Goldencan Performance

I had several pages recently pop back into Google after a long sabbatical, I didn’t think they would remain for very long, so I added some Goldencan stores and forgot about them. Well, they have remained in for a month or so now, so, one would think I would’ve gotten some sales by now, they are all using the same merchant, all the search terms are similar, cheap this, discount that, etc. Well, got a big goose egg so far, and I believe part of the problem is Goldencan is so slow, every time I hit those pages it takes forever to come up, today, it took over a minute for some pages. Who waits a minute before anything starts showing on the screen? Nobody. The only other things on those pages are some Valueclick banners and some adsense code, same code I am using on the rest of my site, and there are no other slowdowns that I have seen. So, Goodbye Goldencan, I like the promise of never having to update those pages, but what good is it if it takes forever to come up, no one is going to hang around long enough to see what shows up, let alone click on anything. I’d be better off to hand code the pages and let them sit, even if the ads get old and land on products that are out of stock, at least they can click on something.

Anyone else noticed any problems with Goldencan, it can’t just be me?
