Has there been processing problems the last couple of days? - GoFuckYourself.com

Kingfish · 09-12-2007, 01:09 PM

I have been doing this since my join date here at GFY. Historically over those years my numbers are 1 in 600 on raw hits spread over 20 or more sponsors. Yesterday sales took a nose dive for me. My ratio was over 1 in 3500. I thought oh well one bad day in 5 years not bad, but today I am seeing the same thing. The only other time I recall seeing similar numbers was when paycom had some problems a few years back. For whatever reason processing just wasn?t working right for 2-3 days. I have taken a look at my few joins today and notice they are all CC Bill, the sponsors own merchant account or some form of check billing. I am seeing no paycom joins whatsoever. Everything on my end is the same: I am sending to the same landing pages (updated regularly), the same number of clicks are going to the sponsors and so on. Oh and noticed one my bigger sponsors has switched out their normal paycom join page with CC Bill?s join page. Again the last time they did that was when paycom had some problems for a couple of days.

I just posted this to see if anyone else is seeing similar things. I am not bashing on paycom. I am just wondering if I need to pull traffic for a few days and cut my losses.

A sponsor that relies heavily on paycom for its processing hasn't generated a sale for me in two days. Normally I'd be seeing two to four a day from them at current traffic levels.

Kingfish - and anyone else who thinks their numbers might be off....

Please drop me an email with your affiliate ID or company/Master code so that we can investigate this.

Epoch's overall numbers do not reflect any problems. I'd like to take a look at your specific traffic and declines and see if we can isolate anything.

Crap here for a couple of days....

I did send Rand some of my affiliate codes/links earlier. I haven?t heard from him yet, but I sent the information to him after the business day ended so I don?t expect to hear from him until tomorrow. I also went back and looked at the last few months with my biggest sponsor, and I have had only 1 day since July 1st that I have not had at least one sale with this sponsor. Suddenly 3 days in a row goose eggs. I suppose it is possible it is a really slow period, but it seems unlikely it would slow down that drastically basically over night.
