How are your sales this week?
 

I'm trying to figure out why my sales suck right now.

It's been 3 months since going a day without a single sale or rebill .. and then the last 2 days .. nothing. Just dead. Two days in a row with zilch.

Traffic hasn't gone down much at all .. but my click through ratios have taken a serious hit .. and I haven't changed anything.

So I'm starting to wonder .. could it be the beheading of Nick Berg and the prisoner abuse scandal that has just killed people's spirits and now Americans, Canadians and various Europeans not interested in paying for porn ?

Since this all broke out .. how have your sales been?

My sales for the beginning of this month were great then it turned to crap this week, i dunno why..

Maybe the problem is, that you haven't changed anything.

Been good for us :thumbsup

If you have slow days like that.. you probably have your eggs in too few baskets.

Its very rare for me to notice much of a dip at all in money earned per day, and I haven't had a no sale day in about 3 or 4 years. :)

Do some partnerships, do some per signup, skim your foreign traffic to a dialer with geotargetting scripts, etc..

this week has been the best week ever. im surprised.

I've been kicking ass since January but i've noticed a decline the last couple of weeks. I think it's summer slowdown starting since the weather has been nice. My advice is to work twice as hard through the summer to keep your revenues up and you'll be very happy in September when things pick back up!

up and down! up and down!

3 months? holy shit id be in the soup line

bad day, bad week, bad month...

this is why i stick to shooting content :)

u like my referial? lol

It's only been 2 slow days?
I'd start getting worried after 3 or 4..
Anyways, no slow days here :)

We are happy as is :thumbsup

Slaes are doing awesome over here :thumbsup

dude, it's not just you. this week has been horrible for me with every sponsor.

but last week i made an insane amount of money. like twice i usually do, so i guess it works out? :(

at least i'm not the only one!

There's sponsors I haven't made a sale with in the past week, and they were my 2nd best sponsor about a month ago..

On the other hand, I started pushing a new sponsor 2 weeks ago and cannot be happier with the ratios and money earned so far - we'll see how long it lasts.

358 so far across 7 sponsors. It's at a normal rate, about 30 average daily... It has dropped like 5%, but so has my traffic, and thats because of spring/summer slow-down.

People go out more at this time of year.

yupp :glugglug

yeah well they need to go out more AND buy more porno. daddy needs a new turbo charger for his car. :winkwink:

it's not just you

summer slowdown
spyware
ccbill scrubbing is set to sandpaper
ddos attacks against some of the largest sponsors and processors in the industry
the economy is way worse than what has been represented to us

Mine arent that bad...

going awesomely as usual

Monday and Tuesday were really bad days for my site and all the others I promote. Everything is just fine now though.

My sales have been very nice these past two weeks, actually. I've been pleasantly surprised.

Actually, I had one of my record days yesterday, and had just "ok day" a day before. So it varies, but ends up with some nice cheques at the end of pay periods :)

I wish you lots of sales.

Sales are rocking for me.

Sales are rocking for us!

I keep seeing these threads all over the boards. A lot of people's sites are getting jacked by spyware and marketing software.

If I was you I'd download all that crap and go to your sites and see what happens.

Traffic isn't a problem though ... it's just sales and CTR.

Actually .. I'm not noticing a huge decreasing in CCBill clicks .. but no sales in the last 2-3 days. Which is insanely unusual for me. I usually average 4-5 sales a day with my one CCBill account.. which has a ton of sponsors merged (so it can't be a single sponsor shaving). So I think it's correct in assuming that they're scrubbing like mad right now.

If I had your body, I'd have lots of sales too :glugglug

stable as usual

Sales are doing great on my end:thumbsup
But of course ups and downs are normal in every biz.

CCBill does scrub 'em for sure. Do better with others, with exceptions on specific sponsors, who have crap conversions for me all the time. Have left their galleries up on my sites anyway. As for posting at other TGPs, ya can't really pull them for a very long time.
