My site ErosExotica DOES "kill" with tube traffic; ppl watch a clip and WHAMMO! Mad sales. So.....

Let's try actually ADVERTISING on the tubes! yay! Right? WRONG. Zero sales from the ad in four days. ZERO. Ad runs another ten days so will let you know if things pick up but I'm not counting on it.

I'm sending clicks to my biggest and best paysite, the one that is making me and my partners rich, and I can't get a SINGLE JOIN FORM HIT? Wow. Robbie is, therefore, correct.

Perhaps I need to design a better landing page that works better for banner ads (and I'm working on that now) but I doubt that will help. Sure, ppl watch a video then buy but apparently thousands and thousands of ppl can click an ad and....not even consider buying. Absolutely wild but is it shocking? No.

i give myself credit for even attempting such lunacy and have learned (and paid for) an invaluable lesson: spend your dough building your OWN traffic sources.
At least you're trying and will know for yourself if it works for your content or not.

Please let us know what the end result is when you're finished with the ads. I know a few guys claim to do well from tube traffic with certain types of content, but they can probably be counted on one hand. I've also heard of a group of African prostitutes who they think have built some resistance to HIV and for some reason are not catching it even though they are having unprotected sex with some HIV+ customers.

It's a crazy world.
