Since no one else has mentioned it, I will...
The CCBill affiliate interface now shows you EXACT details for every program you're promoting... including when the sponsor has chosen to turn your rebills off!!

A number of sponsors have already been caught red-handed, check GFY for the drama. Perfection Girls' Jeff is being laid open. First he accused Mutt of photoshopping things and said all of his affiliates would step up and support him... none of them did. They all logged in to check and found the same thing, all rebills stop after 1. They're NOT happy.
Now he's blaming CCBill. He posted a phone number to CCBill so people could call and verify that it was their system screwing up; it wasn't CCBill's phone number that he was posting. Someone *did* call CCBill and ask, according to what they were told there is nothing wrong with things on CCBill's end and it's showing what he's got it set at. (payout 1 rebill only)
This will be interesting.

All the sponsors are in Vegas and either haven't gotten notice that their shaving has been laid open or they're not able to rush in and change things.

I checked my CCBill sponsors, out of 15 only one of them is paying a lower percentage than what they advertise on their webmaster page and none of them are limiting rebills (except for those that tell you straight out that they will).

Way to go CCBill !!!!!!!! :gbounce:

I think it's great that the information is now available. I find it very disturbing that it hasn't been for god knows how long, though. The current list of sponsors that were ending rebills prematurely, without any varied payout structure or bonsues, is at 13.

Everyone knew this feature was going to be available to affiliates, and i think it would be silly to assume that more than a few sponsors didn't change this before the change came into effect.

So instead of kudos, i'd like to say; about bloody time.

too bad many of the BIG shavers dont use ccbill to process

it's good imho that revshare programs are being exposed as crooks. why? because for years they have waved the big bullshit white flag of "revshare programs dont shave, so sent your traffic somewhere where you're a partner".

this is not the only way they can/do/will shave you.

be wise. take your money as a lump sum. up front.

jmho, but it definitely doesnt hurt to ask yourself what the big money makers buy into... and it's unlikely that you'll see anybody with serious traffic doing revshare. why? cause they know they're gonna make more on pps :)

industry.. meet consolidation.. consolidation... meet industry :D

Hooper,
you are right on the money!
:okthumb:

I must be misunderstanding something here...

Is it that CCBill designed their affiliate software so sponsors could chose to not show rebills all the while the consumer was still being rebilled?

....and only now has opened that up for affiliates to view?

Why would they create that utility in the first place?

Are there actually rev share programs that disclose in their terms that affiliates will only get paid for "x" number of rebills?

Is there a list?

I was recently denied access to my stats by a sponsor for about 2 weeks...When my access was reinstated, I discovered that they must have accidently turned off the shave, also. For that period of time, my CTR was many times higher than it had ever been with that sponsor. I figure from the numbers that that sponsor is registering only about 5% of the traffic I send to them. :angry:

Any of these look familiar?

I know this situation first hand so

CCbill has offered the option to stop paying on rebills after which ever rebill the program owner chose, they reasons for this are debatable including having a 100% payout for the join and first rebill, shaving and so on

As for PPS vs. revshare programs - Don't believe everything or anything you hear or read here, it's not necessarily true you earn the most with money up front on a PPS program

PPS programs face many challenges including making a profit paying $30-$45 on a $2.99 trial, how to control various frauds, how to stay under chargeback % and so on

The fact is make the most $ you can, safely and quickly as you can

Let's forget all the candywrapping and boasting this is better than that

Compare apples to apples by analyzing earning per click

It the beginning of a new year so if you're sending traffic/joins to various programs check your numbers for last year
- the MOST IMPORTANT NUMBER is AMOUNT PER CLICK EARNED!!!

Smart business people have many eggs in many baskets, sending traffic to programs is like investing, have a diversified portfolio

and having Cloud 9 Cash http://www.cloud9cash.com as part of that portfolio is a smart move - ask myself or any of Cloud 9 Cash's affiliates


Obviously Cloud 9 Cash pays for rebills for the life of the surfer and converts and retains extremely well

p.s. I think it's great CCBill has allowed this info to come out

Yup, great feature.

p.p.s. - just ran the numbers again for calendar year 2003 for Cloud 9 Cash affiliates

Overall programs earnings were .04 per click and converted at 1 in 402

Look at what you're earning and if it's not .04 (or better) per click and you have decent traffic I'd like to take this opportunity to invite you to join Cloud 9 Cash

Yeppers.
Strip Kittens (desktop 3d strippers, really REALLY cool) pays on trial and one rebill.
Pocket-XXX pays on signup and first rebill.

