Silvercash comes to mind as a long term sponsor that I still continue to send traffic too. I have never made a sale with Lightspeed Cash either.

Those are 2 long term programs that come directly to mind.

However that is not to say that I think these programs are being dishonest or stealing. I dont think my traffic is a good match for they way they close the sales. Or maybe the people that come to my sites arent interested in what they have to sell.

The list of other newer programs is quite a bit longer. Its good that we are all comparing notes though. Maybe one of these program reps or owners wants to stick their head in here for some constructive words.

Maybe we should make a list.

Yup, and as you know although I dont do much with them these days, I made serious bank off of Tawnee Stone. Heh...I could've easily named a car or two "Tawnee" based on those checks while she was hot. I just never found that "next" lightspeed girl that I could do it that effortlessly with.

Silvercash on the other hand, I've never sent anything to. Nothing against them, just dont know them. They usually have big presence at the shows and such, but that's all I know. Have never seen them around on any of the boards I'm on. And with no other recommendations, I tend to send my traffic to folks I know a little bit.

So what are we talking about? Two cars...good cars..about 80K a year? Just curious.

Where do you guys draw the line?
I mean I would like to hear numbers, When does one say, "Hey, I've sent So-So Sponsor blank number of hits with no results. I'm pulling them off."
I ask cause I recently published a bunch of blogs, all free content sponsor stuff. hits are starting to show in the thousands now. "thats a total of all subs combined" but at sponsors end only getting still hits in the hundreds. and of course no sales yet. But again, sometime down the line I'll reach a point where I'm receiving muti thousand hits per sub-domain? Dang you people. I wish you'd talk actual numbers here
Everything as to be a fucking secret around here all the time.

The numbers are up to you.

I will tell you that the numbers you are reporting are not unusual for blog traffic.

Well it's 1 main blog with 10 sub just been submitted to the directories, this is reason why so may hits, although I managed to get it rank one on yahoo with some nice keyword, but google is being there asshole regular shit ass self, and still won't show as high as Yahoo

That's not unusual either. I have a number of key phrases where my sites rank in the top 10 on both Yahoo and MSN, yet aren't in the top 100 on Google.

I'm happy to get traffic from sponsors/friends. It's up to me to make the sale after the fact. If my content is shit, then I won't be making any cheese for me or my clients. You have about 4 seconds to interest people when they visit your site.

I am an affiliate of Js, and we do well with his program, so he must be doing something right.
