I think its safe to say that horrible 1:6000 period is over
 

At least i hope so.

Since 6 or 7 days im doing 10 times better than the whole of last month.

This week im averaging 1:700. Actually most days are 1:500 atm but i had one day doing 1:1500 so that kinda distorts the overall ratio.

I hope things stay this way. I dont mind a little fluctuation but come one...doing 1:800 or anything a little below or above that for 5 years and then suddenly 1 morning you wake up and its going from 1:1000 to 1:5000 to in its wort period 1:8000 is simply insane. It lasted for a month. I almost applied for Burger King. And then now suddenly since a week everything is back to normal again.

Odd...very very odd. Never ever had anything like that in all those years online.

Well...im happy. Doing 1:378 so far today. Raw. So maybe 1:300 uniques. :)

good to hear! Its slow for me today :(

its those templates you recently bought...

Fuck...was that a hint...let me pay you right now :)

Haha.

I would imagine sales will be down for everyone today considering its a holiday, no?

Done...sorry for the delay.

Good to hear franck.

You know what...people have tons of different theories. Holidays, summer slowdown, christmas slowdown, this and that. Monday good, tuesday bad etc. In the end its often unexplainable what causes sudden ratio fluctations...at least for me...

ANY clue what causes my ratios to go 1:6000 and then back to 1:500 after a month? I dont.

Thanks.


I was really worried yo. I saw my income decrease with like 75%....that was very scary. But all that time i couldnt imagine that it would stay that way. And so far i was right.

Glad to hear it man very strange roller coaster for my stats as of late as well

Did you start promoting a stable sponsor... change anything at all? Or did it fix itself?

And one good thing came out of it. I signed up for like 15 or 20 new sponsors...more in 3 weeks than normally in 3 years and i found some really well converting new ones...at least new for me...Im gonna give it another month and then dump 75% of them and keep the top perfoming sponsors. Im already having a good clue which ones are :)

3 words: Amateur, pregnant and ass :)

opposite for me, my earnings are down 20% this month at least

Im sending traffic to bunches of new sponsors now yes....not sending 1 sponsor a lot but im deviding it. So they basically get equal traffic. This will give me pretty good stats and trends in 1 or 2 months...it does now already but too early to judge really. But im certainly seeing some niches perform better than others.

One site is amazing me. Maybe too early to tell, not much signups but so far 1:200 raw.

yeah shit is odd man.

Look, i am and was promoting sponsors many people do. I send all kinds of traffic and still i did 1:6000 while other people were doing 1:500 with those sponsors in the same period. I wish i could tell you whats wrong in your case but thats basically impossible.

These last two days have been awful. Im hoping its just a holiday buzz thing...

Yesterday 1:600

Franck, I think we are on the same schedule. I was 0:Everything to CCBill for about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. This week it feels like someone turned the conversions back on. back to about 1:700-750 just like normal. I agree it's all very odd. No tin foil hat just yet for me just odd is all.

Then it must be the reverse schedule for me. I was doing pretty ok this month but yesterday 1:10,000 for all CCBill sites, and today doesn't look much better. Seems they have switched on the other half of the affiliates now :winkwink: . Getting used to it though. I'm constantly on 1:1,200 accross all CCBill sites but 2 or 3 times a month it's completely f... up.

Reading your and mr kentucky's reply one would almost think they indeed scrub certain accounts for a few weeks and then move on the next group of accounts haha. That would be crazy. But it would explain things :)

Glad to hear. I am getting my ass kicked this week across the board. I am hoping for a big bounce back this weekend to make up for it.

Doesn't mean you're not a flikker anymore. Just a flikker with lots of money!

I thought about this when my ratios droped for 2 weeks for no reason.... :pimp

yeah this month has been better.. Huge slow down though the last three days.

Bad ratios all over this week

Things have picked up for me...

Interesting stuff

I was about to approve your partner account requests

but your domains didnt resolve

Whenever I have crappy conversion days, I always remind myself of this story: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...ixnewstop.html

People WILL buy shit as long as it is marketed RIGHT!

Hang in there, Franck. Things will turn up!

Ive had good ratios this month so far, last few days its been abit slow though

Was it a trend? Did you go over your logs from previous years to see if it was the same year after year or was it just a fluke?

I love researching trends and go over my books as if they were religious documents and I was a Catholic scribe.

My conversions are up a lot too... finally ... I've had really bad ratios on targetted SE traffic... thoses blogs are finally starting to pay up ;)

Mine? If they dont resolve its a dns problem on your side man. Im using that domain every day.

im coming over from mainstream, where we do our own processing (authorize.net, and the like).. i cant/wont buy that the cycles are this choppy in adult. there are other issues at play, on some level. some of my mainstream products are just as useless/disposable-income-dependent as porn, and they dont flux nearly as much..

Yeah i dont believe it either. Theres something more going on.

Glad to hear it

Just 1 hour ago on another board i read how a guy did 1:1300 or so with ccbill 1 month and 1:13000 the next. Sure things move. But that much. Nah. Thats not normal.

there are issues, with processors or otherwise. someone needs to blow this issue the fuck up. heh.

glad to know your a happier guy nowadays ;)

Meh so-so this week... Yesterday was the worst day in a couple of weeks, but the rest of the week has been alright so I dunno.

At least good ratios are now back :thumbsup

good deal. been a few slow days for me

Good to hear. Ratios are certainly better last weeks.

There's always that "Add sales" function that most programs have the option of using. LOL

Brad

I'm going through this now :(
Started off the month super strong. Last week was my best ever since I entered the industry a year and a half ago. I did 1:500 ratios on all ccbill traffic + wicked on other sponsors too. Then this week I actually bought 16,000 niched traffic hits and even with all those hits delivered I'm doing 1/3rd of the sales I did last week with no extra traffic. 1:1400 all sponsors ccbill. 0:3200 allready today. :(

Yesterday i ended at 1:450....today im at 1:400. Woot.
