Ellaboration:
This is traffic that were sent toward amateurpages.com - site of adult.com
Before about 10/02/2003 amateurpages.com were charging $29.95 per month for subscription and they were operating $71% revshare program where the number of sales were being tracked by a third party - ibill.com
The traffic were being sent from one traffic domain name. The same domain - the same traffic valume - the same traffic quality.
When stats were being tracked by ibill.com - the third party and site's subscription was $29.95 per month the traffic converted toan average of 6 sales per day (not sure of the exact ration, see screenshots).
Then when Visa 1% came up, they changed the price of the subscription from $29.95 to $9.95, so they get lover chargeback ratio. They changed the program policy from 71% revshare to $25 per sign up. And they started to track sales themselves.
Since the subscription price dropped, the same traffic had to generate more sign ups and it probably did. However as per adult.com statistics it generates an average of 1 sign up per day.
Once they started tracking the statistics, the sales dropped 6x times(?) altho the price for subscription was heavily rediced.
Obvious shaving.
