It's 150K uniques/month, not /day. Which corresponds pretty well with their Alexa rank of about 70000, 3-5K uniques/day is about right for that kinda rank.

From program owner's perspective, I believe those figures that Biggy gave you are about right. That site is definitely doing less than 5 joins/day, most likely 2-3 new joins/day on average. Like them or not, those figures are accurate.

150K/day is almost unheard of for a paysite nowadays, let alone solo girl site. If they had that amount of traffic, no way they'd be closing shop.

Btw that's 144k (which it isn't anyway) a month, not day, and that's to the domain, which by the sounds of it includes every fhg of theirs, which obviously inflates the figure by a fair bit.

144k / 30 = 4800 per day, spread over the tour plus the FHGs. So at your example of 1:1000 even if it was all to the tour itself = 4.8 joins a day.
I had always thought that the stats on compete were per day not per month. If that is wrong then yes those figures are off (and they are also way off for my own sites according to what compete thinks, extremely low). I had not considered the FHGs either until he stated that but without really knowing the percentage which goes where it's hard to say.

If they aren't even doing 4,800 to the tour then yes it makes a lot more sense.

Still it's no excuse to keep the site up, process new joins and not at the very least pay any rebills due to webmasters. Not to mention money already owed.
