Lots of sponsors convert at worse ratios for me. I try not to keep on promoting them, but hey, the links are there, so I am still sending them traffic. I am talking about overall ratios, as they appear in unified stats - so obviously a mixed bag of ratios, but still, at 1:6000 it's not a pretty picture.... Talking about some big sponsors too, as well as smaller ones. doing 1:5500 on a mix of CCBill sponsors for example (year long stats).
Now, here's the interesting bit. I have some sites which I operate as a joint project with another person. To separate revenue, I use two accounts with many sponsors (one for the joint projects and one for my solo projects). I am amazed at the difference sometimes. Same sponsor, same kind of traffic, same kind of promos (sales text etc) - one account at 1:600 and the other at 1:12000 (yes, one to six hundred vs one to twelve thousands). Go figure.
