Beaner and Sara:
I would be checking sales vs. Members and IPs rather than looking at form hits and submissions. At the end of the day you sell MEMBERSHIPS, right? So if you see ten sales that day, then check your server logs and see, yup, ten new Members in the hta file then what is the problem?
If the form hits/submissions reports are flawed then so be it, there are other ways of tracking....
Beaner: I know you say you know all about tracking etc, but the real issue here is: are you buying what Sara is selling?
Look man, Sara has an interesting site that converts but I took one look and could think of about fifteen things that would triple her sales overnight. Here are some clues:
Video preview WAYYYYYYYYY too long
Navigation a mess
Too many pages on the Tour.
Not enough "call to action" buttons.
WAYYYYY too much free stuff on the Tour.
Promoting phone calls, selling phone calls.....man, seriously now. LOL
But these things bring in sales, you say. Yes, I know - but I'm guessing Sara's site brings in (max) $100k a year (gross revenue). Tripling Memberships brings you much more than marketing Sara the way you do now (phone calls, etc).
Finally Beaner: do you think having Sara come on GFY is helping sell more Memberships?
Okay I'm done trying to help. I like Beaner and admire him for trying to work with/around Sara Swirls. But one thing is absolutely clear about Sara:
She does not present herself in a good business light.
There, comments from an asshat.
