STFU Troll. One Yawn was not funny to begin with.

Back to the topic on hand - yes, last couple of days sucked. What sucks is that even with shitty conversions last few days, most offers were either getting capped or discontinued.
 


the last bloody week has sucked for me. i've seen epcs as low as $0.23 (ouch) for campaigns that normally hit $2+ (from my end not the networks).

here's hoping the next weeks better or its back to the lab for a replacement.
 
Our traffic went down significantly. Some offers changed their checkout pages to clearer billing, which shows the customer getting charged $100's and not$3.95. Also many cap issues, and everyone being away on holiday stuffing their fat asses.
 
My EPC was about the same.. but WAY LESS traffic..

You obviously didn't see the other thread.
 
Yawn

And that goes to the whole fucking thread. Oh noes, my PR dropped! Oh noes, cpc just went up! Oh noes, google deindexed 10 pages! What is next, discussing adsense daily fluctuations?
 
I don't do anything with Acai, and I don't know much about this shit like some of you guys do, but I would guess that the holidays would be a bad time to push weight loss products.

- People are spending their money on others this time of year. The typical person that would worry about their weight enough to spend money on a fucking berry, but not enough to go to the gym, would typically, at least from what I've seen, be the kind of person that spends way more than they should on gifts for other people.

- Giving any type of weight loss product as a gift is a horrible idea. I don't think I need to explain this one.

- Most of the people, in my eyes, that would buy an acai or any weight loss product from the internet for that matter, would be women. I could be wrong as fuck here, but I would guess that women are the majority of consumers of natural weight loss products. Women that are insecure (overweight) tend to overgift, so they have less $$ left for themselves. Also, no dude out there is stupid enough to get a weight loss product for a female, unless he is trying to piss her off (I have done it, but I'm an asshole)

If I were pushing Acai offers, I would personally tap the brakes on my spending and try to level out my spend/income with the offers through the holidays... You might take a huge cut, but if you do it right, I'm sure you can still scale it down to where you don't lose money, and you might still trickle in a bit of extra cash.

Come january, hit the ground running. The holidays are over, the gifting is over, thinking about other people besides yourself is over, and everyone has spent nearly 30 days eating food. Then they sit around for a few days, get shitfaced drunk and watch fireworks.

New year, new resolutions, and bitches wanna get fit for fucking Valentines day.

Just my .02 :)
 
I totally agree with the above comment too but i would just get out of affiliate marketing all together until next year

Yeah, I gave a chick a can of slim fast for Valentine's day one year. But it was all in good fun. I'm sure it wouldn't have gone over as smoothly if she was actually fat.
 
It's thanksgiving dudes, all the fatsos are getting their eat on from now until Christmas. Expect your scammy Acai berries to pop off in Jan.
 
I'll bet the tightening up also has to do with the few upcoming lawsuits that a few of us are trying to guage and the rumor of the FTC investigation. Along with holiday season, state of the economy and any other bad converting sales excuse you want to toss onto the pile. Sometimes offers just die. Remember that Acai Berries aren't meant for weightloss in the first place, they are antioxidants so its not like just because it says Acai means it will work. Also after months of nonstop advertising on Myspace and FB and everywhere else, people get used to seeing it and lose interest. Perhaps its time to think of a new way to sell the product instead of copying the damn girlsnameweightloss blog concept.

Bottom line, its not one thing, its a long combination of a bunch of things. So either ride the wave and risk drowning or get the fuck out of the water you pussies.
