ROI - what are you looking for?

[Dr. Badhead]

Obviously you'd like to have as big an ROI as possible. But what range are you looking for? If you have an ROI of $2 in 10+1's is that good? At what point do you begin to look to move up to the next level, or is ROI not a good statistic to consider when making that decision?

Seriously, read the FAQ. It's right at the top of the forum in BIG BOLD LETTERS.

roi. Is that any good?

[Dr. Badhead]

with respect, I have read the FAQ. Perhaps my question doesn't belong, but if so, I'm not sure why. I understand what ROI is - I'm not looking for advice as to whether or not I should move from any level to another - I'm just trying to get a better idea of how to interpret ROI. People mention it a lot. How important is it? What is a "good" number, etc... By all means, pull the post down if this is an inappropriate question.

>0 is good, $2 is not a measurement of ROI, it's only important if you like money, and the question that you think eluded you in the FAQ is indeed answered in the faq, that being "what are good rois?"

its all that matters

30% is very good at the lower levels...if you are under 10% you need to get better (or are just running bad)

ROI means nothing until you have a MASSIVE sample

[i]Let's all make a pact where we don't dignify ignorant posts by replying to them.

Just say 'read the faq' and move on.

If someone has already said 'read the faq,' don't respond, and just move on.

Way too many ignorant threads get tens of responses for any ignoramus to stop and think 'hrm, maybe I shouldn't be so ignorant!'

Because frankly, these lame, over-done, answered-in-the-faq threads get much more attention than serious ones.[i]

How about if we read the faq and found the confedence tables but do not understand what they mean?

How to calculate ROI and what it means is in the FAQ.

There is a thread, that the FAQ links to, that discusses the opinion of many good posters here, on what is a good ROI.

I'm not saying it's a simple concept for everyone, but I don't think anyone could add anything here that explains it any more clearly than the FAQ already does.

If there's a specific question that isn't in the FAQ, then asking it wouldn't get the reply "Read the FAQ" because reading the FAQ wouldn't answer the question.

In general people here help other people a lot (Sometimes the first people help each other, and the second people help each other, but ignore that for now). The FAQ is designed to save the first set of people as much time as possible so they can do a lot of helping the second set of people.

When you don't use the FAQ, you don't cost the first set of people any time, because they probably have a certain amount of time here each day. You are costing the other people in the second set of people some replies.
