CCBill Ratios: WTF?
Lately there have been a few threads about CCBill and their ratios. Now I'm not the type to "panic" and go ranting for no reason. I figure there are a myriad of reasons why sales can be slow, or down, and why conversion ratios may be a bit skewed. Here are a few of the most popular reasons:
Summer slowdown
free porn
recession
Wall Street/banks
It's the weekend
Poor content
Poor site management
Poor marketing skills
Lousy traffic
etc etc etc
But seriously CCBill, WTF? Last night I switch the cascade back to CCBill from Epoch. GIANT mistake! Get up this afternoon and see......2 sales with 12,500+ uniques to my best converting site. 0:10,000+ for my 2nd-best converting site. 0:8000+ for my third-best converting site. Network-wide: 70,000 uniques - 2 sales.
COME ON CCBILL THIS IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS ALREADY. If I had left the Cascade with Epoch I could've expected to see 20+ sales upon awaking. TWO??????????????????????
My sites - my successful ones - are like cash registers. Ka-ching Ka-ching Ka-ching. Like clockwork. It's how I've managed to build up my little porn empire. So when everything STOPS (on a dime) like this there is an explanation - and it concerns either CCBill or their merchant banks, or both.
I really want this nonsense STOPPED and for CCBill to stop fucking with account, putting the choke on/off, manipulating put-throughs, increasing the scrub for one sub-account while decreasing it for another so I end up always hitting the same 'average', regardless of site. Re-work your algorithm, cleanse my account, just STOP IT.
But no matter how much I threaten to take hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue away from them and either give it to another biller or go merchant account myself, CCBill doesn't seem to care. Thus, this thread.
I love the respectability and reliability of CCBill, which is why I use them and have tried for months now to correct these rollercoaster sales patterns, but numbers do not lie. I do this full-time, 24/7 (it seems) so there's absolutely NO WAY for anyone - ANYONE - to "slip something by me" when it comes to numbers, stats, sales and conversions. It's my obsession. Isn't it yours, adult webmaster?
Enough already.
