Another CHARGEBACK... how often? [RANT] - GoFuckYourself.com

danevans · 05-24-2010, 05:35 PM

Got another chargeback at a sponsor I won't name now, so I wonder how often you normally see chargebacks/deductions and whether this is shady..
Here's the plot: I have a network of blogs on my domains' subdomains, maybe 50-60 blogs, all handwritten, but haven't been updated now for around a year (I got sidetracked and those sites are on slowly going to die). They get very low traffic (80% google, a good part is probably image search which I know is shit so I redirected that, and 20% from my other blogs and blog directories).

To this particular sponsor, they've been sending (declining curve) from 130 to 75-80 uniques per day (yes, low, said so), over the last two years. So far, after 40550 uniques and 358 join attempts (I guess personal information submits, then declined & redirected), I got 5 signups, and 3 of those charged back. This is in 2-3-4 month gaps, no consecutive sales within 1 day etc.
Some of their paysites are of the $35-45 per FREE signup sort..

Does this sound normal at all?

Based on join attempts, I'd think you should have at minimum 35 sales based on those numbers ... not just 5 with 3 charge backs on blogs.

sounds just like a normal shady sponsor. Their program must suck...

Quickly scroll your mouse wheel and Move Along...

It's not normal but your numbers are so low you are not going to get any meaningful averages.

You need a larger sample size.

With your lack of traffic, it's really hard to say. If you had solid traffic, it'd be much easier to make a statement, but as it is, 3/5 charging back could be a shitty sponsor, or a shitty surfer pool.
