God Damn!! 1:6456

I have affiliates that average 1:4,400 and have been for a couple of years. They send CJ traffic and seem to be happy because they keep sending it.

I have others that have been doing 1:180 for years.

If you have 2,000,000 CJ hits a day and a ratio of 1:4,400 then you're making good money.

If you have 300 hits a day with a ratio of 1:180 then you're broke.

Ratios are nice but when it comes to paying bills people seem to prefer money.

My first three days in August were HORRIBLE. This was after the last two weeks in July that were killer. Was like someone just flipped off a switch.

I was starting to panic, but yesterday and today are great, and have almost made up for it. In fact, so far today my raws are 1:384 for all sponsors per Stats Remote, which is killer for me.

I went through most of my sponsor stats looking at what have been he best converting sites/niches. I was surprised to find that some sites that I hadn't promoted as much as others were converting far better than ones I thought were doing really well.
Did that make sense?

Yes. I find that my ratios with certian sponsors will vary widly. I will be doing really well with them, then crappy. I love dragonlinks, I just turn them off for awhile, then wait a month or so, then turn them back on. I think the bookmarkers have seen them so much they "look over" the links / ads. Keeps stuff fresh. One of my best converting sponsors this month, for instance, was one of my worst last month. Go figure.

There is going to be ups and downs just like any other business. Do I still get a bit worried when things are slow, yes I do. I have gotten better with time, but still have my moments of followed by
