Verotel VS CCBill A-B Test
Hello!
I'm Mike from The Art of Blowjob, the lucky guy who gets all of those blowjobs. I know, I know! I just wanted to share with you that we've been doing a lot of A-B testing and taking a good hard look at our stats and we've come up with a pretty great system for having great conversions. Hard work pays off! We're finishing up our CCBill affiliate area, but we've also been getting really incredible sales with Verotel, so we'd love for you to give it a try. You can send me an e-mail if you'd like to see for yourself. I'd love to help you make money while we share our beautiful porn. The Art of Blowjob is a great seller and all our little tweaks have only gone to show that! ![]()

Hey Mike Flirt, great idea, and thanks for sharing your results...
just curious to know if I am reading the stats correctly...your stats are telling me that you made 2 1/2 the conversions with verotel then you did with other biller? Or in other words if you make $1500.00 with 600 visitors with one biller....that you could very well make $3000.00 with another biller same traffic?? Is there a problem with my reasoning or assesment here? Thanks |

Did you send the same amount of traffic to both billers?
If so, I am blown away that Verotel outperformed CCbill by that much. That would speak volumes of the current state of CCbill if it's true. |

If CCBill is so terrible, why is it that many of the world's biggest sites use them exclusively? If I know anything about rich people is that they usually take care of their nickels, so why would Met Art, FTV Girls, X-Art, etc use CCBill as their ONLY biller, if there was even a chance of them losing mountains of money to do so?

Again I have no clue maybe it's like that for our sites only, I was curious if any other webmaster have made the same test.

Hey Beaner if you think about it....it really does not have to be highly targeted traffic...especially when we have a top affiliate tube site converting for us at 1/37...again thats tube traffic

Maybe someone has to cover the chargebacks generated by uploaded.to. Might as well be the losers who own paysites or are affiliates. Your 15% goes to good use - to help put you out of business.

One problem - there's not yet enough data. It's fourteen sales. If one biller did one sale and the other did two at a specific moment in time, does that mean one converts twice as much as the other? No, that just means you looked at a point in time when the first biller had just made it's second sale. I just flipped a coin six times. I got five tails and one head. That means nothing. If I flip the coin two hundred times, THEN the results will show that head and tail come up about equally. Fourteen sales doesn't tell you anything.

The margin of error on 14 samples is 4, meaning it's likely that in the next 14, CCBill will get eight and Verotel six. Wait until there are 100-300 sales before drawing any conclusions.

Tip: put Verotel in the cascade and let someone other than Verotel handle the affiliate side of things because unless Verotel actually starts providing the info they are required to provide by law, I'm not touching any Verotel based program with a 10foot pole. For those in the EU it's a VAT disaster waiting to happen.

Nice info. I never understood why people won't promote a program ran on Verotel, they always converted just fine for me and never missed a payment over at least 6-7 years.

exactly. But there is another problem. I have excel file with all my sponsors. There are many verotel sites but almost all of them don't have promo content or it is years old.

- not promote Verotel based programs. - promote Verotel based programs and pay an extra XX% of your earnings in VAT while you don't have to. Just to be safe - promote Verotel and risk hefty fines for not paying VAT you didn't have to pay in the first place when you get audited. |

I've been trying Verotel at the top of my cascade for my sites with decent results, although sales overall haven't been exactly booming with any biller.
I'm using rules within NATS so that all affiliate referrals will get a CCBill join page but type-in traffic will reach a different cascade. Currently Verotel - CCBill, but I'm soon adding Epoch and SegPay to try in the cascade also.

However, I try and not read too much into this. I've tried altering the order of the cascade this week as an experiment and some days one hasn't performed any better than the other. By nature of the cascade a decline with one biller should send it to the next biller to convert the sale. However, I do also wonder if the end user who is a regular subscriber puts more trust in one biller than the other. I'll keep up my trials and maybe time will tell.

Your mileage may vary, but, as an affiliate, my experience is that Verotel does not pay and has hands-down the least good affiliate support in the business.
As raymor said, while the conversion ratio looks nice for both sides of the test so far, obviously the sample is not large enough to be statistically significant yet.

I did a split test between CCBILL and Epoch, well over 300 sales during the test. I fully expected Epoch to convert better BUT the results were literally a dead heat.
That test was enough for me, it put to rest for me the doubts I had about using CCBILL as primary over Epoch.

Most successful programs now use a mix of their own merchant accounts as primary and third party processors as secondary or visa versa.
The more control you have over the scrubbing, payment forms and rebilling methods, the higher the conversions. Mitch

Whoa there, blast from the past. We're still with Verotel after several tests, as it always came out significantly on top.

I’m owner of few free tube sites with daily traffic of 200k unique visits. I want to use that traffic and start my first adult pay site. I did lot on my pay site and now is time to choose payment processor. As this is something new for me I need a little help. I have noticed that many of big sites such as Mofos, Brazzers, …….use 2 and 3 payment processors (Epoch, CCbil, Verotel). Why they do that? I suppose that they got some advantages? What kind advantages? Should I use just one processor or I need to have 2 or more processors.

is the traffic coming from 2 different sources or do you have a way to alternate each join hit so you are comparing apples to apples and not to oranges.

We stopped with CCBill a while back because we're happy with Verotel. And it was an A/B test, so it was coming from the same source.

It's unanimous we did the test and are seeing much better results with verotel processing our membership sales.
Also for the record we removed ccbill as biller for some of our other goods and services and without adding any new traffic or advertising, we saw sales quadruple simply by removing ccbill as biller. No reason to fabricate this statement and nothing to gain by posting the truth. |

You don't actually see this many times because when having their own merchant account and using a gateway such as ours the merchant has the option ( and most often does) host their own secure payment form so the customer never has to leave their site and complete customization is possible this way as well. Any other questions? Thank you, Mitch Farber

In fact for one other area of our operations we removed ccbill entirely and the results are spellbinding.... Sales have shot into the stratosphere with no more 0 sales days or 3-4 day sales holes either and all we did was remove ccbill as the biller no extra traffic, no advertising...there I said it... Make of the info what you wish not trying to throw anyone under the bus...just stating the facts as they relate to us. |
