asshole sponsor

Yep - I finally stopped promoting one major sponsor (who shall remain nameless for the moment) who always seemed to show less than 1/2 the number of hits (and almost no sales) compared to similar sponsors being promoted with similar galleries & sites. Granted, it could have just been a total lack of surfer interest in that sponsor's sites and not actual shaving, though I suspected the latter.

Well, I recently set up a "daily galleries" page for some exit traffic, that uses hosted galleries from about a 1/2 dozen different sponsors. Since this little project of mine is new, I've been checking stats pages closely to see how things are doing. And being a generous "benefit of a doubt" person, I included several of this suspect sponsor's galleries.

Well, I had no sales, but the stats showed 11 hits last Friday, but when I look at that same days's stats now, there are only 4 hits shown.

Shaving sales is one thing, but why the hell would anyone shave mere tour hits?
And geez, 11 hits a day to a sponsor is such utter small change - why would they even bother?!?!?

Anyway, that sponsor's probably going back on my shit list. |pissed|
