When to drop a sponsor?

Useless · 2004-12-16, 10:24 AM

I too get edgy if I'm not seeing sales when I'm sending the same type of traffic that would/should have produced sales with sponsors I have already marketed. I have a sponsor right now that I've sent a bit over 4,000 hits to from free sites without a sale. To me, that is unexceptable. If it was TGP traffic I'd say 'big whoop', but I have always had a better sales ratio with free site traffic. But it is also a very generic niche that I have not promoted in the past. So I ask myself, do I conitinue to promote that program and cross my fingers for future sales, or do I wash my hands of them and consider the traffic I have sent them a total loss?

I think everyone has their own threshold for loss. Mine is pretty low.
