November Sales

[Smooch]

How are you guys doing with sales this month?

I know of a few sponsors in the nylon niche who are experiencing very low sales this week in particular on CCBill, Netbilling.

Just wondered if this is a trend everyone is seeing, or just a few unlucky paysite owners.

sales ? what is it ...?

sales are down with ccbill ... and every ohter system

maybe its only me but this month is horrible

[nyllover]

We had a truly slow first half of this month, but now things are getting a bit better and we are on the same level as October...but surely not one of our best months..

Roughly the same as Oct at the mo. Each month beats the last so far.

I have 19 refunds so far for November, otherwise I'd be having a good month, but 19 refunds so far, that makes for a HORRIBLE month for me

We are doing ok, just about. Slightly up on October.

However this week is so, so typical of recent times. By Wednesday we were having a pretty good week then everything collapsed. Thursday was very bad, yesterday was even worse. In two days we have gone from good to shit.

To be honest it's www.glamourimages.net that is the biggest problem. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Sunday thru Wednesday conversion was at 1:330 (based on raw clicks/CCBill). Thursday was 1:1793 and Friday 1:2100.

Same site, same traffic in, same clicks out - but nothing sold.

Go figure.

Just an update now the week has finished. Paysites were just about ok but GI died from Thursday right thru Saturday finishing about 30% below average.

From sales on the paysites it looks like it's affiliate sales which have suffered as commissions were well below normal.

I generally don't pay too much attention to daily or weekly totals, but this thread got me curious enough to go look a bit more closely.

Month to date is a bit down over last month, more than a few below average days over the first half of the month, but numbers for the last week have been decent.

Not really enough info to draw conclusions from other than it isn't a system wide issue issue with CCBill or my numbers would also be down over the last week.

Am always looking to improve so have revamped the site a little and would appreciate any constructive comments via PM please.

Still on track to be doing a little better than last month.

Getting more frequent affiliate updates out would help you!

Hi Toby

I am not convinced by the CCBill idea. We had a great day yesterday after three shockers - and I didn't update any of the sites!!! All well good you might think but -

All sales on the paysites came in just 20 mins yesterday morning then absolutely nothing from then until now

On GI I got all the sales in two batches. One batch in 5 mins yesterday morning then another 5 all at exactly the same time yesterday evening - then nothing for 13 hours.

I reckon they are batching transactions (or at least notifications) of affiliate sales for some reason we will never know.

Incidentally all other non CCBill sales are even worse this month LOL!

There will be more aff galleries coming. Am working on making the site more marketable.

What's wrong with answering that here? It's not like it's anything secret or personal.

Am asking because of a bad and counter-productive experience on another forum. I have alot of time for this forum because people are professional.

Yes, middle of last week was when other site owners experienced a sharp fall. Worst in 5 years in one case.

As an affiliate I'm not having a good month on new sales. Last weekend was quite good, then it dried up again.
