Im having the worst sales week of this year.
 

Doing on average about 1:6000 with all my sponsors combined. Unbefuckinglievable. This is with all kinds of traffic.

I already sent twice as much hits as last week to sponsors and made less than half the sales i did last week.

Its simply pathetic.

yea i've been hurting pretty bad lately too...wtf is going on...

shit happens.

Franck you are not alone


I know a lot of people who are having terrible, terrible sales periods right now on everything. Personally, I have noticed a near perfect 50% drop in sales across every cash program I promote.


What gives?

Im sure next week will be better again but right now it freaks me out. And nothing i can do. If people simply dont sign up i can only sit back and look at it.

Happening here too

Same here... worst start of the month in a year.

maybe too much free porn on the internet now? too many forums with people posting full length videos and shit with those filefront and yousendit sites?

Its one problem maybe but not something that changes everything from 1 week to another.

Sales are down for me too. Last month the US Consumer Confidence was at an all time record low. Gasoline prices are up disposable income is down. Must contribute in some way.

For me this started Sept 30th


Sales dropped overnight, traffic grew a little for the beginning of a month.

yea, makes sense...

Everyone is saving up for the Columbus Day celebrations!

I am having a terrible week as well. Hopefully it can be laid partly on the connectivity issues that have been discussed in other threads.

Here's just a few of the bad things that are causing this:

Low retail sales suggest consumer anxiety:

:disgust samE!

same here

Yeah people don't seem to be spending anymore, they know what happened to the economy after 9-11 and they know the damage of Katrina will effect the economy the same way.

yep, low week for me too

And I thought June sucked ass...

June - 1:1129
July - 1:862
Aug - 1:868
Sept - 1:1528 (hurricanes??? back to school???)
Oct - 1:1721 (the fact that everyone is giving away free nanos?)

See what a little bitching will get ya?

I am 1:331 today... 6 sales and its not even 6am yet...

****Ouch****

It'll improve.... :winkwink:

1:6k i would have jumped off a building

sorry to hear that... your ont alone :(

From august everything totally sucks

Damn, someone's done their homework! Good job.

Okay, I'll try that too....

Sales suck ass here also :disgust

:)

The events of 9/11 and other tragedies in the History of the United States show that people spend more time strengthening their relationships with a significant other.

We've seen this happen around times of war and financial hardship in the US.

The events of Katrina and Rita have made an impact on America. I'd venture to say that people are spending more on Personals because business here isn't bad.

That is because he has a lot of affiliates on his ass?

sales suck hardcore compared a couple months ago for me... (sponsor side)

could also be that internet war between level3 and cogent ??

I usually go for revshare and console free. All came to a hault about October 1.

Some possible reasons listed above, but why such a sudden change?

There are way to many TGPs. With trading it's a big circle jerk of the same ads and content. Got to strive to be different.

Sales suck here as well... I'm still waiting for that back to school boom :disgust

Promote something different ;)

Our sales are up for the month.....the solo sites are kicking ass! :thumbsup


Memberbonus is our top converter this month...1:281 overall....

yea been a slow month so far

October's been bad for me too, although September was my best month of the year despite the hurricane stuff...

I'm singing the same blues. :(

:thumbsup What he said. My condolences to anyone who is getting shitbanged.

Not at all.... My programs are doing pretty damn well. In fact August was a record month, and while ratios did slip in Sept. we made more then in Aug., but I didn't come in here to spam my shit. I keep up on what's going on because if I don't stop coming up with new ideas, and building more blogs, and putting out new content and FHGs then I'm gonna get hit too. As history has shown me after 9/11.... while there will be down months/days/weeks, overall our industry (along with alcohol and tobacco) will see growth in the long run, but not if I'm just sitting by waiting for it to happen.

This is one of the first thread where 90% of people are being real, yeah, sales suck, I don't care who the hell you are, the sales have sucked lately and thats the truth.

In all the years this is one of the worst, people are just not signing up lately, maybe its to much free porn, but really free porn has always been around so it should not make any difference.

This week $854.73 forcast $1304.24 1 in 503 uniques 21,132 uniques sent

Not to bad and with winter on the way hope for even better :)
