Disappointing stats

[otolith]

I’m new to affiliate marketing and I’m a little disappointed with the stats for my programs.

For the last 5-6 weeks I’ve have displayed ads for 2 independent programs (ringtones and mobiles) on my ringtone site.
I’ve been getting approx 450-500 page impressions per day, about 350 unique visitors. My click-through rate is about 8 per day, which I thought was quite good. However for all those click-throughs (both programs have 30-day cookies), I’m yet to make a sale.

Shouldn’t I have made a sale by now, or is this normal?

It very much depends on the conversion power of the sites you link too, but I would generally expect to get around 0.2-0.4% conversion ratio from banner ads. Hence for 8 clicks a day, I would expect to generate a sale once every 30-60 days.

I doubt you will be retiring on those rates.
