AEBN vs. The Others
It used to be AEBN vs Others ... Now there are more and more actual membership sites coming on-line that provide services that are pretty similar to AEBN although not nearly as comprehensive. I think the best one I have seen has 4,000 movies with a new one added daily. My guess is the conversion and retention rates on those are pretty good - a surfer would be likely to stay 4-5 months even possibly ?
I have been sending all my domain type in traffic (some targetted niche related stuff) to AEBN and this is what my stats look like
04/2008 3
03/2008 4
02/2008 2
05/2008 5
04/2008 323
03/2008 279
02/2008 389
A mere $.79 was generated during this same time period - needless to say I am not happy with the results. I did some playing around with AEBN a few years back and got pretty surreal results. I only sent a few hundred hits, got about 3 members and they sended up earning me about $30 a piece over the next few months - they are probably signed up under a different account now but there's still that chance they might come back and spend again. My questions, ...
Are AEBN and sites like it becoming less profitable or am I marketing it wrong ? Is there any direct competition to AEBN that stands out as being extremely strong right now ? Are the sites out there that offer X movies (unlimited viewing) as basic membership sites converting well and what are there retention rates like ?
Some actual numbers of what you are earning would be real helpful if anyone is actually willing to provide them. Thanks ...
