who here actually has some DECENT stats with ARS?

[jake-XXXdisplay]

cause i cant get any signups lately on there... over the last 2 weeks

[Fart]

same here. Hold your ears open. I have such a feeling that we´ll hear some bad news about ars soon. I´d recommend to switch over a good part of the traffic since it can´t get worse than zero signups.

[kong]

Their ratios are good then bad with me. And the good is still half of what I get with other sponsors with the same traffic.

Its weird cause I usually have good and bad days but with ARS it seems to be good and bad weeks.

[Fart]

but then again what do 3 little jerks know

[QuietMike]

Well, I havn't been getting any signups in the last 2 weeks either. I'm a big jerk http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

I signed up for ars about 3 weeks ago and so far i have sent them 51828 unique hits from text links and banner links. no popups but its tgp traffic anbd i have got a total of 11 signups

thats a ratio of 1:4712

i also convert another sponsor siccash at 1:500 give or take with tgp traffic but that is second page hits so i dunno what the real ratio is.

[Muff]

Thats fuckin pathetic Abshard.

TGP traffic is bad but not that bad, ARS is definately got something weird going on over there.

Muff

I'm doin' alright with them right now. I'm doin' better than 1:300 mainly w/ TGP traffic. I've only been usin' them for about about a month or 2, so maybe just dumb luck goin' by what everyone else here is saying...

[kong]

eRock,

I do better than 1 in 300 with ARS too, but I do better than 1 in 150 with others sponsors.

I dont know if they shave or not cause I have'nt been with them long, but something does seem weird.

[eRock]

1:300 is pretty good for me w/ TGPs...I usually do worse w/ that traffic.

[N.A]

kong,
what sponsors do you get 1/150 with?

[Fart]

Can´t find a replacement for former ARS!!

Damn CEN is down (Sites and Program site including Stats also) but converted best in the past few days within the ARS replacement sponsors, helmy did convert a bit but still bad (almost 1:1000 to second page or whatever nasty unique counting they have), fatpockets even worse, trying MC again, but saw that they have a ratio of their_links:your_links on their (now: enter-) console of 11:17, then again changing to 12:16 (maybe more changes with every call).
The exit console for the enter console doesn´t have any of my codes at all, all on there goes for MC. I wouldn´t call that an improvement.

[Fart]

Wrong in post above: I meant 11/12 your links and 17/16 THEIR links. Few months ago that was around 55%:45% for the webmaster, and it was an exit not enter console.

[Zyonic]

ARS is the best sponsor, atleast for me.. I made a lousy $20-30 pr day 4-5 months ago.. then I changed sponsor too ARS (and made some changes to my sites) started to make £100-200 pr day.. http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif))

[Sticks]

I do ok with ARS, about 1:800, though it varies a fair bit. Mostly link list, SE, toplist and occassionally TGP traffic when I have a lapse. Last week got 11 signups from a thehun listing (100K visitors, about 3000 clicks to the particular ARS site ), first time I have got any reasonable number of signups from a TGP listing.
Part of the problem with ARS I suspect is the number of sites they run e.g.
i. their sites can run real slow, so it is not surprising that signups can just dry up. ii. It seemed to take them a few weeks to fix up their Totally tit site ( broken images).

Overall I am happy with ARS, they have outperformed other sponsors I have used on the same traffic. However I have a principle of spliting my traffic with several sponsors/processors e.g. ARS/Maxcash/CCbill sponsors/Pornmegabucks/AdultMegacash/NewyorkWhores/Flashcash.

I see a lot of reports like "it is well known that ARS shaves". However, these accussations are never backed up with hard fact.

[Ride]

I have done very good at times with ARS and shitty at times but overall they do pretty well. Plus they sent me a camcorder, dvd player, camera, vcr, and dreamcast. Reward points rock!

I have a hot and cold relationship with ARS. This month so far I am running about 1 in 271 with them and that is mostly tgp and linklist traffic. Someone said earlier that some of the sites run real slow and that is true and that definitely fucks up signups. I usually make 500-600 a week of them consistently off them even with slow loading sites. I don't know if they shave but they have gotten to where they are beating maxcash out as my best converting sponsor.
BTW do any of you know anything about Adwealth. i had a couple of people tell me they do well with them but I thought they were part of the netpond/trafficinc. thing. Any thoughts on them?

[basschick]

all i know about adwealth is that they pay us on time, convert fairly well (some niches better than others), and they are the old pinkbits crew.

a couple years ago, there was an accounting problem when we were with their old program and they made sure it got fixed and we got paid.

[The Dawg]

This week was really slow for me on CEN & ARS... but ARS has been my best sponsor over the last 8 months or so... I started sending most of my Maxcash traffic to them and did pretty good.

ARS checks do come on time and RIDE you are right, those points are nice: I got a DVD player, Surround sound system, Scanner, & a Movado watch... http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I just hope ARS doesnt go anywhere... I got truck payments to make. http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
