Could somebody tell me what is wrong here?
 

I started out promoting a new sponsor because i think they got a good and solid new program, icoocash.
Made only 4 galleries so far but traffic to the galleries is starting out good according to webalizer stats, here they are:

Dec 2004 18366 hits
Nov 2004 26993 hits

Total of 44 thousand hits, not that many but not bad either, knowing i just started out and only made 4 MGP galleries so far.

Here is a link to one of the MGP galleries, this is the last one:

http://ultrasonic.icoohost.com/galleries/4/index1.html

Everything ok so far BUT i only got 12 hits to the sponsor total.

I'm not trying to bash icoocash, i'm sure they are solid but i'm asking for a little help. Are my gallery designs just not good enough? Text link needs to be changed? I'm sure the problem is on my end, not icoocash, again, they are solid. :thumbsup

Comments are welcome.

I expected nothing less from you

12 hits out of 44K, with only one advertiser, that is suspicious....

Explain, just comments won't help :)

Are you sure you're not confusing unique hits to the page with hits to the stuff that's actually downloaded: spacer.gifs, images, html files, etc ?

Your gallery has only one advertiser. You get 44K hits and only 12 of them have clicked to your sponsor? no way

It's just that is such a fucked up ratio it doesn't seem natural...

Don't think so, i'm counting referrers and also counting hits to the index pages, not the total hits.

Just curious. I accidently mistook webalizer hits one day to mean unique visitors. I then cried to realize what I thought was 40,000 visitors was really only 400.

hehehe, can happen. Well, i got about 9 thousand from the highest referrer so don't think i misscounted. Richards realm for example is one of my main referrers and he usually gives me good quality traffic.

With new sponsors, its a good idea to track your out hits and compare them with the stats :thumbsup

I think that my original response was the most correct and valuable.

Either your'e sending pre-school kid traffic from McDonald's wonderland to it, or your sponsor/link is screwing you.:2 cents:

Actually i'm on richards realm again now, http://richards-realm.com/movpages/ 25th place of todays links, this should generate some good quality traffic.

My basic question is, is the gallery any good, should it generate me some sponsor clicks/sales? Is the text link good, etc..... ?
