HI allseeing,
It is difficult. My site isn’t profitable yet either. It is 3 years old, but I just started giving it the attention it requires in the last few months after some helpful posts in this forum inspired me to give it another shot.
In my experience, you need to send at least 500 unique ct before you can evaluate a partner’s conversion performance. Note, half the affiliate programs exaggerate how many visitors you send them.
Conversions (deposits – not sign ups) can also take time, especially if you are promoting sites with a pre-deposit bonus. I’ve noticed an echo conversion boost a couple of weeks after some of my marketing sprees.
PS – anyone else noticing far less deposits this month (December 2005) compared to last month?
