The alledged CCbill scrub problem is something I strongly believed in up untill about 18 months ago. For my first 18 months in the biz I could not convert a single ccbill sale no matter how much traffic I sent to quite a few sponsors.
Well I have since discovered there seems to be a problem .
But I do not think it is so much CCBILL but how Sponsors add in and track the affiliate codes in FHG's and Free Sites.
I stopped using all hosted galleries and started using my own hosted stuff and used direct sponsor links with my codes in them.
The result was stunning to say the least.
As for the last week my sales have improved overall conversion ratio $0.04 per click 1:224.4
If I break this down to sponsor ratios for the week .
Without mentioning names
Sponsor 1 $0.05 per click 1:123.2
Sponsor 2 $0.05 per click 1:398.0
Sponsor 3 $0.55 per click 1:18.0
Sponsor 3 converted 1:1 yesterday and was sitting on $9.97 for that click
And the rest are 1:200-1:600 overall
Scrubbing may be a problem, but I think affiliate code tracking and click tracking is a far greater problem.
When Joining any ccbill Sponsor these days I always ride the tours to the join page then search for my affiliate code in the source.
In every case the sponsors links that are supplied by ccbill track and many times the hosted ones do not carry your affiliate code and as a result you do not get paid
I'm not calling the majority of sponsors or CCBILL cheats here just pointing out that when you take a close look at what you are linking too your chances of making any $$$ are made even slimmer by affiliate code problems.
