CCBILL's Tuesday Scrub
 

Is anyone else experiencing this? Every Tuesday I come into the office, check yesterday's stats....numbers look great. I see what we are doing today so far....horrible. It has been like this the past 6 Tuesdays. Our overall conversion rate is 1 in 474, but today we are at 1 in 2400. Does anyone else see patterns like this with ccbill?

totally, but i say its more than a scrub

Since they make a % off your transactions, it's not really in their interest to turn up a scrubbing knob on any day of the week, unless they are doing so to keep their overall chargeback percantage down.

i noticed tuesday and wednesday being shittier than other days too, not only with ccbill.

People have been noticing and pointing shit like this out for years, but nothing changes.

ya this is tues and wed every week lately
i doubt its ccbill
but just overall these days seem to be lower

Sometimes I have considered that they might set the scrub high on the small to medium programs (and affiliates) in order to allow the big sponsors to continue to have a more scrub free experience for new signups (and xsells). The small sponsors then would only have transactions go through when the probability of a CB is extremely low (lower than average on CCBill). Hundreds of thousands of small sites and affiliates at the high scrub rate would counteract a few hundred big programs at the low scrub rate.

I don't know if this is what's going on and I hope it isn't. But given the type of shit that happens in this business and the "Bro Club" I wouldn't rule it out. It might also explain why the large programs never seem to see any swings while the smaller ones see madly wild fluctuations beyond what you'd expect with the law of averages. You can't tell me that the guys who used to do hidden pre-checked Xsells didn't have high CB ratios. There's no way.

Then again it may be nothing like this. I see some pretty crazy swings with Verotel too.
