A Brutal Stats Page

* 1:576 on 606,600 first page unique hits, from mostly TGP traffic

We display 1st page hits and 2nd page hits plus JOIN page hits inside Platinum Bucks stats we do not hide anything.

1:1582 is not a good ratio, but you perhaps the sites he was sending to were not our top 10.

Basically way, way to small a sample of traffic to make a statement of a company shaving as he has made.

I spoke to a few other companies in the list which tell me he sent like 3000 hits without a signup to them, but they also got accused.

So basically anyone that didn't convert at a certain expectation shaves now and you have the right to make a statement saying so.

I've sent traffic to sites that do 1:25,000 which for some reason did HORRIBLE, but this same company is in Qon list in the top 10. So do I accuse that program of shaving? No because just because a site doesn't convert well for you, doesn't mean they are shaving.

The adult industry is so damm compeitive that shaving is NOT an option. Ratios would be terrible and traffic would leave.
