Lady Sonia - bad ratio

Have you contacted them? Try it. It's amazing at how quickly your ratios will change once you let them know you are aware of it and considering sending your traffic elsewhere.

The CCBill Scrub going nuts again, happened last November for me with sponsors across the board.

And the same thing has happened for the last 2 weeks for me too - a 1:300 clockwork sponsor with ZERO sales no matter how much traffic thrown at it...

Either that or it's a post Xmas credit card thing...

I don't think it's that. I think it's most likely factors beyond their control (current 3rd party billing scrub).

Is that a new niche?

Do they sell sofas too?

It's SGS or john FVC, their traffic guy.

I'd be just as concerned with that 10% rebill.

**jonnydoe** · 01-19-2011, 06:40 AM

Sonia has good stuff so I would think your rebills would be way higher. They are not a scamming affiliate program in my opinion. I think like others have said it is a CCBill thing.

That's no good...

Lady Sonia has been one of my top income sponsors for years, so these numbers are reflective of significant traffic.

Jan 11' ratio: 1:820 - 2010 ratio 1:825

I think perhaps you need to dig a little deeper than just your ratios to see why your recent traffic isn't converting. If it were something on their end we'd all be seeing similar results.

**spazlabz** · 01-19-2011, 07:26 AM

I would say contact them and work together to see if you can find out where the problem is. They have been selling good for you and then the change. I would explain things to them and give them a chance to look into it with you.

Here's what happens. Affiliate moans to webmaster about ratios. Webmaster raises it with biller. Ratios suddenly improve. Almost every site owner that I have ever spoken to has noticed this at some time or another.

Maybe it's a real thing, maybe it's not, but it no longer consumes any of our time thinking about it. We just rest that biller for a while and move on.

This is SPECIFICALLY why we moved to NATS and the ability to flip flop billers around as required.

Very much agreed. SoniaCash is solid.
