I would like to know from other ccbill affiliate (not the program owners) users if they experience the same.

Maybe it's time to get more none ccbill sponsors..

If you are getting your stats from CCBills administration area the clicks that are posted there are NOT unique, so the ratios are drastically higher when compared to sponsors counting and figuring your ratio based on unique clicks. (like most other affiliate programs)

....and even higher for other programs basing their ratios on second page uniques.....

As far as your ratio getting higher and higher, that is not a good sign but there could be many things causing that. Such as poorer and less targeted traffic sources and more aggressive marketing techniques such as the use of more "blindish" type links.

The same surfer will usually register several clicks from just one free site or gallery and they all will be counted in CCBills admin.

So a 1:2000 ratio in CCBills admin is = to a 1:1000 ratio in most other programs counting 1st page unique clicks and maybe even as low as 1:500 or less to a program computing their ratios from 2nd page uniques.

Conversions are the same for me but the fold on the check has now crept even further away from the perforation. I swear they do that just to piss me off. Fargin' bastages.

A-ha! I thought maybe it was just me. I spend 5 minutes ripping the damn extra paper off every time.

Lol, shit me too. Someone needs to start a movement to get that taken care of.
I typically sit in my car in the parking lot of the post box rental place before going to the bank, so I can prep all the checks and stamp endorse etc, but I wonder what I look like from the outside of the car, sitting and hunched over making faces trying to avoid ripping the ccbill checks lol.

But these folks are right, I would consider examining my traffic and sponsors a little bit more to help narrow down the problem, my conversions are about the same, I hardly ever see a significant change, hope you get it figured out. I personally gravitate towards sponsors using ccbill because ccbill has been good to me with my own sites and pay on time, etc and I am familiar with their support, which is good =)
