Scrub wise, on adult gateways - you can steady those out. Not saying everyone has or knows how to though but it is possible.

It's mostly the 3rd party processors that we see the huge jumps.


I've been working my tail off for four months now, basically this entire year, adding new sites and increasing traffic 45%. Yet I see these patterns of which you speak. I have four websites that convert steady - amazingly steady, actually - so it's relatively easy to track since the traffic is coming from the same exact sources, the CTRs are the same, the uniques are up, the length of visit is off the charts, basically all the Stats I use (form hits, submissions, etc etc) to calculate trends are all UP - except these crazy patterns happen.

For example: Fellucia Blow has a rock-solid steady conversion ratio of 1:300 from tube traffic (YouPorn, RedTube, PornHub, et al). So from 5000 uniques she'll get fifteen-twenty sales. We've pumped up to forty thousand uniques in a day to her site expecting 120+ sales, right? Sometimes we get that, sometimes not. It seems that over a certain amount of hits - and this is excluding return visitors/bookmarks - that's when the ratios drop like a stone. In other words: 1-5000 hits = fifteen-twenty sales; 5000-20,000+ hits = 10-15 sales. Odd.

And Doc - amazing info, cheers mate!! You have indeed fixed what ails me with your insights.

yea signups hit the abs breaks

RegUser 04-23-2010 02:35 PM

yes Thats exactly what I have been saying all this time.....visa and MC have decided to choke off this industry. No need to panic, it is going to be over soon.
The industry that is

I would say it's been going on 6-9 months now.

Fabien 04-28-2010 08:41 AM

Well i said 3 months but yeah, it's more or less 6 to 9 months.

Damn

Something is going on behind the scene. May has started horrible.... Very less submits are going through...

jackknoff 05-07-2010 08:56 PM

Laws have changed in regards to late, overdraft fees and who that can offer credit cards to in the U.S. It may or may not have something to do with it...


Spanx!

One of the biggest reasons to tweak your ACH (check) joins!
