As for begging I rarely see a sponsor beg for traffic, they spend more and more money to get it. This money comes from the only place it can come, the members areas. Pissing off in increasing numbers those who really count customers. They are the people who determine whether you convert 1-100 or 1-1,000 and I would guess with your tube sites it's worse.
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY IF TRAFFIC IS THE ANSWER AND WE HAVE SPENT SO MUCH GETTING IT, THE BUSINESS HAS NEVER BEEN SO HARD?
Or you're going to continue to ignore the plain facts?

It's very very very very very very very very very simple.
No Traffic = 100% Chance Of Never Making A Sale - Period!
This is simple. Assume you get 10k hits a day and convert 1:1000, so you get 10 sales a day. If you purchased traffic, built it, stole it, tubed it, whatever and got 50k hits a day, converted 1:3000 = 16 sales a day. <-- really simple math, that's +6 growth a day.
So when you do something like 200k-800k unique in a single day to a tour... you can bomb at 1:10k and still clean house. But at that level, people don't convert that bad.
It's really easy..
It's not member areas, members can piss off. As long as the site works and the person can get in, find the content they were looking at... they are set. I have sites that haven't updated in 2-3 years that still do 60%+ trial to conversion and retain like mad.
All I need is 'traffic' and the sales continue to flow.
