JenC,
About the sponsor sucking...
How long would you give a sponsor if they suddenly took a nose dive compared to previous pay period?
Like in my case above- the sponsor was doing OK for a month then took a massive shit- sales dropped 500% last week.
Now, out of the blue with no traffic changes- BAM...same sponsor, same sites, same traffic and it will be my best week to date in my short FS career.
In my case I'm using sponsor content, so I can't swap out banners.
I guess after several hundred free sites and galleries one can get a feel for what should be consistent sponsor conversions.
Sometimes shit just happens.
It will be nice to use my own content and be able to just yank banners in the near future though!
