CCbill Affiliates - GoFuckYourself.com

My CCbill affiliate sales have gone down about 30-40% in the last 2-3 weeks. The only thing I am doing differently is working harder once I started to see the drop. I called them and they swear up and down that nothing has changed on their side. My concern is that I tracked my traffic patterns and they have not changed.
Anyone having a similar problem?

I don't think it is the scrub-- not getting a lot of declines on the system, as a webmaster.

You sure the program you are promoting isn't on the decline. they get burnt out quickly.

Anyhow those arent numbers that can totally prove there is a problem. add a 0 after them and then I would admit something serious is up. when dealing with small sale numbers you have to factor in luck.

Good point, working on getting that extra zero added. Hey it's an extra $400 bucks a month. Can't leave my day job just yet.
Thanks

Appriciate the help.

Oh yeah and DIVERSIFY. You gotta promote several sponsors ... some work for your traffic some dont. Never put all your eggs in one basket. Thats a very common newbie mistake.

Yes. I am pushing 1 CCBill sponsor with only highly targetted PPC google traffic. Last 12 days have gone to shit. The other sponsor that is on the same page is kicking ass as usual and it's not the niche that I targetted. Also, it's at the bottom of the page well below the main ad.

I just don't get it but everyone keeps saying all is well.

Blah

hmmm Ive only just moved from Globill to CCbill so hope all is ok

DeadFidel · 08-07-2003, 05:18 AM

Update. CCbill tech/acc advised me that I needed to wait the maximum of 12 hours before any sales would be reflected in my admin section. Yesterday, 24 hours ago, I had 3 friends click and purchase from ONE of my links that used to work fine. It was one of CCbill's major players (Hegre-Archives). Not one of the three were reflected.
After a call, with sub#'s and a little additude, the numbers showed up.
Makes one think.

DeadFidel, send me the details and i can look at it. One question though, how long did you wait between the affiliate sale and calling us?
