Sign up percentage for sports affiliate sites

[geotaz]

I know this is almost an impossible question to answer, but I am running some predictions for my website. Is it fair to say that a 0.1% sign up rate compared to the site views is a good ball park figure, or is it still too high, or is it just impossible to tell until the site itself actually gets up and running?

I am not expecting many sign ups if any for the first 6-9 months, but just curious as to know the figures I should be looking to achieve once the site is consistently active

Thanks

Depends, what is your Market? US or Other? is it one sport or all? and do you mean 1% on views or clicks? for clicks it can range from 1 in 15 to 1 in 50-80 on average for the popular sports, but the most important thing I have found on prediction sites is you need a good amount of traffic.. around 2-4000 per day and you can make a nice income just through sheer numbers and law of averages

Yes that is almost impossible to answer!

My market would mainly be targeting the European market (to begin with), again to start off with it will only be football and then the potential to expand into other areas much later down the line.

I was basing my 0.1% figure on views, so for example on average every 1000 views my prediction would be 1 person signing up through my affiliate.

I'm not sure as its quite hard to convert people who are coming to your site for betting tips

Ok 0.1% I was thinking 1%... yes totally achievable and much more.. 0.5% is a good number if you have laid your site out well and have built up a decent readership, and you will know you have when visitors email you commenting on the site or to notify you of spelling errors
