February 27, 2008 | Author: Rob | Filed under: Business Advice

The edge or the flow in life is always working for you or against you. Before I proceed take note of that previous statement; it’s true and the more you look at your life objectively you’ll sense which direction you’re going.

Essentially we are just living organisms and on a purely simplified biological level not that much different then a plant; we have 2 states in life; growing and wilting. Unlike a pond or swamp life does not stagnate; it’s like an ever flowing river of energy, emotions and events. You are either moving forward upstream and growing or being pushed downstream and wilting.

In every advertising campaign there comes a time when it’s time to do some pruning. You’ve tested a large array of sites and some simply aren’t producing so it’s time to cut them out of your budget.

Being a Saturday that I’m still feeling maybe 60% even though it’s been a week I figured it’s time to do something I really dislike doing. Go through statistics and find out my referral traffic stats and identify the performers and the losers in my latest Project Wonderful campaign.

Believe it or not I’ve identified some blogs that I’m paying an average of 3-5 cents a day and getting ~10 uniques a day with incredibly low bounce rates. Other ads that I’m spending 20-40 cents a day have sent me 7 visitors in the last 24 days with almost all of them coming one day with a 20% new visitors… I think the webmaster just …
