Maybe I should be spamming people my site is saturated with affiliates and their ratios will be crap and then Alan will be happy. 
Interesting concept, can you show me your paysite? |
I'm taking this as a biz discussion. First of all, those who have loads of sales don't care about conversions. Hey, they don't even have the need for "creative spam". Therefore, they won't tell anyone "sign up to my aff program and you will make 1:1000" (or 1:10000 or 1:n for that matter).
As for me being happy about how you do biz... honestly, I couldn't care less. I gave you some advice and this is not the first time. It may be a good advice. Maybe not. You do whatever you want. But my happiness is not related to you or your sites. Philosophically speaking, not even related to my own sites.
Besides, I've the feeling neither you, nor me, nor any other aff program owner is doing this for fun, or a big good heart, or whatever. YOU, ME and the NEIGHBORS are doing this for money, not because of our good hearts, so cut the crap, OK?
And about my paysites... let's assume I don't have any. Not of anyone's business. Does it make a difference? Whenever I decide to discuss about my sites, then I'll tell you.
Again: I made you a question, by your answer I assume you prefer 1 sale on 1:1 rather than 100 sales on 1:2000. Since I can't believe it, I'll ask you again: do you prefer money or statistics? It's a simple question, it's a simple answer as well but depending on that answer your sites will make you shitloads of money... or beautiful stats.
fwiw, just my
PS: if that helps, my conversion stats are way better than yours... and I'm always trying to increase my profits
