no they don't

sometimes i've gotten 6 sales in one hour with 1000 uniques
You think all of a sudden my site magically converted 5 times better for that one hour?
No, It's called averaging.
The smaller slice of time you analyze the more MEANINGLESS it all means.
You are experiencing the same thing everyone else is.

Dude, you keep repeating shit like this and it's fucking stupid. Anyone that gets more than a couple of sales per day knows that sales don't come in evenly. We are all aware of how averages work and we know that you can't test small amounts of data effectively.
You know what else we as thinking webmasters know? That CCBill does this shit all the fucking time. There were people bitching about this in 2002, 2003 and 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The OP is not some pissant with 300 uniques per day. He quite clearly listed his traffic stats in the first post and if you can't deduce that he has enough data at his fingertips to draw some conclusions then something is wrong with YOU.
I started promoting CCBill sponsors in 2003 and the handful of sites I chose converted like crazy. A few weeks later, NOTHING. Not almost nothing, absolutely fucking nothing. tens of thousands of uniques per day and not a fucking sale for days at a time. Guess what? Other webmasters started bitching at the same time. Guess what else? CCBill reps NEVER find a God damned problem. They run a test transaction and say 'everything is fine on this end'. Oh, and during this time my webcam signups remained exactly the same as they had been. People lose 90% to 100% of their CCBill sales but other sponsors are OK. You somehow think this is the normal? This scenario has played out hundreds (thousands?) of times right here on GFY. You can search through the history and find out for yourself.
If you have as much traffic as you pretend to have then you know that sales can not dip so dramatically for no fucking reason. Very rarely does everyone on earth just quit buying porn at the same fucking time. The guy that liked jerking it to big titties last week still likes it this fucking week as well. CCBill is the absolute worst. I stopped promoting anything related to them in 2004 and judging by the multiple threads I've seen here THIS MONTH I will not test them out again.
You talking out of your ass and muddying the conversation with bullshit doesn't help anything and it doesn't make you look smart. Quite the opposite.
