Average conversion ratios

[PR_Tom]

I pay for traffic dearly, but:

1:84 year to date
1:67 month to date

Last Friday was my record day for the year so far believe it or not. I know it was a pleasant shock to me too, lol.

So paysites can convert well once everything is dialed in, but the less you know about what they want versus what you're offering, the higher the ratios will go. (track those clicks, make those spreadsheets, know your numbers)

If I was doing free sites and/or tgp's full time, I'd still spend a hell of a lot of time on the SE's searching on niche terms for each and every site I built. Submitting to the sites ranking well. I want the guy who searched for "big boobed redheads" on my site featuring a big boobed redhead and promoting a big boob/redhead sponsor. And how am I going to do it? I'm going to search on SE's for "big boobs" "redheads" "big boob redheads" etc etc and scan the results for link lists. Not exact science, but if you cant get exact, go with "more likely"..

I know nobody asked for advice, and it's preaching to the choir a lot on this board because there is a lot of experience here, but maybe that's helpful to some.

i do have to say most part of my sales are comming from my old freesites...which are stil listed at gg, hoes , dd, rr, smutgremlin, link for sex and some are from almost 5 years ago, those sites are also to find in ses ...now i know tgp traffic is different traffic then linksite traffic, and i push alot of tgp traffic this year, maybe its time to go back of making free sites again ( and that i hate so much and its so fucking boring and for real i lost my touch with those, it takes me alot of hours to make one), well i dont need it, i make my money otherway now in this bizz, i work for 3 people and am very happy with what i do, i only cant bare that i worked almost 4 years 18 hours a day on my own stuff and that my sales are dropping there, if you have a sponsor which give you for 3 years a ratio of 1.88 and then you suddenly drop to 1.2250 and it stays that way then i start to think oke something is wrong. i dont want to nag alot because i want to stay in a good mood, its weekend and relax time heheheh

As a paysite owner i find these threads very useful to see how we compare with the average. Its a tough game thesedays, we were around 9 years ago and have seen a big change in conversions ratios over the years, but by keeping up with the times and making sure the surfer is given as much as they need to get that credit card out we have been pretty constant

We just added NATS, which has helped a lot. Looking at the stats so far this month our average conversion for affiliates (most are TGP/Blog guys) is 1:483

Thats NATS though, the CCBill system we run also currently shows 1:1850 (raw clicks) which while is not bad is not anywhere near as nice as we see with NATS.

i only cant bare that i worked almost 4 years 18 hours a day on my own stuff and that my sales are dropping there, if you have a sponsor which give you for 3 years a ratio of 1.88 and then you suddenly drop to 1.2250 and it stays that way then i start to think oke something is wrong.

I hear you Stu
And I am still building freesites.
