Hi all, I'm pretty new to this, but I was just wondering how well do you convert and what you use, like free sites, link lists, TGP sorta thing and do you use bought content or free content and where do you get most of your traffic from, also what niche is your best niche?
Conversion ratios are dependent on the type of traffic thats being sent to the sponsor. Se traffic has a much higher ratio than tgp and link list traffic has a much higher ratio than tgp because it comes from the search engine.

My suggestion to you and any other newbie is to start with free sites because they convert better, have targeted traffic, and are low in bandwidth usage.

I get most of my traffic from link list such as http://www.link-o-rama.com. The best way to find out who has the best traffic in your niche is to go to the search engine and search for your niche term and see who comes up on top. Then add them to your list and submit to them. Some sites do better than others in certain niches so this is the best way to find out which.

As for content I would stear more towards brought content than free content because most free sponsor content is slowly being reject by all link list. This is happening for several reasons. The content are of very bad quality, most of the time vid caps, and they become saturated very fast. So I think you would do best buying content so that your sites are unique and more likely to get accepted at link list along with providing something different than the sponsor content that the sufers are used to. This might catch there eye enough to give you a better chance at click thru and making a sale from them.

Your best niche is whatever you promote the most

currently im getting about 600 visitors a day and ive been up for about a week, i use free sites and only link lists for the traffic, so far with about 3500 visitors i have had about 350 unique clicks total on my 6 sponsors, but im still waiting on my first sale. In about a week i will be optimizing my sites for search engines and I hope that will get me alot more traffic. Ive been primarely doing bondage sites, but Im going to branch out and do many more.
You said you have 3500 visitors and you have only had 350 uniques to 6 sponsors? I don't want to say thats right or wrong because it would be best for you to post an example link of a few of your free sites here so that we can get a better understanding of why your getting the click thru ratio that you are and if it just or not. With this info when can better help you figure out ways to increase your click thru ratio. Also it would be good to know how many sites this traffic is from, which sponsors are these, and what type of sites are they Ex: free, tgp, or avs.

As far as your first sale goes it will come in time just keep submiting a free site everyday to about 60 of the top link list and you should see a few in no time. The best newbie advise I can give you is to not dwell on getting your first sale. Just build, submit, and forget. Sooner than later your sign ups with me coming in no time. Don't use your not getting your first sale as an excuse to not keep working. Im not saying this is what your doing just saying in general.

SEO is very important in sales as well because the search engines give you the best conversion. I suggest you target smaller keywords for your free site because all the major ones are already taken by webmasters who have been around longer and know the game better.

Being primary in a niche such as bondage isnt a bad thing if thats what you like. It is said that you do better in conversion doing what you like because the work comes out better. Also bondage is a unique fetish which people like and are not as easy to get good access to as some of the general niches are. I suggest if your going to branch out you should try things near what you like such as other fetishes.

I hope some of this helps you out and if you have any question feel free to ask them here or pm me
