Poor Traffic Or Poor Programs?
I haven't bitched about anything in a few weeks, so I think I'm due
I've been in the business since 1996 & I think I have built up my websites to a nice level as far as my
quality of traffic is concerned. Until last week, I had never been forced by a program to switch from
Per Sign Up to Recurring because of poor conversions on trial memberships or Chargebacks/Credits.
While I agree 100% with the program that if I am costing the program money by them paying me Per
Sign Up, actions should be taken. But, this does also bring up the question "Are these sites we are
promoting any good in the 1st place?" I look at my job as a webmaster to send traffic to the
sponsors paysite & convince them before they get there to buy a membership (whether it's a trial or a
monthly or whatever) I feel it is my job to get the surfer to your site & the sponsors job to keep them
there.
Needless to say, if I was not doing well on their Per Sign Up Programs, that there's no way in hell I'm
going to use their Recurring Program - LOL So you'll excuse me while I pull a few links
Questions or comments on this?
