How are your July AEBN sales?
 

My sales are up significantly so far this month. I made some changes to my promos last week, but with the recent AEBN web site update I'm wondering which is more responsible?

With the design change I haven't a clue. The entire right side of my screen is gone so I can't check how many members I have (last week I had 7,999 and wanted to be sure I went over 8k), no clue which of my movies are doing well, etc. The new design is horrible

Re: How are your July AEBN sales?
 

New design looks good to me, no width issues, but then I'm using a 1440x900 screen.

My stats show that over 95% of my visitors are running at 1024 or wider. Less than 5% at 800x600.

Mine are up a little...nothing to write home about yet though.

Re: How are your July AEBN sales?
 

I may be wrong here, but don't I remember you saying you turned off a bunch of the "flashy stuff" on your browser in websites a couple years ago?
It was a few years ago, as I recall, but maybe I'm thinking of someone else?

No offense meant Toby, but didn't you lose allot of weight from a couple years ago?

Re: How are your July AEBN sales?
 

No offense taken. I've lost a little over 100 lbs. since the end of Sept. Still have about 50-60 lbs. more to lose.

I don't do Flash so yes, a Flash stats area makes it difficult for me. Usually I'll email the sponsor and ask if they have an html version. I get stats daily in Stats Remote and as I've mentioned before, the beginning of the month on AEBN always sucks, stats go down 80% for the first few days. I don't know why but it happens every single month, then they get back to normal and I always do better each month, but it's just odd how the first few days suck.

Re: How are your July AEBN sales?
 

Hmmm, for me it's just the opposite. The first part of the month is usually better than the end of the month. But... that still doesn't explain the start to this month. In just 6 days my total for July is already more than half what I did for the entire month of June.

We're the same as Pam. The first week or so of every month is slower than the rest of the month. I just checked, and we aren't up or down

Re: How are your July AEBN sales?
 

Well... if others aren't experiencing a similar boost in sales then I can probably eliminate the recent AEBN changes as having any factor in my increased sales month to date.

The changes I made weren't all that drastic, but sometimes it's the subtle things that surprise you. I'll keep watching and see if the numbers persist through the month or if probability and random chance are just fuckin' with me.

Thank George Bush for this Summer boost. That little tax incentive bonus they mailed out came in handy for lots of porn lovers.

Re: How are your July AEBN sales?
 

Bullshit. If that were the case I'd be seeing increases across the board, not just on one sponsor.

Re: How are your July AEBN sales?
 

Then I guess you're the exception to the rule because sales are up across the board for me and everyone I've talked to.

Someones lying...

Re: How are your July AEBN sales?
 

How bout a good old "Lights Out, Steel Cage Match" to settle this once and for all!

And Buckwheat as guest referee . . . Tickets on sale now . . BE THERE!

I've been tracking and graphing my sales since we started our first paysite with Carol's site in January 1996, so can see trends quite easily. We also handle the billing for close to 100 other websites, so I have full access to all that. I just don't see any sort of new trend as a result of the tax bonus in the US. Everything is sitting where I expect it to sit.

Looks like I'm not the only one that noticed. http://news.yahoo.com/s/usnw/2008070...ding_to_aimrco

You are kidding, right?

You're actually quoting a press release from Mishkin?? That guy hasn't issued a valid release since the day he started. He'll say anything to spam his sites.

Re: How are your July AEBN sales?
 

Yes, I was kidding. Although I must admit that if enough of the general public was to read reports like that it might give them some good ideas.

Re: How are your July AEBN sales?
 

I also never bought the tax check excuse for porn. More then likely people are going to spend that money on a mortgage or in the gas tank.

Looks like it was just a great pr/marketing move. That guy just got 3 of his no name websites international mainstream coverage, lmao

As far as our sales, the current trend is same as it always is each year.

AVN Online columnist Tom Johansmeyer says "I took a look at LSGModels.com and MoreyStudio.com, and they look like low-rent adult sites at best," he added.

Yeah, LSGModels and their 5,255 Alexa ranking is a low rent site. lmao

Re: How are your July AEBN sales?
 

Yeah but the conversion ratio is what sticks to the fridge.

Re: How are your July AEBN sales?
 

True, but he said it "looks" low rent. How can he tell from looking how much money that site makes? Just based on looking, I'd say it does very well indeed.

Re: How are your July AEBN sales?
 

I would agree. But its so damn hard to tell. I have seen sites with really big numbers and were not doing well. I have no idea about this one. It looks good but kinda boring.
