There was a thread last week about an ARS webmaster discussing his low conversions and why he thinks ARS was "shaving." I didn't think much of this discussion although I am also an ARS webmaster and experience the same wild fluctuations in conversions on a week to week basis. One thing I DID notice was after the webmaster kept accusing ARS of shaving, my conversion, and apparently the complaining webmasters' as well [based on a later post], went up dramatically. Then after the rucus died down, so did the conversion ratio.

Is this a coincidence?

I've always applauded ARS on the boards since they're one of the few programs that let webmasters keep some of their exit traffic plus give them rewards points and other goodies. I just hope the incident I described above was a coincidence.

Another explanation is that ibill needs paysite/program operators to constantly remind it to not be too overly hard on the scrub. If this is the case, maybe ARS and the other big programs that use iBill need to hire a person whose job is to monitor iBill?

What do you guys think? Anyone have any ideas re sponsors that are very steady in their conversion ratios?
