Tips on Converting Twistys?

The only thing I can suggest is to check out GreenGuys Stats to get a guestimate of sites that are converting for him and that might work for you guys
Building some Free Sites is a good idea

I don't think it is a good idea... he runs a classy linklist, I have a niche tgp and a blog.

Thank you Michael - that is a good point about Twistys being "no trial" and I will definitely take that into consideration when compared to other programs.

I was doing the pre-sell thing awhile back but it wasn't paying off for me... I think what others were saying here just might be right - it just doesn't work with my current traffic. However... I'm not giving up - everyone here agrees, you guys have GREAT content to use in blogs and as a webmaster I can see that your design and photography standards are a LOT higher than what we see on many other sites.

Now that I'm building free sites, perhaps I will focus my attention on Twistys as a pre-sell opportunity using the sponsor content on free sites to push the program rather than the banner I currently have coupled with weekly postings of Twistys Treats and other new content sets.

Thank you - you've inspired me to try something new.

Hey and I will be the first to say that honestly our site will not work for you if your traffic is coming for something besides "babe".

We do really well for our people/affiliates who promote the "babe" aspect over the "pornstar" or "teen" so my suggestion with a blog, is if you are going to promote us (and many blog guys do just because of our 4 custom post feed updates each day) make sure its on a blog focused to that genre/niche. My feeling is yours is a little more general in appearance and I might try pushing sponsors that are a little harder.

And if you do need anything else feel free to hit me up, since I have been an active affiliate myself since 1997 and reasonably successful at it.

So feel free to ask me anything.

Thank you! I actually think that's the problem then... this was all under "pornstar" promotion (most recently an Eva Angelina free site that got a TON of traffic BTW) - will try it out as a "babe" sponsor and see if that helps. I will also check out some "harder" sponsors as well. Much appreciated!

I think this is the best advice ... Twisty's are "babes" Try this for a while and see if it picks up.

digifan with all due respect, I don't think your thinking clearly.
Using Greenguy's stats to pick sites that might convert for you is a lot better than just picking random sponsors and sites, or do you think Greenguy is just wasting his time posting his stats.

If you were referring to my saying I thought building some free sites was a good idea. I still do

and last of all I have great respect for what Greenie has done with Link-O-Rama but I would never describe it as classy

I don't think Greenguy would descibe it as that either... LOL

In fact, it was everyone pointing to the success of Link-O-Rama years ago that made me realize that the bare-bones type sites can sometimes sell the best. If I could only learn to ignore that designer inside of me that keeps yelling for me to "pretty it up." LMAO

I think you should "simplify" your site a bit. What I mean by that is - completely remove the header part - up to the first horizontal menu.

You have some good articles below, which many surfers never see because they click on some banner in the header, and then close the sponsor site they have landed on.

Try to tease the surfer with your great content. Instead of header put up a top ten list of links to your best posts. You'll get some bookmarkers that way.

You should check out "sugasm" and submit articles like "What Do Women Want in the Bedroom?". You'll get some good links to your blog that way.

Just some suggestions from me - not really an expert on blogs...
