Sales sucks!
 

I have to start thread because every time I do it, sales come back to normal in matter of few days. :thumbsupSo here it is: sales sucks big time, I don't know why, are there some holidays or what.

Yes, christians celebrate something.. :1orglaugh

same problem here.

Femdom has a big problem with content on forums and filelockers. It's insane how much is out there. I did some research the other day and I was blown away by what is on some of these forums.

It's a lousy time of year. Also a lot of niche femdom seems to be shot by photographers who also run their own sites or just sell on clips4sale and have no clue what a dmca email is or how to protect content

is the sales actually missing or is it the actual sales credits that are missing?

Swirlsgirl the original gfy conspiracy theorist

it's no conspiracy arock that sales credits can be missing:)

Sales missing. People are not joining. .....about consipracy theories: Ive recently found a sponsor with big site that was redirecting my traffic to their clips 4 sale :)

Lots of times I would assume it is sponsor related, no new content, content is not good, not what was promised, content not up to par, upsales, and of course traffic leaks....:2 cents:

Probably hit the CCBill 22 sale/wk limit. Ask them to refresh your limit.

I've seen sales slump in the Summer. Anyone else witness this trend?

yes no porn sells. everyone please go back to selling typewriters

does that include rebills?

Sails are for sunsets.

Sales were rockin' until last week when the completely shit the bed. Doh!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:pimp

Tell you what. I have many domain names that have been online since the late 1990's. Last August, Google decided that a shitload of (un-related) tube videos and three page malware infested sites are more relevant than the sites I have been updating for over a decade.

That is fine as it finally forced me to leave adult. What I do not understand is why Google is allowed to control so much internet traffic. Google is just about the worst search engine on the internet.

I complain a lot about piracy and it has hurt the paysite portion of this industry but like you I took a tremendous traffic hit right about that time. We were discussing it in another thread and the EMD update was suggested but I think there were other changes as well. Prior to that change despite all the piracy I was able to build traffic at a rate greater than the rate of conversion decline. I was continually building paysite income.

Thankfully right around that time I started new projects not as focused on affiliate paysite sales which are doing better traffic wise but I would easily say that Google created the biggest hit for me within the last three years right there. It's no secret that they absolutely hate affiliates and they love pirates because that's what the people want to see. They want it all for free. Google doesn't make exceptions unless you grease up the politicians and sue them as the MPAA and RIAA does.

Yep its slow right now :(

True dat.

:2 cents::2 cents:

My Magic Join Links are working fine today

lol every single year for 10+ years

No. :pimp

I working in this industry with one rebill per month ($27 value), didn't make a sale 6 months. God please give me a sale :)

same here :(

Why you should promote twistys:

LOL. I found a sponsor who was putting banners to another program they promote on their fhgs... Un-fucking-believable.

Can't you just ask them to remove it from the links with your ids with a stupid if statement? :1orglaugh

Bad ratio?

Links pulled :helpme

Do you honestly think a program doing that, would do that? They do not even respond. :1orglaugh

I just do not use those links. The program converts well otherwise. Welcome to 2013.

yeah clubdom.com converts well :thumbsup

Hot blonde babes with huge tits, won't convert...

It's a waste of traffic. :)

So who was it?

I've just checked last year stats from May 1st to 5th.
Last year conversion - 1:678 (all sponsors combined, which means ccbill sites also)
This year: 1:6224.

It is not possible that it is almost 10 times worse just like that. Especially if last month was completely normal.

I agree there is a problem somewhere.

I have 3 separate people working on taking down links daily... File lockers and even tube sites streaming my videos for free in HD have become a big problem. Some things cannot even be combated, pirate bay is fucking me with mega packs downloads.

Thanks!
I am working on getting a better affiliate program and tour in order, hopefully it will result in more conversions!

seems like some people are doing alright... maybe its the niche.

ya the thieves are everywhere!
