My stats are really weird:
I still have the "old" ccbill codes online on some older sites, which gives me very nice ratio. But with the new codes the ratios are really bad for me.

old codes: 1:285 + 4 rebills
same past period with new codes: 0:3650 + none rebills

For a longer period, the average ratio with the "new" codes is 1:1864, which is still much worser. And the traffic is from same source/models.

Anyone have all the old ccbill codes, because I am seriously thinking of using them instead ..... or can someone explain me this??

That is indeed very odd. Most people experienced better ratios after we removed the cookie-dependency on our linking codes.

We haven't used the linking codes from ccbill for over two years, I think its more likely that the sites you have the old codes on just get more productive traffic to them. Its almost impossible to see a pattern with so few sales.

Please contact [email protected] or our affiliate manager Louisa over icq so she can see if she can help bring your ratios up, or see if there is a problem somewhere.

Well, I always had good ratios with the old codes, but it may be difference from those sites then and now...
I read someone saying the same here:

Im trying to optimize my links, and maybe you could tell which sites on lightspeed are converting best.

(the bad ratio ones for me are TS and LSS)

Reason I ask here, is to get some "neutral" input from other promoters.

Isn't there a good possibility that your sites with the old codes are now getting a fair amount of SE traffic, whereas your newer sites haven't had time to build up that quality traffic base?

Recently I was reviewing my stats with a reputable sponsor that offers both pay-per-signup and revshare. I noticed that my click-through and sales on the revshare program were about twice as good as on pay-per-signup, and something started smelling fishy.

But...I started promoting the revshare a couple of years ago, and only added the pps fairly recently. And, a lot of the revshare links are "upsells" from AVS sites. So, better traffic=better numbers. Kind of a no-brainer, but sometimes my brain takes the day off.

Most likely, though, Steve is shaving like a mo-fo. He's bad that way.

Ok, my traffic is the same, since it is the same site, and with galleries I build on my own. So no difference, only new and old galleries. But same models likely. And pps is same with new and old program.

I also experienced the same with tnacash earlier. From one day to another, no signups with teen kelly after I changed the codes. But the old ones gave me good ratios. I asked and got the explanation that kelly did not convert that good as before....but that cant happen just over few days, right?

So, cookie tracking is not the best, but better than nothing
