The guy that runs this website is a fucking moron... Here's the email he sent me:

Can you explain why I can only see around 120 hits for almost a year for the following domains
LannyBarbyBlog.com
Judy-Star.com
I have removed all links to you program but would like to report you program on my AffiliateCheaters.com so I would like to hear why there have never been
any signups

So I replied:

How about you just put ccbill.com on your affiliatecheaters.com bullshit site? We use ONLY CCBill for our affiliate program and we don't even have a secondary processor.
First thing is that you don't even provide your correct affiliate ID. Second is that you have never sent even one hit from either of the 2 domains that you mention as far as I can tell from checking referring urls in CCBill's admin.
Checking further with your CORRECT affiliate ID of xxxxxxx you have sent 61 clicks in all of 2007. Since 10/01/2006 you have sent a big 326 hits. Which sites you sent from I don't know, but none had a referrer that could be tracked.
So to answer your question: You haven't had any signups because you have shiity, almost non-existent traffic, OR because you were probably using the wrong affiliate code. Since we do not have any affiliate with CCBill ID 1498455 any clicks from that particular ID would not be tracked and any signups from that affiliate ID would not be credited.
I checked our server stats for the entire month of october 2007 and you sent 22 hits from lannybarbyblog.com to lannybarby.com from the following 6 urls..
http://www.lannybarbyblog.com http://www.lannybarbyblog.com/biography/index.html http://www.lannybarbyblog.com/free_clips/index.html http://www.lannybarbyblog.com/2007/05/lanny_barby.html http://www.lannybarbyblog.com/2007/0...barby-fre.html http://www.lannybarbyblog.com/lanny_barby/index.html
Since you didn't get any clicks tracked by CCBill you had the wrong affiliate ID. And of course you have conveniently removed the links from the 2 domains so that can't be checked.
I have attached several screenshots so if you try and call us cheaters please make sure that you use them on your shitty website.
I don't like threats or blackmail attempts. Especially when you can't even be bothered to use the correct affiliate ID. If you have any further complaints you can call up CCBill and explain to them why you think they are cheaters.
Have a nice day.

This Frank Vang guy has severe delusions of grandeur so he replied:

1498455 is the code you send for us in you affiliate newsletter. we trust our affiliate so much we should not double check if this is the right code. So congrat on lots of free traffic.

Wow. That impressed me so much that I replied:
Quote:
The code is inserted by ccbill's email application automatically. We have never had an affiliate with that number. I even checked suspended affiliate accounts. Before ccbill added the thing to insert affiliate ID's we just sent with that field empty or saying "your_id_here". And every email had the warning to make sure you insert your own codes. So I find it very unlikely you got that ID # from one of our emails. I wouldn't call 22 raw hits in a month a lot of traffic either, but if you want to call it that go ahead.
The bottom line is that you screwed up your links, not us. If you weren't sure of the linking codes all you ever had to do was ask. And if you didn't know your own affiliate ID, how did you ever check your stats to find out that you hadn't had any sales? If you logged into ccbill with your main ID it shows the ID # for every affiliate program that you have under that ID and it gives you the linking codes. That sounds pretty suspicious to me.
Why don't you take responsibilty for your own mistakes instead of calling other people cheaters?

Yep 22 raw visits from his domain in a month is really a shitload of free traffic. Of course he added us to his shitty website anyway, even though he's a fucking moron that can't even get it together enough to put the right affiliate codes in his links. Seems like he has shitty almost non-existent traffic AND he used the wrong affiliate ID #.
