If you're really doing a half million uniques a day and only 3 to 5 sales a day...then I'd have to ask if your traffic is actual surfers who chose of their own free will to go to your site and maybe even have it bookmarked (like my traffic is)

As late as early 2007 I still had around 1.2 million uniques a day. I was making hundreds of sales a day with that. And when I dropped down to your level I was still making 100+ sales a day.

Now I have about 10,000 uniques left (nobody surfs my tgps anymore and I can't blame them with tube sites having full scenes and rapidshare and bit torrents having entire members areas) and I can still make a few sales here and there.

Is your TGP a circle jerk/blind link/skim site? If so, then that's your whole problem right there. Most of the "traffic" on that type of site consists of pissed off people who are wondering how the hell they ended up there to begin with and quickly click out again.

If you really want the answer...install google analytics on your main page. Check your "Bounce Rate" You want that to be VERY low. If you have a bounce rate of over 60% on a tgp then you are getting a LOT of traffic that consists of people who are pissed off and immediately leave your site.

That can make your traffic numbers look real good! But like I've told people for years, the only number that really counts is the one in your bank account.

Also look at the Average Time On Site number. You want that one to be high.
If the average time is less than a minute...then you've got problems.

If you are blindlink/circle jerk/skimming for your traffic...I'd say that your numbers are probably about as good as they are gonna get for you sales-wise.

But google analytics will give you a much clearer picture of what's happening.

My business model has always been clean links with no pop ups, blind links, or "skimming". Just a what you see is what you get situation that earns the surfers trust.

My traffic numbers are pathetic now and it's a bit of an ego blow. But I'd rather see the reality and deal with it than to change to a skim and start blindlinking just to drive traffic numbers through trades with other blind linking sites. That traffic has always been pretty much useless.
