Swapping out sponsor codes...lots of em

Need a new sponsor?
:-D

(sorry- couldn't resist)

Ace...tsk tsk...less than good form. For the records, I prefer my canned meats fried

Oh, and I already have an account with your program...thanks.

Yea Surfn, in the long run...this will be a good thing. This is a pretty large sponsor...lots of sites...which was why I allowed myself to get lulled into promoting them a lot. Should have known better after the fiasco a couple years ago with another major sponsor in the biz. Live and learn...

CrazySy...yea, I'm always open to suggestions. Hell, my sites certainly aren't the best out there. But, they're not that bad either. Certainly not bad enough to explain sales pretty much stopping overnight. Which just happened to coincide with backend changes at the sponsor. As the old saying goes...don't piss on my shoes and tell me it's raining.

Greenie and Linkster, you'll both have PM's (that's Private Messages, NOT pms...ya pervs

)...in a few minutes. Would prefer to keep the sponsor name offboard though. I have no time or desire for a board war with a large sponsor.

Absolutely true Alex...but again, this drop off was way too quick to be written off as attrition or staleness. I'm still figuring out how to make this change in such as way as to facilitate keeping things fresh. Which as long as I'm making this magnitude of changes...keeping things fresh in the future makes good sense

Very few of these sites even have banners on them. Most banners were pulled back when sponsors were asking banners to be yanked down. As a reviewer, I hate blind links myself...so I'll definitely keep em targetted. The days of blind links making sales are long gone.

There's really only one major link site I'm concerned about whether the bot is sophisticated enough to detect html changes and drop sites. I do have a message out to that owner, but haven't heard back yet.

Thanks for the good wishes folks...greatly appreciated

Oh, and Emmanuelle, as least your spam was kinda cute

lol- I was just being cheeky, not intentionally trying to take advantage of your unfortunate situation.
Sounds like a lot of unpleasant work

I'm one of those build, submit and forget people. Good luck MrYum it does sound like a lot work ahead of ya.

Linkster 40 sales a week with a sponsor? Wow that is impressive!!

Figuring out sponsors is still a tough one for me. I have two that do real good for me, but can you make it only promoting 2? My traffic just keeps going up so until it's really high I guess it's hard to tell who is working for me and who isn't.

MrYum no one would ban you I'd beat them up if they did...

Good Luck MrYum, I just went through the same thing on my link lists, totally changed things around, dropped a bunch of sponsors, added new ones...and we have seen our numbers go up as a result. It is a pain in the ASS, but well worth it. And you'd never be banned on our lists for that.
