I agree with not trusting 1 company with all your money and I'm torn between Epoch and Jettis for another processor. Anyone have comments on either of them?

dropped from 1:450 to 1:810 on tgp traffic :(

we are growing

the beginning of this month was slow with ccbill, but the past 2 weeks have picked back up for me...

Slow yesterday and so far today. Really slow.

I already asked but I'll ask again, do you know of any reputable "free trial " AVS that doesnt use ccbill?

You must have had a month that was statistically WAY above average at some point. Your best month. This is the other end of that scale.

I've been in this buisness roughly the same ammount of time as you. I experienced my WORST ever month in January. 60% below average .. I had the same thoughts as you did.

Sales came back up to average and I wrote it off. Maybe this is happening to you?

Same here, slow as hell this month with almost the same traffic. I get a lot of type in traffic too, so I don't know what the problem is :(

Sales are AWESOME today. Sell pills fool!

I REALLY REALLY hope so..
