Paysite owner opens the books (ratios) - GoFuckYourself.com

Boobzooka · 07-06-2008, 11:51 AM

While everyone is bitching about ratios today, I thought it would be a good time to show again how my sites are doing. I don't run a big flashy program, but we have grown dramatically since the last time I did this. So here it is, all affiliate sales, unadulterated, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

For those unfamiliar with CCBill stats, these are raw first-page clicks.

Stats shown are current for the past X weeks. Little fish (<20 sales) were cut off.
These sales are for both my sites, but most were to www.SellYourSexTape.com

Shap · 07-06-2008, 12:07 PM

Congrats. Great numbers.

Is that for darering or sellyoursextape or both?

payd2purv · 07-06-2008, 12:12 PM

When you own GREAT paysites and not link farms you definitely have an advantage...

commonsense · 07-06-2008, 12:14 PM

Showing stats won't get you more affiliates or sales, only copycats

Ditto

fuzebox · 07-06-2008, 12:17 PM

Are some of those affiliates linking to FHG's through the affiliate link? Some of the traffic numbers + ratios are pretty high...

As for me I'm 1:644 with one sale for sellyoursextape

I acutal tried non-recurring on one of our sites after reading one of your post/threads about how well you did with it... didn´t work well for us, but it was interesting to try

Congrats on your sites - while many people treat this business as a cookiecutter business, then it can pay to be different

Link farms? How do link farms have anything to do with how well a paysite is doing? Either you are confusing the terminology that you have learned surfing GFY or you are going off in another direction than what the poster is trying to say.
Does anybody know how to get invited to the secret section where it's just guys that own sites?

marketsmart · 07-06-2008, 12:21 PM

i would venture to say that your stats are better thasn most these days because you really have a nice niche... but, like was said earlier, why post stats.. you want 20 copycat sites up by tomorrow...

There are paysites that are link farms. You sign up and they have links to everywhere but good content. He could also be talking about paysites that are just a collection of feed links.

I think there is an error somewhere in there cause I dont see myself back in those stats.
What is the exact timeframe?
1440891 should be in there. My ratios is less better as the others in the stats. I am not complaining though.
Total amount of sales 637 with a ratio of 1:440
Last two weeks : 23 sales with a ratio of 1:509

Looks weird to me...still...I am not complaining!

So you don't mind competition but on the multiple times that I have tried to contact you for model trades, to help you where your 2257 was not legit, and to send you traffic...You ignored me each and every time.

Interesting.....

I'm sorry, but I have not seen any of this stuff, and I'm at my computer all day long answering emails, so I'm at a loss to explain why yours alone would not be reaching me. Please try to hit both [email protected] and [email protected] and we'll see what happens. If you don't hear back from me, come back to this thread. Thanks.

Well, I can't speak for the emails but at least 2 of the times were here on GFY.

And how is it you know that my messages alone are not reaching you? If you're not getting them, you would not know it therefore it kinda seems a bit assumptive to state that only mine are not being received.

I didn't give the exact time frame because that would be revealing too much info about a private business on a public message board. I'm a paysite owner showing affiliates what they could expect if they were promoting my sites, not bragging about my personal income.

But I'm glad I'm getting such a positive response to the overall ratios. I suspected we were doing better than average but, this being GFY, I figured whatever stats I posted would be shit on.

For the record...I love your sites and marketing. I think you've got a great niche and handle it very well.

Is there a ref code to send traffic to your sextape site without having to send the surfer through that Warning Page?

great looking sites. forgot about these.

Iron Fist · 07-06-2008, 06:10 PM

I wasn't trying to be a dick. I'm just saying I have to do support all day long dealing with emails from dumbasses all over the world, so I don't know why ones from Portland wouldn't be delivered.

I do now vaguely recall emailing you a very long time ago after some GFY post, but I don't think I ever heard back, and I don't think you were specific on the boards about what you wanted from me. It was ages ago, and I don't post here much, except to spam occasionally, then make other posts while I'm waiting for replies, so that I don't look like such a spammer.

Did you try those addresses yet? When you publicly say something as serious as "2257 not legit" I hope you will contact me to explain what you mean. My records are mindnumbingly organized.

No, I didn't try emailing you. I wanted to talk with you about those things months ago, not today.

Your records may be well organized but that doesn't make your site compliant. My guess is that you are not using an attorney who specializes in adult.

You may want to contact J.D. Obenberger over at xxxlaw.com and ask him for a consultation.

So why did you bring it up today?

You make an ambiguous accusation in a thread about my business, that you know could easily be misinterpreted as something dangerous, and then act all nonchalant like it was me that started this conversation by calling you at home during dinner.

Look, I'm sorry I missed your email, or you missed mine, months ago. It sounds like you were just trying to be helpful, or make us both more money, and that's appreciated. Whatever the reason for the miscommunication, it wasn't an intentional snub, so no need for board drama. If you still know models interested in the SYST project, I have endless commissions to offer. If you have traffic that would benefit you more by sending it to my sites instead of another site, common sense says push it. If you have further sensitive concerns, contact me privately.

I'm sorry -- that's way too diplomatic and reasonable for GFY. You should add a mean comment about how you could buy and sell Aaron or possibly criticize his photography or facial hair.

I see you don't post much so I can understand why you don't know the ropes.

I was amazed when I did the same thing. First comparing sellyoursextape.com to darering.com, and then suicidegirls.com, and ftvgirls.com, and every other "name" adult site I could think of, you know, just to compare e-peen sizes.

It's incredibly fun to watch something you've created reach out to so many people across the whole planet. Unbelievable.

We had some guy contact us to copy the Truth or Dare site. He has joined as a member and sent us some clips and asked us the price. When we told him the price he freaked and disappeared. This also happened on a few other sites. they keep thinking this level can be shot by anyone for next to nothing.

Well done DareRing you're proving that good porns sells in a market where so many with crap porn are getting out.

Well this niche will always do well I suppose, nothing like sex between people who actually want to have sex with each other.