:bwave:

best of luck -
aeon

I see absolutely no need for a feature like this...

as we all know..

SPONSORS DON'T SHAVE !!!!!



















:yowsa:

Vick / Carrie,

Thanks for your answers!

I don't send traffic to anyone, but I was just curious.

No merchants has ever asked us to incorporate that into our system, but then again, we normally send our merchants raw data and they display it in their own affiliate system.

I got some oceanfront property in Arizona... :D

Strip kittens/kitten cash says earn 30% of EVERY SALE, not just one rebill.

Glad I didn't send them more than a few clicks anyhow.

I hope the bigger shavers out there are sweating right now. I'd love to see some of these scam artists get into trouble over this illegal activity ripping off affiliates.

I don't think this is something CC Bill has done out of the kindness of there hearts.

I think they messed up.

well said hoop, agreed lump sum is the way to go...

perhaps other processors should follow suit in regards to showing this info as well??

Not surprised that you would be the first one to post a sensible non-hyperbole post here! :okthumb:

I'm personally waiting for the excuses from the sponsors who were caught.
It should be a laugh. :)

Every sale is NOT every rebill.

This is SOFTWARE which the customer pays for ONE time. Not a recurring membership to a paysite.

Put down the bong and back away from the computer.

he he he Thanks TE


and Nick is probably right, it most likely is an error

Very Funny that this happens during an Internext show, would love to see the sweating going on

they will get caught, sooner or later. I hope it's sooner. Then there life is in for a huge shock

nope, corvette said a week or 2 ago they were going to turn it on.

posted on GFY, some of the stupid cheaters (or was it GREED) didn't change there program.

Yup, Old Scroth likely has it nailed. That's a lot of potential money to throw away.

<---- how did you guys know i just shaved my balls? :unsure:

Its a good thing for the future, will make it slightly harder to be crooked for sponsors.

but eh, most big sponsors use their own stats and could do anything they want.

But people have very short memories. This will be all but forgotten in about 10 days.

got a secret video camera at the Holiday Inn :P ?

Shutup you stupid cunt. Get a life and post to someone who might care what you have to say.

There is no way CC Bill will just do it.

There customer is the guy running the affiliate program.Not the guy sending traffic.

Watch CCBill lose processing customers

LMAO
*I'm* a stupid cunt? Damn I'm glad I wasn't just taking a sip of my soda!

Btw if you didn't care what I had to say, why did you bother taking the time and effort to reply?

Stupid, indeed... :P

I can see them losing the shavers most definitely, but do you really think the non-shavers will be moving too?

As a program owner I'd see this as a bonus - when I say I don't shave rebills, it's not just talk. People can see for themselves.

carrie,

Are you really naive enough to believe there are non shavers?

ahahahahahahahahahaha

Cherry,
did you check if the Midol you are using haven't passed the expiration date?

I admit it, I do believe that there are non-shavers... they are rare, but they do exist.
I'm one of them! :) :)
(Okay before you jump on that, I mean with my affiliate program, not my personal hygiene!!)

ahahahahahahahahaha

and you get how many joins a day?

The high low is 2 / 4 ;-)))))

<--------- See Pic









Razors have to be used somewhere


Actually everyone shaves, a very few not on purpose
Just as an example, if you're using CCBill for your affiliate program you are shaving about 10% as CCBill's main (there is a secondary) affiliate tracking system is cookie based

Cloud 9 Cash knows this and factors it in, that's why I pay 60% and eat the processing fees

Don't think that I'm uncouth
I only speak the truth

Edit for spacing

What about tracking joins from back up processing ?
What about tracking joins from cheque processing?
What about the programs that have instashave built in?
What about ssi that redirect certain traffic ?
What about switiching of the stats for certain minujtes per hour or certain hours per day ?

:-))))))

I have had it confirmed by a friend that bavck in the day I was being shaved 70%.BUT I still made more money from him than the others.

I was taught to shave by the VERY best ;-)))))
