I could write a novel on this subject.

But, as in anything else, take some personal responsibility for staying educated on your site metrics. Track your outbound hits, track your ad views, track your CTR. Tweak, squeeze, massage every penny out of your traffic that you can.

Mix up your PPS and Recurring programs, don't do all one or the other. We're sending checks to people that moved on from our program years ago. Ask Peaches. (when she's ready to be asked questions again)

What Mike AI said was very true about processors, we don't live in a perfect technological world. Things break. Scrubbing is tighter than a prom queen's butt crack these days as well.

If you find the golden traffic, you're lucky. Those are the folks you're after. The people that are surfing, not for porn, but for something else. Then, magically, they wind up at your site by some happenstance. Their curiousity got them off track. Those are the ones that whip out the plastic in many cases.

There's also a shitload of money to be made "in the fringe". That was covered in another thread.

I'm gonna shut up now.

I'm always getting webmasters abusing me with shit like this over the years stating that their conversions have dropped therefore we must be shaving. Once a webmaster accused me of what you are claiming above with the bling ... it turns out the site was mostly bookmarkers and revisiting traffic - they took us down for a while when conversions started to drop (because the ads had been seen over and over) and then put us back up a month later and got a bunch of signups straight away (new eyes, new banners, new joins) ......

I was going to say that.

If you have recuring traffic, sponsors will always work better at the begining and than die down a bit...

If you have bookmarks/recuring type traffic, you should ALREADY KNOW that you have to always give them something different. Hell, you should definitely have a rotation of sponsors going all the time. And I dont mean changing it every week, I mean a script that rotates the ads at every refresh.

If you dont, you're stupid. Luckily that can be cured.

In some cases yes but there are definitely cases in this world of termial stupidity...

I was saying all this in 97 on Condom.

I remember talking with KK in 97/98 explaining to her everyone shaved.She didn't need it explained twice.

Nothing changes.

they just hide better now LOL

The only stat that matters is the $$$$.

I sent traffic to Serge ,who the first day sent me a CC of a message he sent to John Cotac saying "John turn up the shave , Nick is making too much money"

I stayed with him for years because the shave , and the taunting may have been the biggest in the business but then so were the checks.

I also got the best education in this business money could buy.




How can I shave you?
Let me count the ways........

If you think you aren't being shaved .......... then they should turn it up

As I've always said, that was probably the most valuable lesson I learned about this business.

Bank tellers dont cash stats reports and the branch manager doesnt give a damn about conversion ratios.

Who is sending you the best check the fastest for a given amount of traffic?

I don't care if someone even has stats, as long as my check don't bounce.

Serge's stats were simple MKStats.

but his wires bought me a Bentley
