Has anyone noticed a massive drop in conversions?

Im not going to name names yet as we are just finishing up a test signup program and will have to notify the sponsors, but I will guarantee you that there are some that are not showing affiliates every sale they are making - and Ill be the exception and say that there are also some Nats sponsors doing it - although I realize they cant skim - they can turn off sales for a particular affiliate so no sponsor in this group will be getting sales here in a few more weeks.

I'd be very interested in the results of your tests Linkster...I've noticed a couple sponsors in particular had conversions drop to damn near nothing when they were extremely stable and consistent for a long time.

My overall conversions are stable, but the significant change between April and May was the result of a couple large programs.

If there comes a time when you're willing to privately release results please put me on the list

My conversions have gone to crap, but mostly site that use CCBill. Like 1:2500.

I only buy the summer slowdown thing to a degree...I've been doing this quite awhile and this month, without a doubt, is the absolute worst month I've ever had in many years.

Maybe that cnn article that was mentioned earlier in this thread had at least something to do with it...people got scared into not pulling the card out for fear of their info being stolen.

2257 is most likely affecting things in one way or the other. I bet at least a few sponsors probably assume they will be gone in two months after the new laws go into effect, so why not shave the fuck out of everyone's sales right now....then 2 months down the road, cash in when the injunction has expired and just close the program.

Or maybe the processors are scrubbing harder.

Who knows |shocking|
