thanks topbucks and visa
Hello:
During a recent routine scan of TopBucks accounts, we noticed that your account has an unusually high rate of credits/refunds. Regrettably, although we have not been able to identify anything specific in the way that you advertise or promote our sites that would contribute to a higher than normal refund/credit rate, we cannot continue to accept your traffic, in light of the high rate of refunds. You will be paid for all sales made through Sunday July 13th, but the account will be deactivated as of that day, and will not receive further credit for sales made. Please remove all links to TopBucks sites as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience, and regret that closing your account has been deemed necessary. With the major credit card companies getting more and more strict about refund, credit and chargeback thresholds, however, we have no choice but to take preventative measures in reducing our overall ratios. Please contact [email protected] with any questions or concerns that you have. Thank you and best regards, TopBucks Support That's the result when you decide to advertise milfseeker ![]() |

Of course their cookie cutter sites have nothing to do with the chargebacks, it is all your fault.

How were you promoting them?
Are your chargeback rates higher than normal for other sites you promote? Can you figure out which traffic is your "bad" traffic then filter it out?

Mate if you need somewhere to park your traffic till you get it sorted, hit me up and i'll get you up and running over the weekend.
We can do some pretty custom stuff with keyword tracking and reporting for you. Steve

How many webmaster you ASSume TB will lose due to this tread?
Closing honest webmaster accounts sucks!! That is so fucked up, Instead of shutting you down , why dont did just switch your account to partnership? Whould be less of a dramatic blow.

Everyone is losing their minds. Now honest webmasters are being terminated. We would never terminated a webmaster that has been with us for awhile for something so ridiculous. Why didn't they give you a warning or something like that these visa limits are not even in effect yet.

switching people with high chargeback rates to partner won't really solve the problem... either way the program will have a higher percentage of chargebacks, and there will be fines and finally the program will be shut down entirely.
btw, google guys are a lot smarter and more cautious than other surfers... they always unclick our clicked cross sale boxes and cancel the second they join. we do better with other search engine traffic or regular adult traffic than with google as far as those things go. |

They closed my account a few days ago too. I see their emails are generic as hell. I've been an active webmaster w/ them over the past year and they were becoming my best sponsor in terms of sales. Hell if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have gotten my new car. But oh well, if they wanna start cancelling accounts because of the new regulations and not coming up with better solutions for the issue then so be it. I just find it pretty shady not to give anyone a warning or at least recommending other alternatives. Sooner or later all webmasters in their program will be on that list of high chargebacks.

Wow, big loss for Topbucks cancelling Soul_Rebel. I've known Soul for a long time and done a lot of business with him and he is one of the most honest webmasters around. He also has a ton of kickass SE traffic. If that traffic isn't good enough for Topbucks then I don't know what is. Talk about a knee jerk reaction!

You are going to see alot more of this. Also, you are going to see processors stop taking new transactions from certain affiliates.

thanks manga, i made this thread to point a wrong business decision according to me. I didn't mind getting termed this way from TB since their program lost value from me long time ago. I see I'm not the only one on this. It's up to them to decide with who they want to do business.
Brad,what's the standard shaving of the industry? 30% ? Who knows, under certain circumstances my account would have a different cb %. ![]() It's my belief that some sponsors got scared a lot with the new visa rules and without research started taking decisions. Some of them were pulling a lot of shits and now they are puzzled. In less than a month things will be clear again and then we'll notice if poor business decisions affect your business in a serious degree or not. |

Soul_Rebel, I am sure some sponsors shave, could not tell you who as I am too busy doing biz with people I know. I try to do business with trusted companies that I know such as ARS, Max Cash, Top Bucks, Plat Bucks, etc etc.
lets just say for arguments sake that you sent top bucks 100 joins, and 10 of those chargebacked. Can you blame them for canning your account for having a 10% ratio? They have to get under 1%, as we all do.

Brad, i understand,that's why i said who knows.
I don't know,it's the 2nd time i get terminated for cb issue. Few months ago I received a similar email because it happened my 1st sale on a sponsor to be a potential chargeback. They weren't even sure if it was fraudulent transaction when they sent me the email. My account after some emails was reactivated though. Maybe i'm a high risk webmaster. |

( i bet the owner is having a vacation on all of our money ). if you promote www.flashcash.com or www.offshoreclicks.com dont be suprised to wake up one day and find all your money stolen by the owners. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Intersting how most program owners blame the webmaster for high charge backs. Maybe if the sponsor would actually have content worth 30bucks a month they'd get less charge backs.
Maybe ![]() Some sponsors have given me access to their members area(not TobBucks, never seen their members area) and 90% of them I would not join for 10bucks a month. I have some AVS sites with better content than some of the crap ive seen, lol. Everyone has the same crappy feeds, "Join now. get access to 50,000 movies" LOL gimme a fucking break!! You want less charge backs? Try having some origional content, quality content, contant that the horny surfer can actually get off on. Note to all program owners: STOP CRYING AND GO UPDATE YOUR MEMBERS AREA.

Blame it on Tupac. You are sending too much 'thug traffic' that likes to chargeback.
