Sex.com users: Do you recognize this? - GoFuckYourself.com

Undutchable · 11-12-2003, 07:15 AM

You start a sex.com campaign, deposit a nice amount of money. You let it run for a while and it goes great, then the ratio totally goes to shit.

Does this sound familiar?

I've heard this story over and over again from countless webmasters. If you ask me, something smells fishy

johnbosh · 11-12-2003, 07:15 AM

smells really fishy, how are the sites converting?

Like I said, at the start really well, usually below 1:100. Then the traffic just goes to shit - hardly anymore clickthroughs and pretty much zero signups - expensive PPC traffic "all of a sudden" turns worse than TGP traffic.

Hey idiot, does this sound familiar:

basschick · 11-12-2003, 07:21 AM

every time

Furious_Male · 11-12-2003, 08:32 AM

I get that with other PPC engines as well. Sex.com started converting bad in general for me so I have stoped using them for a short time.

I always speculated that a certain time of day brought more minors or other ineligible traffic (country etc.) online that are surfing clicking on the links resulting in bad ratios.

I then being a pessimist thought perhaps some of my competition that I was bidding against started hit botting my listings. However sex.com and most PPC engines supposedly protect against that.

I have still been unable to pin the problem down.

sex.com has not done anything for me and tons of other webmasters I know.

EscortBiz · 11-12-2003, 08:40 AM

Also I think many people who just type in sex.com are either kids or some people who dont talk english well, I can see to many normal people with credit cards type that in.

traffic like that all the time.
1 month one program makes me £1000-£1500
& next month only £150 & then back up again

traffic from sex.com doesn't come from only sex.com, it comes from about 50+ domains... i bought sex.com traffic with a brand new domain.. 2 days later typed it in google, and they spidered it from 50+ domains..

picked a site out of sex.com and did a google search on it.. look how many sites it get's traffic from.. all of those click them and you will be able to tell they are sex.com owned..

geps · 11-12-2003, 09:19 AM

In my experience with them, I dint got some impressive results... to be honest, the results were below expected.

cool1g · 11-12-2003, 10:35 AM

sex.com isn't the only one who distributes their search results to other SEs...Overture, GoClick and Findwhat all do it as well.

i will say that i have had much less success sending traffic to PPS programs than i would have expected...

but getting back to the original post, how in the world can the program you are sending traffic to know that you just started a sex.com campaign, give you a fake signup and then no more? that requires such a huge level of intergration and monitoring that its impossible.

Same here! we tried 3 times with sites that convert at least 1/100 but with Sex.com we had very ,very poor results

Jizar II · 11-12-2003, 10:45 AM

Sex.com sucks, we have a campaign running now with some very targeted descriptions and the result is pathetic compared to other traffic sources

Your site and my site were in the top links because were so niche,, it didn't do crap for me either.. I stopped using sex.com a long time ago

bummer I had high hopes

Trax · 11-12-2003, 11:46 AM

yep
i can confirm anything that was said
VERY fishy
i will let my account balance go to zero and thats it.....

SexSpaceman · 11-13-2003, 12:03 PM

I would never say that Sex.Com will end up working for every advertiser and for every site submitted. Just like any PPC engine, there is a learning curve about what works and it is unfair to deposit $50 or $100 and assume you will double your investment.

PLEASE, PLEASE contact your sales rep and take their advice on what sites to promote and how to bid in the engine BEFORE you start your campaign. This will greatly increase your odds of succeeding with us.

As far as the accusations of us sending shoddy traffic to our advertisers, give me a f-ing break. Why would we ever want to intentionally send traffic that doesnt work? All that would do is lower our average bid prices and eventually drive us out of business.

Keep your titles and descriptions fresh, promote a variety of sites and take your sales rep's advice...This will offer you your best chance of succeeding

Sex.com and google adwords stay consistant I would say...

ZoiNk · 11-13-2003, 12:06 PM

deposit $50 sex.com, make 3 sales to gigacash. Woo, nice profit.... except all 3 sales come back as "fraudulent transactions", gigacash account terminated without pay. All sex.com traffic. $50 down the drain.
