I noticed a bit of a slump too, looked at my stats and thought geez, my traffic keeps going up steadily but sales aren't, what's going on?? I haven't been subbing freesites as regularly as I should be but it didn't explain why sales have dropped. I was reading another thread and Unified Stats popped up, so I re-installed it as I had it before but haven't used it in a while. Well, I found out what my problem was - I'm sending tons of traffic, sure, but it's so spread out right now that I'm sending 200 hits here, 500 there, etc. I'm making sales with an ok ratio, but I don't have enough going there every day to make the sales I want to. Now this may seem pretty elementary, but I was kind of missing the trees for the forest if you know what I mean

It was a real eye opener, because I could see sponsors that I've been sending just a bit of traffic converting better than ones I'm sending tons to, so it's given me a bit of a direction to go in.

Don't look at the total amount of traffic coming in and going out, look at exactly where it's going, maybe that will tell you some things. Basically, I needed to step back a bit and see what was really going on with my traffic instead of just seeing the big numbers.

Also, when you start to branch out with new sponsors and sites, or maybe switching to some revshare, you're going to see a drop in sales for that exact reason - you've still got the big traffic but you're thinning out where it goes. That's why it's so important to keep building, even when it seems like you're going nowhere.

don't know if that helps, just thought I'd share

I noticed I was doing that too so I started concentrating on three sponsors to get the numbers up more quickly. I was promoting 6-8 sponsors and with a conversion ration of 1:250 or so it was taking forever to get enough hits to each sponsor to get to 250.

All I know to do is to put relevant keywords on the page. If the site title is "Wives Getting Fucked", I put "wives getting fucked" as one of my meta keywords and try to use it in a sentance on the page and in a text link. I've heard if you use the same keyword too many times you get penalized by SE's. I also try to use similar keywords/phrases like "housewives getting fucked" somewhere on the page. Not sure what else to do...
