I don't f'ing get it!
 

Clicks are same as last month, traffic is same, sponsor clicks are same. Ratios went up almost double across board and sales are way the F down. What's going on here????

This shit happens all the time, work harder :)

You can say "fucking" and "fuck" here. I mean the forum is called gofuckyourself.com and you are posting in the "Fucking Around & Program Discussion" section. :winkwink:

Yeah, that is how it goes. Years ago I saw AMAZING ratios on SE traffic. Today is a much different story.

Captain Obvious says....

Do you think that there could be *select* others that are experiencing exactly the same thing as you?

Could there be others right this very second asking themselves..."what the fuck is going on?"

What the fuck is going on is right. Any particular biller?

Maybe work on things like selling text, auto <strong> and <em> tags for SEO, relevant image tags, sell traffic to Plugrush, find and submit to better directories, trade with better related niche blogs and sites if you can, test with various variables like posts per page, different groups of banners, putting small wide banners or selling text to related paysites in blog post footers, trade traffic, test with full hardcore posts as opposed to topless or non-nude only until they click on the tour/fhg, don't be afraid to tell the surfer to buy some porn, work on finding great keywords with decent traffic that aren't generic like 'porn' etc..

I haven't updated anything in over a year and my income has increased. I'm very close to just redirecting everything to some modern version of Goats.ex

I need to lose money and friends. The friends part is easy, but if I make money in this busines I'm fucked. I can't let 12 year old domains expire, though. And they KEEP making fucking money.

If you want to lose money I can help you...don't let the domains expire. unlock them and transfer them over to me. There I helped out for once! :upsidedow

whats eating you bud? you have been especially negative lately

I have found the smaller the biller the better ratios. Read into that what ever you want.

your traffic is too low to sample with any statistical accuracy

SEO SEO SEO.

Update content twice daily.
Build atleast 10 links daily.
Make use of facebook and twitter.
Submit every single page, post, article to social bookmarking sites.


D.

Good advice. I need to do way more of that shit.

Most of the time when sales suck it is because there was some kind of adjustment to your traffic.

We need a "wm restore button" to put things back. Maybe you thought this change would be good or that traffic source was no good (when it was) or someone got your click at the SE or a better product came along or you are just in a statistical Eb or a hundred more possibilities.

I remember a LOT of BAD periods before the exceptional periods I had in Feb and March. Sometimes you cant just grow, grow, grow in this biz.

Still I believe in cause and effect. And you prob changed something in your traffic or to a lesser extent your site/tours/landing pages. The tiniest things on a tour/site/landing page can make a big diff.

As Nikki said in post 2. It sucks to take set backs but work harder is really the thing to do altho the last thing you feel like doing cause shit SUCKS why work? Long term Eb and Flow is why. Higher flows, lesser Ebs.

Surfers notice change. Keep giving the surfer more and better and something always new to click on or another lil toy or improvement.

Remember May is usually one of the best months and summers tend to be good altho traditional belief says different. 3 of 4 have 31 days. Surfers/buyers hate short months cause that means the bills come sooner plus they usually make less which means we make less.

Soon as it gets hot up north (northern US) things will pick up :thumbsup

My other theory. Lots of online porn is heavily bought by pent up Catholics or Mormons (ie Utah is #1 state for online porn purchases annually) and maybe they chill around easter for a bit. Till it actually gets hot out. :)

So four good months coming. Work now and pray for a hot summer up north :thumbsup

(Yes contrary to my other post in the Atheist thread I always get God involved in this biz lol :) :thumbsup )
