Nope. That's why I need to go through them. So, initially, I couldn't provide any conversion rates if that is what you are asking.
The way my current site is set up I can only promote so many sponsors.
This is why I'm getting an additional hosting plan with the money I made from my 1 site so that I can dig in and start making free sites and listing every gallery possible from every sponsor.
Many sponsors may overlap in categories, and regardless of what plan I get there's only so much HD space. That's why I need to go out there and evaluate each sponsor.
Hosted galleries both pics and videos are the bomb. Daily rotating galleries (or at least random galleries) are even better for site stickiness.
I requested random or daily rotating galleries from Medium Pimpin and they are doing that and should be available soon.
My traffic is very low as it's a new site with zero links. I've built up a steady 20k visitors per month with a very high repeat rate though.
Steady tweaks to the user interface increased click throughs and sales.
The biggest change occurred when I ditched a banner ad and quickly made a Video Monitor graphic fairly large on the top of every page. Inside the Monitor graphic is a Netscape 7 print screen skewed to the angle of the monitor cropped and appended to the top. That shows my URL. Below that is inside the 'TV Monitor- A Pictures link and Movies link'
That takes people to all my AEBN galleries or a list of sponsors Daily rotating picture galleries.
Regardless of how good I thought my menu was, I realized i needed to
steer what little traffic I had to the areas that would tend to make them happiest and give me the best chance of making sales.
I knew I had to make that big basic sign of "Pictures / Videos" to maximize what little traffic I get. I glanced an excellent book I've recommended here before called 'Don't Make Me Think!' which is a quick, easy book to read specifically for E-commerce sites.
My menu was an improvement upon the text links I had prior, but still...people had to look, mouse over and see a sub menu then process that information.
We all know people
want QUICK access to Pictures or Movies. So, I slapped that graphic together. It's big. It's on top of every page on purpose
450x398 on purpose.
I added the graphic beginning of last month. AEBN sales up 200% of previous month's best (400% over May) and to my surprise I'm getting pay-site sign ups now. Traffic was slightly down this month too.
It's spread out among multiple sponsors, but it's trickling in.
I only checked nscash, silvercash, extremepaychecks but click through and sales are up.
I'm honestly quite happy nobody exchanged links with me- not that I tried hard.
I had to really maximize what little traffic I got. Had I gotten a few traffic pumps, I'm not sure I'd continue to tweak the site as best as it could be tweaked. There's still tweaking to do for sure...but it's time to make some typical free sites.
I have no reciprocal links and my index page is now PR5.
My site is among the finalists in
http://www.bestadultawards.com/ out of all free sites submitted.
For a 4 mos old domain and my 1st adult site that doesn't suck too bad.
While I coulda done more profitable sites my initial site was a test for other projects down the road.
Er...did that answer your question?
