damn...........America is under attack. Iraq?

I hope Bush is up to this job. I hope his old man and some of his cronies are heading to Washington to take control of the White House.

something must have taken over control of the planes controls or autopilot. That second plane was flying along in a clear cloudless sky, then starts turning and smashes into the building. Either suicide or sabatoge.

Morning Oprano

Just wanted to clarify some points re The Statistician:)

"Hey Vegas Lee!!! I did go over the numbers, and have some opinions. One of them is I notice that none of the big boys were put in it"

Mike who in your opinion are big boys? We tested some big programs this week.

Some of the sites requested tests and some didnt. We are trying to be as independant as we can in selecting sites and are happy to take requests and suggestions:)

CE have a banner on the paper because they requested one the first day it was issued.

The reason why more CE sites werent tested was because of the Free join they have, we will be trying to test programs that run the same way, we hope to start testing on recurring and free programs plus the software progys coming out.

We will also be starting live testing of hosting companies, processors and other resources in the next few weeks:)

"I also wonder if the people who are publishing the information can be fair and honest, when if they would report poor conversions from their sponsors would look very badly and might cause sponsors to pull their plug"

Mike, did you actually read the paper? Most of the sites tested are sponsors at Netpond...will we lose sponsors? Maybe, we thought long and hard about that issue.

At the end of the day we tried to balance everything by mixing traffic, if Aga was to send pure SE traffic im sure most sponsors would perform well, however most webmasters dont have SE traffic in the same quanitities so its watered down with traffic of lesser quality.

We will be fine tuning the traffic mix but need to start somewhere and sites will all be retested at some stage with different traffic.

For most webmasters the days of 1:300 traffic is long gone, most webmasters are doing alot worse than that, alot of newer webmasters think the net is still a goldmine, there expectations of traffic quality and earnings potential are not realistic, all the Statistician does is point out that most traffic converts worse than 1:1000 its a fact not a secret.

its not a refelection of Sponsors being good or bad based on conversion ratios, We are noticing that most sponsors have some sites that perform very well, webmasters may target sites better because of the paper.

Re discrepancies in click counts, well we only count what we send, programs all have there own counting methods, some sites that count second page earn more than some sites counting first page, its an indicator thats all.

Hope thats clarified some things:)

Now I got to pack my bags for holiday to Switzerland so Aga will pop in to see if there are any more questions:)


have a good day everyone sorry for long post:)

Lee you are right about the numbers, I guess I have taken it for granted that there is some weird counting going on. Between people counting 2nd page, 3rd page whatever.


As far as this statement "Seems that there is only ONE sponsor advertiesed on the site, and I did notice that there is not alot of his sites tested, but the one site of his that was tested came out in the bottom of bucket. "

I was refering to netpond in general not just the the zine... :-) But I am sure you knew that...

My opinion at this time is that either people have really crappy software that can not count a hit or they did not learn now to count in school from what I see on that site.

Now you might be right, those numbers might also be at fault but is seems that when there is a patteren of different sites, on the same programs all counting short that something is not right.

Seems that there is only ONE sponsor advertiesed on the site, and I did notice that there is not alot of his sites tested, but the one site of his that was tested came out in the bottom of bucket.

I also wonder if the people who are publishing the information can be fair and honest, when if they would report poor conversions from their sponsors would look very badly and might cause sponsors to pull their plug.

Lets be honest, I do not trust the numbers - because it is not truly an independant, dis-interested third party handling it.

It is kinda like Ford sponsoring a car contest then picking the Explorer as best SUV.

I just wanted to give an unsolictied shoutout to Insite Investments. I've had some weird things happening with my mail lately and had notcied that I'd missed a few checks from Insite. They were pretty small, so I overlooked them. Well, then I'm checking stats and noctied I hadn't changed my mailing address in the stats area. So Angela assisted me and issued new checks without any questions. They were still going to the old address due to the new address not being on their offline computer. So I emailed her again with the correct address and she immediately stepped into action and personally saw that new checks were issued.

I just wanted to give a big thank you to Insite adn especially Angela who helped out (and these were puny checks too). She went above and beyond to assist me and I truly appreciate it. THAT's service.

So, if any of you are questioning Insite, then question no more and use these guys. JohnIP, you and your staff are truly a class act. All too often on the boards, all we see are pissing matches and people snipping at each other, so I decided to post a shout out to a truly class organization.

Well, it will make it a lot more interesting to watch the game tonight. :)

See you all after the game.

i posted my number before i knew kk's. i could have picked my winning number!! i thought for sure kk had grabbed it before me. well there is a whole season in front of us.
about that article, it appears to me that they used mainly white children that were from a middle class home.
"Most of the children in the study were white youths who had run away from middle-class homes. Less than a quarter of the children in the report were from impoverished homes, Estes said."

also they only picked seventeen cities in the united states that were already known to have extensive problems. no wonder they got such a high ratio. they also used some past studies. but i feel it still favors the high ratios to make a point to the rest of the united states that doesn't pay attention to the study legistics.

Way to go Sandra with the "super-lowball" tactic! Smooth is what I call it! Good Luck to all of you tonight!

LOL Thanks, KK, I think I'm smart enough to pick this total - it's 2.

Actually, I think the number may end up being somewhere between Edd and KK's number, but I don't have the *ahem* guts to pick that number - and I'm not sure enough of the Broncos to go over 46.

If nothing else, I'm just tickled that I got 11 right. This pool is actually going to make the season more interesting - not that my Bears would ever do anything to help it along.

You're doing great Sandra, there's what appears to me to be a really simple number for you, but yeah we are waiting on you to pick a total number of combined points scored :)

As for that ridiculous headline to that article, if they had at some point even hinted to what they were referring to, maybe we would know that 1 in 100 of some category of children were abused.

But putting a headline on an article like that just to get attention is plain stupid.

-----------
For the project, researchers selected 28 cities in the three countries, based on the cities' size and reputations for having problems with commercial sexual exploitation of children.

Just another example of people skewing stats. That's like saying 90% of all men are perverts but getting all of your subjects from penthouse's customer list!

I'm totally amazed. I thought I knew a bit about football, but tied for first is a total surprise. lol

Okay, I'm driving myself nuts with trying to pick the total. If I'm not mistaken, KK picked 46, Edd picked 38, and Tera picked 36. Is this correct? Or are you waiting for my total, KK? LOL

Gotta fix dinner. Back in a bit to see if there's an answer and hopefully some clue as to what I'm doing.

KK I read the article as well - I think that number is very high. we would be talking about 1% of all children - that would be a HUGE number. This is an article probably written by someone who wanted to do well, but did not comprehend the numbers.

I do not trust the press, reporters today are advocates rather then reporters and twist things to fit their life views. Especially in USA today! haha

What is this 1 in 100 number? 1 in 100 of what? The same story basically ran in USAToday and while it is absolutely sad that this happens, that ratio is based on nothing I can find in the article and certainly not on the number of children there are in the US...

Sorry Monk - this is MY 4 way! better luck next time! I had to beg KK and Tera to let me play! ;) Good luck to you ladies!

May the best guesser win! MikeAI is right - My getting in 1st place is proof any guesser can win! Of course, this is probably the extent of good luck I'll be entitled to for the rest of the year :(

Oh well!
