Again nice , awesome job and I "found" the blog , so having seen it awesome job again ;-))
You have come a long way mate
Out of everything you wrote , my only criticism is where you said "1 in 25 join page conversions" and frankly being concerned with ratios when you have little info of your own to no what they are. ;-))
You have absolutely no idea what you convert at or what you are sending out...Don't buy into the scam ;-)
Read Bills posts above ..... know what traffic YOU send out , not what they say you send , and THEN you'll know what you convert at ;-)
If not before you know it you will be discussing UVOVUNS with Serge ;-)
