November has unexpectedly turned out to be very sucky in terms of sales for me. Both AVS sites and free sites sucking real hard.:eek:
Anyone else? Are the processors in scrub mode?

Last month was up and down and all over the place. But this month has been really good for us. We are doing bonus Fridays this month we has made traffic picked up. This will actually be a record month for payouts. We use NetBilling, Paycom and CCBill for credit card processing. NetBilling is our first cascade and we get to scrub our own transactions. Our scrub has been very minimal since we started with them so ratios are always better for us with NetBilling in our first cascade.
As for other sponsors we are using November has also been really good. You might want to change up your pages, sponsors a bit to see if you could maybe get the rest of the month better.

I dont mean to counter your experience Intensecash, but across everything we push and our own two programs the past two weeks have been quite a bit below average. Straight and Gay.. That usually means a really good period is coming to even it all out...hopefully.
We are paying $100/sale this Sunday, November 19th for all sales to PrideMov and GayDownloadPass..maybe this will be the day things pick up..It always does!
Im having a very sucky period.
sales are down for us for our own site and the other sites we push.
same here guys. Traffics actually up but sales are way down. Seems early for the holiday slowdown but perhaps that's the reason.
Funny the only site doing well for me is broke straight boys so yeah your right Mark you guys are doing well
Broke Straights Boys isnt working for me right now but then i still have a great ratio, just no where what i did have.
Mid-November has always been the start of the Christmas slowdown period for many webmasters and as we're in mid-November im guessing that is whats being experienced.
Sales were well down for Condom Cash in the last week however today there does appear to have been a positive spike in sales so hopefully we're going to see some improvement until the 2nd/3rd week in December which is when the holiday drop occurs at its worst.
I actually just got my first sale to Gay Christmas Porn today also so im looking forward to seeing how that site does over the coming few weeks, its actually had its first sale a lot sooner than i thought it would so im happy right now LOL

Sometimes we will have an off day and I'll hit the boards looking for reports of problems. I hope that its a scrub at the processors or something. If that doesn't pan out then I pour over the stats in Google Analytics, test out sponsors sites, look for lag... everything I can think of. It seems that 9 times out of 10 though I usually come up empty handed in trying to figure out why sales are down. Moreover, someone will pipe up in my search saying that sales are great. For the most part... I've just decided there is a lot of mystery in the mix. So on those days I just write it off and let go.
With that said, yesterday actually broke our record for $ on a single day and was in the top 5% as far as quantity of sales sent out. October was a record breaking month for us, but according to our Stats Remote estimates we will beat that by about 3K here in November. I'm knocking on wood.
As an aside, Mark... I've definitly seen a pick up in conversions with you guys since you added netbilling as your primary. I was looking over our sales with you this month after seeing your post above and it's looking nice. Whatever you are doing over there sure seems to work
I am sure tomorrow will be awesome sales for you guys, that is a great promotion and Sundays sales always seem to pickup to begin with.Originally Posted by GayGravy-JJ

Shoot me an icq and I will see if I can offer any suggestions to get your ratio back where it was.
Thanks,

Wow that is awesome you guys did so well in October. I heard from alot of people that sales were slow or up and down etc. Our October was all over the place. Good luck on beating it in November.Sometimes we will have an off day and I'll hit the boards looking for reports of problems. I hope that its a scrub at the processors or something.

I'm glad you are happy with our conversions. We love NetBilling, they have been phenomenal for us.

Sales are great so far this month, however it seems that the sales with my best sponsors go down. The sponsors are converting not that well normally show great stats !
I don't try to understand why sales are sometimes better or worse. I just accept it, as I can't figure out why there can be such differences.
Sales haven't been great for my traffic but affiliate sales are going good. My site has changed greatly from the prior version. I'm seeing the conversions of amateur/review/conventional traffic converting better now than the bear/cub traffic.

I was doing well in sales until October 15, slower since then.
