Finally!  Ratios returned to norms for many sponsors in December, 2009.
We are about to give up on gay dating.  Gay surfers must be too sophisticated for that — or the reality is 98% of us probably use Manhunt.
As usual, the sponsors with the best ratios below always get the most clicks — the 0 sales [...]

November was worse than October, but December is looking to be one of the best months this year — maybe best yet!
Below are the ratios of the sponsors we sent 100+ unique clicks to.  Luckily, our bigger sponsors, who always perform, were sent the most traffic.
Intense Cash – 1:1,379
Top Bucks – 1:648
Adult Profit – 1:732
Loaded [...]

December stats are looking really good and we are only four full days in.
Here is to hoping it keeps up!

October sales were off and ratios were really off.
Below are the ratios of the sponsors we sent 100+ unique clicks to.  Luckily, our bigger sponsors, who always perform, were sent the most traffic.  What saved us this month is that most of the 1:xxx sponsors had multiple sales.
Loaded Cash – 0:2,121
Huge Traffic – 0:1,213
CCBill (across [...]

In our last post, I discussed sales falling off a cliff in the beginning of October.
With only a few days left, they seem to be rebounding. Dollar wise, sales for October suck across our network, but ratios are improving and starting to have some normalcy to them.
Here is hoping to a much better November!

October isn’t turning out to be too promising. The first week was promising but then things fell off a cliff.
Across all sponsors and sites, Starfish Content is converting at 1:1,278. In previous months, it usually hovered between 1:450 and 1:550.
There is still plenty of time for this month to turn around but I [...]

I could never get Stats Remote to install properly on my computer — even after doing all of the workarounds they provide.
Now, with their new beta version, I was able to get it installed.
I love Nifty Stats (and the price — free!) and never saw the sense in paying close to $30 a month for [...]

On August 28th I complained about how bad conversions were for the month.
I am happy to report that the trend has reversed and we are very happy with September’s numbers.
I will report back after the month ends with overall numbers.

Starfish Content has begun working on launching TubeBud.com, which currently redirects to TheBoyTube.com.  Our goal is to have the site fully operational no later than September 20, 2009.
Since we wanted advanced community features, we have chosen MediaXXX as the tube script to power the site.  While we still love the trusty Tube Ace, we wanted [...]
