I noticed that post too. And that certainly could be part of the problem.
But those cc declines can't all be down to blacklisted cards. Despite the economy, new cards are still being issued and to new consumers.
There has to be something more than this that is hitting cc sales for porn so badly compared to mainstream, which often has just as shady cross sells.
My ratios this month on some good sponsors who usually convert on great ratios are as high as 1.4000 at the join page.
My sales tactics haven't changed. My carefully sculpted traffic continues to grow. But my sales are lower than they have been for months.
