Conversions Sucking?

[spacemanspiff]

Has anyone else noticed a sharp decline in conversions over the last few days.

Our incoming traffic has been normal. Outgoing to sponsors has actually been up slightly. Sales are down by about 30 % or so.

I'm wondering if it could be processor issues, or maybe back to school time?

[Ramster]

Well 2 days ago I had one of my days ever! But yesterday was lower than normal and today is slow so far too.

[Cleo]

CCBill had issues for over a week and as a result I got the worst check so far this year this week but yesterday was a best day that I've had so far this year.

Sales with my non CCBill sponsors have been a bit slow so far this month but still decent.

[MadMax]

I'd say a bit below average but not too bad overall. Last month was my best month ever, and this month is definitely not too shabby.

[King Porn]

Not to shabby lately for me.

[2msacras]

it's been odd last week was my best week ever for ratios...but this week is below average with more traffic

[docholly]

I normally only check like 1 time per week cuz i find that like a watched pot, if i don't peek i don't Boil. Well looks like this week i'm not only not selling sucking but not selling camhoes or big boobs or bbw as well.. |pissed| and with the new college kids starting back with their newly minted Visa and MC's i'd think this week would have been better.

oh well next will be better!! Hope, like hard cocks, springs eternal. |flowers|

[Lemmy]

I'm hopeful I will get to the point soon when I can see daily fluctuations in my sales. Right now any day with a sale is a good day. :)

LOL yep, that's about right :D

my conversions are actually pretty good, it's getting the traffic there that counts for me.

now that I've got a handle on the sponsors that work for me I'm hoping that the "summer slowdown" is over & I'll see some more action.

So far pritty much the same/stable as the following months, great year so far. :)

[ynuahayt]

The last couple of days have been some of the best ever for me and overall August has been the month where I have made the most in this biz yet :)

[pornrex]

I had complained to UW last week about this and he told me to check out this thread: http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/showthread.php?t=23147.

There was a five day period there last week that REALLY sucked for me.

[spacemanspiff]

Usually our sales are pretty consistent, within a certain range. Last few days have been below the bottom end. Most of the time that happens it's a processor issue and it reverses the next day or the day after.

Someone else pointed out that it could be that big, whoopty-doo virus that's going around.

It could also be "just one of those things".

And docholly, I like the way you think. |rock|

[Rocco]

sales down here as well :(

[Surfn]

This continues to be my best summer of the millennium.

[Stouch]

Great summer overall but this past 5 or 6 days hasnt been good.

[2msacras]

hopefully today will be a sign of a turn around....things are picking up so maybe the week wont be a lost for me

[spacemanspiff]

Early indicators look promising. Sites that were sucking are picking back up. Feels like web issues rather than broke ass or distracted surfers.

[ronnie]

Month over all has been quite good, but yes, last day or two has been some slow sales.

[Jeka]

Very bad the last few days and last week there were a few days aswell.
Yesterday was really horrible, 0:30k today 1:5k, the days before were also twice as bad as normal with 1:2k, I think there must be processor troubles.

[Halfdeck]

Just when a sponsor goes 50 / sale my ratio hits the floor.

Hmm then again I just checked my stats and i got another sale from them, so i guess i spoke too soon.

[SirMoby]

It seems that every time one of these threads is started any where (a couple of month) there as just as many people unhappy with sales that are happy with sales.

[spacemanspiff]

Yeah, that's really true. There are so many different factors that effect sales that it's like comparing apples to aircraft carriers.

I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed a dip in sales with incoming and outgoing traffic remaining consistent, which would indicate an outside factor or a problem with sponsors. Just curious.

I'll be honest with you SS, I asked the same question to UW last week. I honestly believe that something is definitely up because my traffic last week was consistent with the pace of my traffic from the week before, yet, I had a horrible week last week. This week is only slightly better.

I don't know enough to question whether its a 'shave' issue or whether the processing guys are having serious security breaches or what not. I do want to say that I sure hope that this type of phenomenon is not normal.

[King Porn]

I can't say that I am happy, but this week started out with a bang. Things seem to have fizzled out as the week progressed.

[wolfie]

Conversion ratios are been crappy for me about month or more. Revenue is rising lightly tho. Just hope better next month!

[furrygirl]

The last three months have actually been my best yet for my paysites. But this week's sales are the lowest I've had in a long time, about a third of normal.

I signed up the other day and could only find banners :(

[furrygirl]

I signed up the other day and could only find banners :(
As it says on my affiliate page, "Photos for TGP submission and promo content tailored to your needs available on request". Any free porn surfer worth his salt knows that if he wants free stuff, he just has to click on the "webmasters" link. I think it's stupid to display promo content, FHGs, and FHSs just one or two clicks away from your join page. All's you have to do is shoot me an email and I'll send you a link to my content page. :)

I suppose it shouldn't surprise me that people miss that, though. Both surfers and webmasters tend to not to read the text of an adult site, they're just after the free pics, or the signup box and the free pics, respectively. Case in point: I have several of different affiliates linking to http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=924799-0000&PA=[theircode]&HTML=http://www.furrygirl.com/PAGE-NAME.html because my site says, "To link to a specific page, use this linking code:
http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=924799-0000&PA=XXXXXX&HTML=http://www.furrygirl.com/PAGE-NAME.html". I suppose they assume my code psychically guesses what page they mean a surfer to land on and magically sends traffic that-a-way.

