in my return to the mix, I've been finding a HUGE difference in conversions. Traffic that converted 1:500 before converts now at 1:4200 (and that's not a random number) These long, one page bang your head tours don't convert for me, even with all the trailers.
Saturation is a big factor, as I'm finding that the BIG programs are releasing new sites very frequently to "create a buzz" in my eye. Trying to fill niches they're not familiar with. Your traffic whether it converts or not is revenue in the form of eyeballs on their ads if you choose to promote it.
I mean please, camel toes with one pube on the left and 4 on the right, green eyes and red hair dot com. (and no, I'm not picking on the camel toe site from a program I cannot recall)
Nichey programs with established sites is my next test. They'll have the content to retain those trials.
Join the sites you plan to market, see if they will make your surfers happy. (huh? pay for porn? ) Just don't do it on your ad links, cancel your trial and look around. Surf like a surfer as a good friend of mine would say.
PPS has cornered the market IMHO, but, keep your eyes open and watch your traffic. I watch it like a hawk. It's amazing. I swap em out and look some more. 2 joins and 5000 front page hits with a reported ratio of 1:241. Give me a fucking break.
Above all, stop reading this tripe and get to work.
Happy New Year!
Nick please....You're a crook and I still like you, don't push it.
