Stocking Mania

When did Stocking Mania become a tube site?

http://www.stocking-mania.com/

Looking at my traffic stats it appears the change occurred about 12 hours ago. Incoming traffic went from 20/hr to zero. I've disabled my trade.

Just seems really odd. I am still not convinced about tubes/mhgs. I have deliberately created specific affiliate accounts for some of my sponsors to track mhgs at Glam Images. I need to look at it more closely but initial results suggest pic galleries work far better than MHGs.

Of course I am not a tube site so that might make a difference.

Looks like no more traffic trades but at the bottom they kept some hardlinks

Some of the sites in that list have been DOA for quite some time. I think the list just got copied from a prior template.

Never been able to get a trade going with them even before this. I don't know who runs/owns it, but I have found them less than helpful in the past. Maybe it's changed hands and hence the new style?

[Toby]

It is/was owned by Liz, aka Webgurl, and her partner CrazyAl. Same people that own and run CashCore affiliate program.

Webgurl just resurfaced over on Medium Pimpin's forum earlier this month, indicating that she was back and had been travelling over the last year. There was also mention of a new position working with PornTube.com.

I don't know if she still owns Stocking-Mania and/or CashCore.

The last contact I had with her was well over a year ago. She hit me up wanting me to promote CashCore stocking sites. I explained my policy regarding pre-checked cross sales, and that I'd only promote her sites if she could get me non-cross sale linking codes. She said she'd look into it, but I never heard back.

She is a Vancouver girl. I have heard about her....just sayin'

[jscott]

I'm pretty sure the site didn't change ownership.

I was thinking that since CrazyAl does TokyoPorn which transformed to tube site, probably seeing better results he/they chose to do the same to Stocking-Mania..... just my theory

Hey JScott cool board I joined ages ago didn't post yet, but basically you are right. Stocking Mania has dropped in traffic over the last couple years as all my tgps have and I have been planning to change over to a tube for a while now. My only worry was could I get enough true stocking fetish video content from sponsors to support the change and this is still a concern but I felt I had to make the switch now or continue to watch the traffic drop.

All my hardlinks are still active on the tgp http://www.stocking-mania.com/tgp/classic.html and I still continue to update that page. I have also posted the top list on all the main pages of the tube.

Sorry if this has screwed any of the trades with you guys, I don't skim so it's hard for me to control out traffic.

One of my sites was among your Top 5 referrers and it completely disappeared from your Top List. AmesLegs at number 11 has been DOA for well over a year.

A Toplist is pretty useless when it has no basis in real referral numbers.

Also, the classic TGP on a new page is also pretty useless when the new tube on the old URL is going to get all the incoming traffic. Not going to be much traffic going out from the old page on the new URL.

IMO, not a very well thought out or executed transition with regards to traffic trades.

Error on my part, the script for the toplist was not tracking correctly this has been fixed now.

OKi , I talked to Webgurl in ICQ, and she told me the ancient version is still viewable on http://www.stocking-mania.com/tgp/classic.html

But that's not really relevant to those of us that had traffic trades. Traffic to my sites from Stocking-Mania since the change has been zero.
