Sorry to intrude.....
If we assume that the figures quoted are reasonably accurate, then what could be the reason for the lack of any sales? Are tb's sites simply not putting the surfer in the right frame of mind for a sale? Or are we assuming that the sponsors are somehow up to something? Or are tb's figures wrong? I agree that the sites tb posted need some tweaking, but I'm unsure as to why with that many folks going to the right places from tb's sites there would be no sales at all. I'm confused! ![]() |

KG Gary - if you as a surfer click on a link thinking it is taking you to the free galleries on a free site and you end up at a pay site of a sponsor then wouldnt you probably back out and go somewhere else to get those free pics? This is what is happening in this case.
The free sites are designed so badly that the surfers are clicking to the sponsor's site by accident - and that makes the traffic the worst kind for trying to sell - they already feel like theyve been tricked. As far as the whois addy question - the reasons we have out reviewers check them - they list your host (which quite a few are banned), they list your other domains which give an indication of whether or not you are also going after undesirable types of traffic (pedo, animal etc) and most importantly, whether you have had a blacklisting for spamming in the past. They also give us information on whether you are multi-submitting from numerous domains (which has happened countless times) and last - tell us whether its a paid host or a free/sponsor/shared host. While you may think that you have been listed well - I can tell you that for 100 sites 5000 hits to sponsors is very small for that timeframe - which tells me that you are not being listed at very many LLs - and I was just trying to give you the reasons that might cause that - with the amount of cheaters that LLs deal with every day(as an example - just today my reviewers blacklisted 153 submitters) it is in your best interests to do everything you can to stay away from the little things that can cause an instant ban - and the whois info is just the first step. |

Going back and re-reading - Iguess that was just one set of sites that sent 5000 hits to a sponsor and no sales - looking at that set of free sites - the thumbs suck - they are distorted and pixellized so a bad start. The sales text is horrible - if youre trying to get a surfer hot and bothered - that is just not going to do it.
