BFG stystem in more of referral than affiliate. The only thing that comes to my mind that can help you improve your site in this case is smart use of google website optimizer and split testing. You can check which combination of games on the front page generates most downloads and use that one. I don’t have experience with BFG system. BFG stystem in more of referral than affiliate.

You don't have to delete the game from your catalogue, just remove it from the front page. @Denis:

If your site has ability to generate only certain amout of downloads and you don't care what they download as long as they buy, then forcing people to download games with better conversion is smart.

The article says that by dropping the below-average converting games, the average conversion rate subsequently rises. That's not a surprise -- that is the definition of the average. The fact that this was even mentioned, leads me to think that maybe things haven't been thought through very well. The only metric that makes sense is total number of sales per day. I would go to the site to see if he quantifies this, but I can't find a link to the original posting. Wait … what?

At the end of it all, marketing and sales is all a numbers game (not that I'm any marketing expert or anything) and the higher amount of visitors you can get to your site, the potentially higher chance of getting a sale. Of course you can do a bit of everything and disable all low performing games, and displaying all the high selling games, which all helps out at the very end. Yeah thats what I meant though.
