is going from 1:500 to 1:10000 normal
 

I used to convert from 1:500-1:600 with this particular site about a month ago. This week its at 1:10000. And its the exact same traffic. This is all tracked by c c bill

Ouch!

haven't you heard? If the program uses CCBill you can be sure there is no shaving.

We really need a :rolleyes: smilie here.

End of the month SCRUB A THON

OUCH!

on tgp traffic? that's happened to me a few times. a week or 2 later and it goes back to normal

where u using cc bill as your processor

Interesting thought just came to me.

You got 1 signup after 500 hits, and now you are up to 10,000 hits and haven't gotten your second one?

If this is the case, that is quite normal for crap traffic.


So, what is your traffic source? TGP, blind, exits?

no, promoting sponsors. they all use either ibill, ccbill or epoch.
im typically around 1:800'ish, but I've had some 1:5000 weeks too. It's just the way it is

no its not based on one or two signups.

what is source?

tgp traffic

mysterious shit like that happens to me all the time:(

same TGPs or did you suddenly get listed by a heavy hitter that rarely converts?

1:10000?

time to switch programs me thinks

yeah pretty much the traffic comes from the same TGP.

I find sometimes TGP traffic does awsome, other times it's terrible... really hit and miss.

do u find it going all the way up to 1:10000

I'd be a little concerned with a change that drastic.. maybe they changed their tour or something?

nahhh......summer slow down :1orglaugh

I agree.. the summer slow down has been hard this year. Use this time to pursue mainstream ventures..

No such thing as a summer slow down. The horny guys that can't get laid come home drunk and still need the porn. Overnites should be good all summer long.

"Summer Slow Down" is an excuse shaving sponsors use. Fuck that.

Tell me that in 2 weeks when all the kids are home all dayand clicking like crazy with no credit card.

Read my post again. I said sign ups overnite. There is no summer slow down. Thats a bunch of shit. Sure you will have fluctuations over holidays but you get that in the winter as well.

I am amazed noone mentions this.

If you use TGP or MGP as a traffic source the key is to change sponsors all the time.

See when a site is new or underpromoted you will convert way better then when tons of webmasters are pushing it.

I see that with all my sites, first 30 days they are live conversions are amazing from even shitty traffic then once many start to push it its only common sense conversions drop.

This might also answer the question to many on why some people build sites and dont allow affiliates.

Enjoy your weekend.

Sales go up and down, that's normal. Maybe your sponsors turned your shaving up. CCBill doesn't mean your sponsor can't shave with his management console. Tons of ways to shave even with CCBIL so this is not a slam on them or iBill or Epoch.

So have lots of different sponsors to spread risk. Oh, there is that secret society of sponsors. Sure, they get together and adjust shaving at the same time, so you think it?s your site or that summer slow down.

Have you checked your site, trading partner?s etc. for problems?

not good.. :(

good words
btw, my ccbill stats sucks all the time, with epoch or ibill I make sales LOL (same traffic)
