If you make 21 sales in a week but you say you have a potential of making 15k-20k a month... that`s a huge difference... and you think that it`s CC bill that is holding back the "other" sales up to 15k-20k?

I don`t believe 3rd party-processors are even able to hold back sales from your eyes to see... Every time a sales go through a new user is added to my database. If my processor would sell and not letting me know to keep the sale for himself... then I would see an added user to my database which can`t be found in the processors`stats. Every added user to the database can be checked in your processor`s stats. If ccbill would sell without letting you know... you must have a lot of users in your database that can`t be found in ccbill-stats... That doesn`t sound realistic.

The first half of this month was the best first half month ever. The last few days it was slowing down... so yesterday after reading all the "declined business" talk and possible "3rd party fraud" i simply took my card out and made a purchase at my own site... it was processed normally...

Everything everywhere is always going up and down... live is up and down... even if you want to fuck a girl you must go up and down... it`s nature...

You can`t compare McDonalds or Dunkin Donut customers with pornsurfers. Someone that steps into McD or DD are stepping in because they are hungry and want to and going to eat... they know allready before they are walking in that they are going to eat otherwise they wouldn`t be stepping in. McD or DD`s sales ratios must be close to 100%
Pornsurfers to your website come and go in a one button-click... Most pornsurfer of course are horny but I also think that most pornsurfers do not have a defined plan when they go online.

Getting more affiliates and more traffic, even when it doubles, doesn`t mean your sales will... I have some affiliates and can say that the quality of traffic is very diverse. Some send a lot of traffic and get hardly any sales... some send less but have very good ratios!
Is there good and bad traffic? I don`t think so but traffic CAN be mis-targetted... Sending gay-traffic to masturbating female migets will not convert.

One day you can have 100 form hits and only 3 sales... the other day you can have 4 form hits and 4 sales... I don`t see why that`s strange really... And if average rates are 50% then there could be some that do 10% and some that do 90%
What I do noticed with sites that use CCBill is that often you can`t find a price of the membership of a site... so you have to hit the CCBill join form to find out what`s the price... So maybe also a lot of surfers a hitting the form just to see the price...

If anyone has proof of anything i would be very interested in seeing it... on the other hand... I just don`t see how 3rd party processors could fuck you up while you are having full control over your stats and databases.
