Statistically, though. . . I mean, if you've ever studied statistics, you can't really judge a group until you've had a large enough sample. And if the party line for conversion rates is, say, 1 in 400, 400 isn't really enough for you to know. It's hard enough not knowing what our population size is here

You're going to have to throw 10-15 times that at something to really determine if it works.

I'd assume it would be different if you had a qualified base of traffic that has always converted at a particular rate, but. . . it ebbs and flows. 1 in 400 doesn't mean one every 400 . . . it could be 3 today, nothing for 2 weeks... after 15-20000, if it's still at 1/10000 that's something to bitch about... but I definitely think we got to throw a decent amount of traffic at these sponsors before we make judgements.

At 1-2000 hits . . . 1 lucky signup throws the whole ratiio. It's just tough when you're a young network and it takes a week to get 1000 sponsor hits...

but that's just me blathering. Sorry.
