Fucking CCBill - GoFuckYourself.com

Jake · 08-27-2003, 06:02 AM

I get up this morning and my CCBill stats say I've had 0 sales overnight. Well, I know something is fucked-up because I've never had 0 sign-ups overnight!

I check the join page to my site and this is what I fucking get:

So, I call CCBill tech support and yada, yada, yada, maintenance, yada, yada, yada. Basically, they tell me that even though the stats read zero now, they are still working and I should check back at 8:00 A.M. EST and I'll see the sales from overnight. Well, it's 8:55 now and my stats still say 0. How the fuck would someone have signed-up anyway if they got the same error page I got above?

lagwagon · 08-27-2003, 06:08 AM

the guys at ccbill kick ass.

calm · 08-27-2003, 06:10 AM

Alot of people are getting a ton of those lately, mostly due to the servers bogged from virus attacks I'd suppose. Anyway, looks like your join form is up now, could it just have been a coincidence that ccbill stats were down and you got that page? Try going back and clicking again, but I can see your join page right up through the sale.

If it wasn't just a coincidence, bummer

I think that page just came up that second

It was a slow night for me too but between this fuckin virus and other stuff it doesnt mean anything.

No, I tried it for about 15 minutes this morning before I called CCBill tech support and consistently got that page. They fixed it when I called. My join page must have been down pretty much all night because like I said in my original post. I've never had 0 sign-up overnight.

B_Maverick · 08-27-2003, 06:51 AM

No signups overnight? How about no signups at all...ever? I sure wish one of you guys would pass on a little info on how this game is played. I'm 7k in debt from this business and have yet to figure out how you guys make a profit.

maybe you pass on what you have done so far? or is that asking to much

B_Maverick · 08-27-2003, 07:06 AM

Escort...not too much to ask at all...

Banner ads for AFF...3k out..$500 in...
TGP postings...barely able to get listed, much less get enough traffic to matter...$500 in content...maybe $50 back in sales.
My own failed tgp...a years worth of work...plus all the costs...maybe $250 gross sales.
Advertising on Google Adwords...actually made a small profit there with AFF and Pussy Cash until Google banned me for promoting prostitution.
Recently purchased a top gallery spot on a top tgp...advertising Topshelfpussy.com...converted 1:1300 so far.
I haven't accounted for the full 7k, but figure all the hosting and ISP costs and as you know...it adds up fast.

plexer · 08-27-2003, 07:06 AM

Uggggg....

Same here last night~!

mikeeee · 08-27-2003, 07:11 AM

Dang, well it worked for us ast night. Weird, maybe its just certain areas.

TGP's unless you know what you are doing you will lose in that game.

And AFF forget that!

I see you are the type to do what you see everyone doing, im amazed you didnt promote penis pills yet.

Listen nothing personal but you have to create something unique take a gamble and you have way more chances of winning, use the search feature on this board read up and dont fall in love with ideas or do what you see everyone else is doing, because most here make nada to talk about.

rowan · 08-27-2003, 08:37 AM

Just a tip, in IE go to tools->internet options->advanced and uncheck "Show friendly HTTP error messages." This way you will actually see the error that the server returns, rather than the mind numbing text that IE replaces it with.

You're trying too many different things that you don't seem too know much about. Narrow your focus down to one thing, TGP galleries for example, and put all of your energy into that for a couple weeks until you figure out what's going on.

Buying traffic is crazy if you don't know how to convert it. Stop buying.

So what are they telling you? I haven't been able to get a straight answer yet? I'm hoping when my account rep gets in he'll be able to take care of me. All I know it that there is NO FUCKING WAY that I've gone 12 hours without a single sale - not even remotely possible.

PerfectionGirls · 08-27-2003, 09:12 AM

They were down for maintaince last night.. They sent out memos letting people know they could be down for up to about ten minutes.

corvette · 08-27-2003, 09:42 AM

Thanks Jeff

There was planned maintenance done last night on CCBill's Systems . Below is the email sent LAST WEEK regarding this:

Dear Client,

In a continued effort to improve service to our clients, we will be performing scheduled network upgrades on Wednesday, August 27th and Thursday, August 28th. The maintenance window for both upgrades will be from 3:00am - 3:30am MST. The expected downtime during this period will be no more than 5 minutes on Wednesday and one minute on Thursday. We apologize, in advance, for any inconvenience.

Best Regards - CCBill

As always , our goal was to minimize any downtime and to do so during the lowest average sign-up time that we see throughout our systems. We believe this was achieved. We apologize for any inconvenience these interruptions cause and remind you that a similar small downtime will be experienced tonight.

All systems should currently be active and processing without issue.

If you did not receive the email sent last week, please contact client support so that we can make sure that we have your updated contact information, including email address, on file.

Yeah - I got the memo. But that still doesn't explain why it's now been more than 14 hours since I've seen a sign-up to my account.

In case you didn't know, August is the shittiest month of the year for sales. Besides which, you can't analyze numbers over a 14 hours period and make any serious judgement. Trends take much longer than that to identify.

Brad

chupacabra · 08-27-2003, 10:20 AM

charlie6763, your probably just seeing a product of the near worst period for sales and signups every year (back to school, end of summer, etc.) combined w/ the entire internet being flooded w/ worm-induced traffic and overflowing routers... since the worms have been wriggling their way around the world these last few days i have seen peering and routing problems across the web like i've rarely seen before, from multiple ISPs.

also keep in mind that w/ the media spouting constant warnings on tv about worms and virii many people are leery about pulling their creditcards out right now, and are instead rubbing one out to the newscasters themselves out of fear. ccBill is a top-notch operation, i wouldn't be concerned over one lousy half-day..

PerfectionGirls · 08-27-2003, 10:39 AM

True enough... 14 hours is not nearly enough time to judge a sales trend.

August is a bad month for sales. The particular week in Aug. is the worst. The week of the last summer holiday of the year. This week and the week of Christmas are about the worst. haha

This year we bucked the trend we have lst year and increased our sales for Aug. We even out did our July sales by 32.6%. We cant wait till the first full week on Sept. Last year our sales went up 400% from Aug. to Sept! I love those college freshman boys! First credit card from daddy, first computer that the parents cant see, first pornsite bought!. haha