[Surfn]

Yes, I did read everything, including emailing you for content.

Sorry I should have noted that in my first post.

[LadyNorth]

CCBilll seems to have issue still and conversion far below normal. Anyone else still having problems with CCBill conversion and Error messages?

[babymaker]

no more errors but no sales at all??? WTF it's starting to get on my nerves. only 1 rebill yesterday?? i sell tons off ccbill sponsors and always have a few sales a day + tons of rebills

[th3g4me]

I am at about 1:3000 this month. (cry)

[plateman]

my main sponsor was decent the first period of the month and the last 2 weeks of this month was shitty with them but I still managed 0 sales, had 00 sales with them prior though, but this weekend was better overall..

Saturday was one of me best days ever. I averaged 31 cents per click through. |bananna|

[King Porn]

Thinks have been looking down... Maybe the huricane has something to do with it.

PonygirlLOL no I had my sale amounts in there and decided not to show them... didnt want to look lame to the big guys and fat to the newbs.. |thumb

[Surfn]

I would like to add that I only track my top ten sponsors and none of them use CCBill.

[AliMeBitch]

Man only last week for me was good for the summer, other than last week I was sucking on ratios and sales, but last week I just exploded in sales that I've never even seen before and my traffic was way down, weird how that works, I must have stolen everyones thunder :D

[tickler]

Well I see the local university kids are starting to move in this week, so hopefully things will pick up.

[GenXer]

June and July (for the so-called summer slowdown which does or doesn't exist depending on who you are LOL) were good for me this year, great sales and all of that. THIS month has sucked balls. i mean, sucked BIG hairy balls. August has been one of my worst months ever :-(. Since my husband is UNEMPLOYED right now, my webmaster checks are paying the bills. And August's bills didn't all get paid! My poor daughter had to start school with only half her school supplies.
We are sucking. I think I've seen a 40 percent drop in my average monthly revenue. I've even updated all of my stuff to look all new and shiny and spiffy and it only helped a little. I am hoping for a better month in September! :-)

[GenXer]

I don't have any sponsors that use CCbill ever since I signed up for a program...(should I utter their name?) and went 0:12,000! I refuse to use CCbill sponsors. That was my first and only experience with CCBill affiliate proggies.

[docholly]

And docholly, I like the way you think. |rock|

For once Spiffy, i hope you are NOT getting a blow job!! Hang on down there!!! *swagging wide hips for a good anchor*.. |lovers|

[Beachbum]

Last week was very slow but this week has started off great! Hope it continues! |pimpin

well im praying this is the new trend, cuz if so im laughing cuz Its been 8 days now of amazing sales and conversions overall, Ive never made this much money in so little time and so far in the last 8 days Ive made more money than I have in a full month |pink

[Rojo]

Kick ass start of the month, 2 weeks all good and after that conversions turn to crap all of a sudden on my both main sponsors for another 2 weeks... :( Hope September will be better... No... let me rephrase - I'm SURE September will be better! :D

[sue-fl]

Glad to hear I'm not the only one! It's strange because the first pay period of this month was my best ever! My son waits for the mailman, he's so excited to check and see how much money Mom gets today! Now this last half of the month I've made 0 dollars. Sure is confusing to me.. |dizzy| Hope it's better next pay period for all!

[plateman]

man I am glad my one sponsor came back strong with 9 sales in 5 days to finish the last of this month, its about time some se traffic came through on the free site side of things, that's why I take my time and really think through when I build...

[AliMeBitch]

well my conversions sucked all summer long, may my conversion was 1:654, june 1:871, july 1:1437, and if it wasnt for the last 10 days of august it would have been 1:2500 but i finished it with a 1:1303, lately ive been doing around 1:800 with about an average of 4 sales per day. If things keep going they way they have been I sould nearly double my august income in sept :)

[nekrom]

Well August finished off above par for me, and now summers over I expect September to be an exciting month.

-N

[Outcast]

Hmmm
All is ok with sales in august. I noticed some changes in coversions only with ccbill sponsors.
Summer is over guys |bananna|

[AliMeBitch]

So far so good for Sept, 2 sales and 2 rebills with not to much traffic |bananna|, Please Please let me keep my average of about 1oo per day for all of September |bow|

It looks like reviewcash is getting around and spamming all the boards.

if only I was a moderator :DYou know, this guy could have the best program in the world, but I bet 99.44% of the people reading this board would never even bother to look because of his recent posts.

yep been a very crappy few weeks for me.

[GenXer]

Last month I was bitching about conversions, but so far September is going great.

Plus I got a new site in the Yahoo Directory now, September is looking a lot better.

[plateman]

been dead the last 5 or 6 days - next to nothing... :(

[koolkat]

My sales have been well off their normal levels for about the last 3 weeks. I thought now that summer time is over they should be on the increase :(

[Maj. Stress]

My sales are off as well. I had a great summer. Recently picked up some good search engine traffic and was ready to rock. Hopefully the switch will go on sometime real soon. :)

[pornrex]

It certainly been erratic.
