Reviewing various Pay per signup programs

[SplitIce]

Ok in this thread I will be reviewing various pay per signup download providers, each provider will receive 5 days to make a sale from 100-200 clicks per day.They will be used on 2 of my ddlsites that used to make a sale every 3 days. If you have any sugestions to my review process let know, I want this to be as fair as possible.

i think you should have waited a month before reviewing them

[SplitIce]

Thats eliteelio I will review the leeders more, I actually used LatestDownloads for alot longer but have taken a sample that reflects the same time frame as the others to keep it fair.

Splitice, great thread.. love to see the results.

I should mention that reviewing a sponsor "should" be after a 6 week trial -- the reason is that I've always noticed that after getting my sponsor links out it takes 4 - 6 weeks for targetted Google hits to come in, and that's where the real income spike begins -- but I understand that would be a larger (and much longer) project that one wants to devote so much time to.

I would suggest that you include the daily traffic stats (of the website itself being used to promote each sponsor) -- as this reflects sales conversions as well.

I've also noticed, the higher the traffic, the higher the sales conversions.

Reason: Googlebot visits a higher traffic site many more times in a given day, than lower traffic sites, and hence, more of the higher traffic site's pages get indexed, which then receives more targetted Google traffic after a set period of time (which I personally believe is around 4 - 6 weeks).

sharingzone is good no need to test others

@Little Dragon Ill do a more indepth review of them all of them.

@muka i got it running on one of my sites and am very impressed.

So Splitice, any updates to this? I'm curious to see what is converting and what isn't. I have an idea what's the better program and I'm probably using it already, but I'd like to hear your findings

[SplitIce]

Ill post an update in my lunch break i supose.

[Switchblade187]

Just like I thought, Sharing Zone converts well no matter how many hits you get, you just need to put them in the right spots

[SplitIce]

Yep. 80% of the people who visit my site end up going out via a paid provider.
