Swapping out sponsor codes...lots of em

Bill · 2005-10-06, 01:36 AM

Some people swear by the build and forget concept, but I've always believed in going back over old sites and tuning up my sponsors.

In my experience it's always good for a burst of sales.

If a sponsor get's uppity, dump 'em.

Thanks Ponygirl...don't worry...my gf and dog have heard plenty about it the past few weeks. And they REALLY heard about it after my discussion with the sponsor

Nah, not time to rant anymore...time to take care of biz!

Yep Bill, this is too much traffic to leave on the table. 1.5-2k sponsor clicks/day is too much to just throw out the window for my taste.

Besides, as you mentioned...uppity ain't good...and I certainly took his comments as pretty uppity. Honestly, I'd probably swap out the links if it was only 500 clicks/day just because of that.

The flip side of that is that any sponsor can have a bad month or two.

In my experience it is absolutely, completely useless to ever discuss a sponsors performance with the sponsor.

The only thing they can ever say is (1) stochastic distribution, and (2) your sales technique must suck.

They can't ever afford to admit to anyone that their internal performance might be poor, or falling. Gossip is too powerful a force in this biz.

So, there's really only ever one option - vote with your feet.

Yea, the month or two...while infuriating...I could survive. But, the conversation...that's another kettle o fish. Call it a gut feeling...intuition...experience...whatever, but I'm pretty sure my numbers would never get better with them.

You're dead on Bill, there's no way they'd admit to a problem.

So, it's time to exercise that ultimate option...it's time to vote and me feets is ready

When it rains, it pours! Security software was expiring, so upgraded it last night. Long story short, I'm just now back online with everything functional again...sheesh.

No worries Emmanuelle...I knew you were being cheeky...and doing a fine job of it too

Yea VB, I'm sure it will be for the best in the long run. Surprisingly, I did pick up 2 sales with the sponsor at issue yesterday...things that make ya go...hmmm. The numbers are still damn ugly with them this month...would take a bunch more sales to get them back into the 'normal'ish' range.

Have also picked up 3 sales so far today on links that have already been swapped out on my link list. Things that make ya go...YUP! And I haven't even started on the free sites yet.

Dan, Thanks Bro! You'll have a PM momentarily. I've been thinking about how to facilitate this change and have better control over all these links in the future. Using php was on top of the list, so your generous offer is right on target and greatly appreciated

Jel, I feel for ya man. What's that old saying...something about...'whatever doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger'. Well, I'm gonna be damn strong when this is done
