[QUOTE="Twin Rose, post: 3144591, member: 2765"] I don't really have much else to go on. One of the things I was told frequently, however, was that people liked to drive sales to a site where they weren't in the "top seller" list such as RPGNow specifically to try and climb it. In the case of edge publishers, they invariably chose to link to edge with the hopes of climbing onto the "real site". In many cases, we didn't even get product releases until a week after the initial launch, with 0 support on their home pages or a secondary press release saying, "Now available at ENGS". Essentially, people hoping that ENGS would get all their sales through customers browsing product. The reality is, this is a very small percentage of customers at any PDF retailer. The EN World review database had about 100 links to products on ENGS before. Now it will have some 1500 links to the affiliate store. I can't give exact numbers, but a lot of our sales would ahve a sales source such as, "Review of Product X". That customer may not even have bought product X, instead buying 3 other products similar to it, or from the same publisher. So, in this particular instance, there should be a tremendous growth of sales across the board. I expect people will just be trying that much harder to 'climb the top list' and consolodating it. This is my theory, mind... One I'm banking on much as ENP is - I am going from 0% comission of sales of Campaign Suite and related products to 35%. That's 10 dollars or more per sale for me. Looking at the sales analasis from ENGS, more than 50% of customers came looking at one product - whether from banners, whatever, and bought something else while they were there anyway. I got the email. You should have some money waiting in your paypal. [/QUOTE]
