OK, you have a nice weekend too...

Apparently it launches on monday. LOL Woj is finishing up his scripts-thingies and we should be good-to-go. Sorry for the delay. Will send out email to all affiliates a day or two before the launch and then announce it here. :)

if your sites are like your avatar you need to redesign

Here's an idea: click on the links and SEE the sites. No, sorry, that would be too easy.

And my avatar rocks - it says 'amateur' and that spells m-o-n-e-y.

Shot right between the eyes. brahahahaha!

Cool, looking forward to it.

i would think the mini skirts and bare bellies would make guys wanna go home and beat out their fantasies to porn. maybe there's not the right porn to help them rub it out lol

well the problem lies that the girls just starting to wear the mini skirts and belly shorts like the extra attention they get at the clubs and it is easier to get lucky in the mid west in the spring.. It's funny but in the winter in our teen and early twenty's us guys would have steady gf's to stay inside with all winter but as soon as it was nice enough to cruise we would dump our gfs and get pussy left and right :1orglaugh

I'd like to see that again with at least the unique hits showing.

i see the same pattern! Last couple of days really really bad!

same shit over here, first half of the month was very decent and then it hit.

Sales are back! We are saved!

Not back for met yet :(

what SilentBob saif about the early spring weather in the Midwest and Northeast - it's been unseasonably warm, like mid May weather. for people who don't live in cold weather climates you don't understand what it's like to go through 5 straight months of winter and then suddenly it's 60 degrees - spring fever, the last thing most people want to do is be inside.

so i'm sure that's a contributing factor as well as what Robbie pointed out. plus tax season.

Represent sites that are rare, and that you can not get on a tube site. ;) Regular porn is free, free, FREE.

Rare sites usually have very less content inside members area and payout is also pretty low. I promote such a sponsor with revshare and for every sale I get some like $12 on revshare. Ratio is good but I'm lucky If a member rebills next month. I'm not pushing extremely saturated sponsors like juggcash and so on.

Sales have been average this month so far and satisfactory for me. Last 2-3 days have been horrible.

I have never ever seen something like this since i started in this biz over 13 years ago.
On my end, you are talking about 75% drop all of the sudden. I knew it was coming but it is by far, worst than i thought and going down WAYYYYYYY more faster then i could ever imagine. Every week (not years or months, WEEKS) i see a decline. Like in the big catastrophic movies talking about the end of the world in less than a month, well it's happening right now.

0:8000
0:11000
0:45000 and so on and so on...

Of course, less and less rebills.

If you have 10 servers with 1000 domains, you should be ok. You will feel the drop for sure but you should manage unless you bought a 2 000 000 house with a boat, ferrari etc...
If you are used to 30k a month and you drop to 15k, it's the end of the world for you. The same goes for someone making 5k/month and drops to 2.5k.

I can't find a solution. It's going way to fast for me right now. No turn around possible.
Hosting companies will have to adjust cause lots of people will leave the boat.:2 cents:

the beginning of the end

:mad: what is going on!

The worst thing you can do is PANIC when sales are off....keep your head down, keep WORKING, doing what you have to do, and sales will return. Faith is a powerful thing.

Of course, if this is the case two months from now then PANIC away...

You do something wrong. Let me guess, you still use the same methods as 13 years ago. I can't even use one method to make sales for a month, then its time to do something new again. Ratios below 1:1000 are bad, of course it depends on your techniques, everyone sends traffic differently. But for me, ratios didn't change since I started, which was in 2001-2002. But as I said, I don't do the same things for long, I try to change stuff every few weeks, try new things, new methods, etc. I try to keep up with new trends.

hmm Tube rules

Tubes helped most people. Before they had a hard time to blame their bad sales on something...most found reasons anyway, tgps, then mgps, password sites, forums, etc...now its easy. "Bad sales? Must be the tubes!" I remember that every year people complained about something, every year since I started, it was always something responsible for their failure other tham themselfs.

I am noticing and saying the same shit my friend....from $10k to 3k in 2 days! ...and still dropping.
It is the beginning of the end so lets accept that it was fun while it lasted, now it is over to something else. This business will fold the day ccbill goes under.

So you were doing $10K a day and now you doing $3K a day?

Yeah exactly. Im not even an outside type person and I was outside all day today.

66 here in central IN today.

Oh yeah....

TGP guys especially but even blogs and tubes....

There is a huge hack going around right now that only works on certain browsers and works with cookies so it only shows every so often. Im in the middle of tracking it down right now but basically it redirects from your site to a fake tube video page that installs an .exe

Not good.

today also very shitty with ccbill and all other sponsors too.

It's sad how trying to earn an honest buck can be such an uphill battle.

andrej is the word yo

Yeah, Im seeing the same low sales. Funny thing now is, CCBill is stable at awesome numbers. Go figure :uhoh

Nothing to do with bad economy, for the simple fact that Mainstream Sales are better than ever.

Nothing to do with VISA or Banks or Media apocaliptic news, for the simple fact that Mainstream Sales are better than ever.

Niche processor? Maybe. But, you basically can't sell something that is offered for free EVERYWHERE and pretend to make a profit like in 2002. And no. I'm not talking about tubes.

Ditto.

All numbers are lower now, even mainstream. If you make more than before that doesn't mean that mainstream is up. Just check some economic news and those numbers, everything is a little down now, its pretty much a domino effect. Because of globalisation if a bank in Seattle goes down a guy in Peru may earn less money in his job, thats how tied together everything is.

exactly, same here ..

Very very low sales numbers in the past 4 days.

1:4900 since friday. Overall march 1:2198

So you're trying to say that you come up with at least 12 different ways every year to send traffic?.....REALLY? :ugone2far . And we already know about submitting, SEO, social networks, viral, youtube, myspace, etc. etc.

Ok then, tell us the techniques that you used three months ago....And be sure NOT to tell us what you're doing recently as that would be letting everyone know your secret...But I'm sure you can say what you were doing three months ago since it's outdated and you don't do it anymore since you're running up in here with paragraph after paragraph of, "I'm adapting" which helps nobody.

Not different ways to send traffic, different ways to make the surfer join. I only promote sponsors who allow me to use my own tour and just send to their join page. I change tours, banners, text all the time.

i think one problem is many promote the same sites.

why not try new sites.

i am still doing well with my www.mrban.com sites mainly as they are not promoted heavily.

adapt or die.

what he said

per month

Did the same thing. Have been seeing some wild fluctuations in March but every time I try my own card(s) goes right through :(

I thought exactly the same. Does changing the background color of the join page once per month count?

still shitty, when will it pick up??? jesus christ

It is the economic crisis all over again ! :'(

Last 2 day's have been ok. Not great but decent.

Yes, yesterday was ok. Today too soon to tell, but I have had worse starts.

yesterday was OK for me too. Today has banged my ass again. Very slow today.

lots of debate.
