After chatting with a friend of mine this morning and we were talking about places that we get referrals from and then it came up that rumor is they do not work. Have you heard this before – I know I have many times and you know how you can stop the rumors – track, track, track and I’m going to give you some examples. These examples are from my tracker mod and it tracks where members have their links – the admin stats are separate and not listed.
CTP – love them or hate them – sometimes you run across things that you may not totally agree with the way the owners are doing things or you simply don’t like the owners – but ask yourself are why are you making the decision to use or not use a site and here are the results from there – copied from my tracker and you will see the domain name, amount of hits and then last number is amount of signups

Donkeymails – rumor is they do not work – now I know I have heard that this site is a spam site, it don’t work and is a waste of time but after seeing the tracking results

PTC sites – rumor is they do not work and are waste of of time – how many times have you heard that. All the people on PTC (paid to click) just click and don’t really look at the ads – sound familiar?

Mailers – rumor is they do not work as I have sent so many emails and not one signup – one thing that people do it blame the site – have you ever thought about changing what you are sending out, change your headline and test, test, test.

Brand new sites – often I’m asked why jump into a new site when you don’t know the owner or if the site is going to stick around and have always felt that you just need to keep you site out there so that you can prove to people that YOU or your site that you promote is one of them that are – be seen everywhere you can – JMO

Downline Builders – why spend the time to fill your referral id’s in – no one ever looks at them anyway – well I have one example that proves they they do

Site is too Big and has too many members – forgot this one and came back to add as this is also important one as lot of people tell me this site don’t work also

Now the other thing that I want you to pay attention to is how many hits it takes sometimes and for the people that tell you try a site – buy 1000 credits and if no signups move on – well think the stats tell all.
So now I hope that you can see how important it is to track, track, track and then you don’t have listen to the rumor is they do not work. This is the only way that you will know for sure. Now keep in mind what works for one person may not work for another that is why you have to test, track, test, track.
Hello Nancy,
You are such an inspiration. You definitely put your money where your mouth is.
I reallt do hope ZC becomes one of the top TEs in terms of number of members. Because, as far as I’m concerned, it’s already one of the top ones if we only take the owner into account. 🙂
Thanks for sharing this info, it deserves to be bookmarked.

Thanks and I try – and most things I have learned the hard way – even listening to rumors
Impressive on all counts, except for clixsense in my honest opinion. But, even clixsense wasn’t a complete waste, as you did get new members, great post. Probably most impressive to me was the traffic leads to income stat. Over 20%!
Thanks and like I said – everyone can track and get different results – the thing to keep in mind is not to jump and blame the site – take a look at what you are using in your advertising also
Agreed! That’s very important as different sites cater to different niches. 🙂 It would be a very bland Internet if it didn’t. 😉
Boy i know this is a report of thing not working But sure does look like you are anyone not a member of zaney join this link http://zaneyclicks.com/?rid=64336
you see how hard the admin works why not let her work to advertise your listings
Thanks Joe and I do work hard for my members – but that is because I love Zaney Clicks and all the members – the feel like family and I want to see everyone succeed
Hi Nancy,
I read your blog and it’s very interesting and informative. I’m going to try some of the different approaches you have mentioned.
Way to go gal! Keep them coming, I’m learning a lot and really appreciate all the time you put into this for us.
Zaney is definitely is one of the very best!!
Thanks Patty – I know some still like to believe the rumors but for me this is the facts and just wanted to share.
Hello Nancy,
Thanks for the great info, like most advertising its never guarranteed but you have to promote in as many places as possible and as many different ad types as possible, eg banners, text etc to improve your odds, if you do it for free then it is very long and time consuming proccess, Buy even paid advertising aint guarranteed. So as long as you do this consistantly every day, week etc you should get results.
Thanks Chris and I agree – what works for one does not work for another – the key is to keep trying and not give up – I just wanted people to see that you can’t always blame the source sometimes you have to look at your ad and what you are presenting to people and keep tweaking it, try different headlines, different colors on your splash – just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean that everyone is going to. Example – I’m a pastel person and like the soft colors BUT there are some that do not – the brighter the better – so don’t be afraid to test these new things.
