Aaaarrrgggghhhh!!!

I have twice attempted to verify on kudos for a 3ds for my son and the first time I had 2 refs too many but lost 3 and today I had the correct amount but lost one.

I have gone over 1000 reds without a pending or green and my last one was 4th June so it looks like my plans are out of the window.

I also lost my final pending on HDTV.FJ so can't verify on there either.

Really beginning to give up with this freebie business. Have no idea why my ratios went from 3-4 greens a week to absolutely nothing overnight.

Umm... But why leave the freebie scene? You're not really putting any money into it. If there's some problems with the amount of time available, then it's understood. Better wait for one more time!

ndev2k · 26-07-11, 07:23 AM

Not putting any money into it?

I spend over £250 a year for my hosting alone as well as outsourcing the link building and other things.

**MJ10** · 26-07-11, 07:37 AM

Yea please don't leave the freebie scene... Love your hosting

That's really bad luck mate... I have to say I'm almost dreading cashing out as I know I'm going to lose plenty of greens... its really crap when you lose so many as reds anyway, but this just hits you extra hard!

I got my highest reds/day yesterday... 41 reds! But I'm still not seeing a great ratio - vary between 1:55-1:59 and I see pendings come in random batches... had 2 the other day but can easily see none in a week (about 150 reds)

Hitting 1,000 reds and no greens is just shocking though. I think you need to seriously consider your site and see if there's anything you can do to get better conversions. I'm getting all my reds from quickfreeiphone.com (and not freenewiphone.co.uk which is filled with useful information!)... if you looks at quickfreeiphone.com, obviously it could be better, but somehow it brings in the money! I added the last paragraph and it has improved conversions a little, as well as the UK/US/World buttons.

Guess you just gotta have a play and see what works.

Good luck!

Oh... Sorry... I thought all people are like me!

I haven't put much money into anything yet.... Sorry, once again.

ndev2k · 26-07-11, 08:19 AM

@MJ10 - You don't fancy donating a green do ya??

Only kidding. Will take a look at your site and see what jumps out. Will have a play around once I get my laptop fixed.

sgll · 26-07-11, 09:34 AM

im in same boat. not had a green for ages and ages. things are going downhill, conversions are the worst yet.. im even getting better conversions on xpango affiliate scheme compared to fj and kudos.. work that out. i will be leaving it too if things dont pick up in the next few mths. offers and conversions etc.

sameer004 · 26-07-11, 03:01 PM

25% of my greens were gone in verificatin. 1 of them kept on hold and the other been revoked.. i am not really worried about the converstion red vs green. (out of 8 green only 6 made it through the verification)

i know this can be annoying loosing confirmed green in verification...

jrjokerz · 29-07-11, 12:22 PM

I'm getting the sign ups now but no conversions at all. I have sent e-mails, Is there anything else that can be done?

**MJ10** · 29-07-11, 12:38 PM

Nope... just try and ignor them! I email now and then but it never works, even had some help setting up the latest email and it looked really good and I was offering Amazon Voucher incentives etc... nothing!

On the reds side of things... these are my latest 10 reds...

Spoiler

No idea why it was like that, I've not done anything special. Just must have been a surge on my keyword!

New greens are taking a while though

they all joined may 16th

**ryan1087** · 29-07-11, 12:54 PM

Something odd there if they all have a ref number 1 after the other, normally they alter between each one, if you catch my drift.

well if you refer like 10 people at the same time and they sign up at the same time then they will be one after another ( I got about 350 referrals all one or two after the other)

So you're the one stealing my gadgets.k refs then

I usually get them pretty close together because Gadgets.K isn't actually that well used for some reason. I do well enough on it!

)
