Do the porn gods hate me?

Just a side note on all of this, I have noticed a few posters at the zoo with the balls to post some conversion rates that are stunningly bad, some in the 1 in 20,000 range at this point.

IMHO, the credit card processors have gone megatight at this point, probably because they are seeing more chargebacks and whatnot from people trying desperately to get their credit card balances below their limits. I think it would be really interesting to see numbers for things like "tried and failed" versus "tried and succeeded" and rebill rates. I have a feeling that both parts of that discussion are in the shitter right now.

Work your traffic as you can, but I would say working to maintain your top positions is also very useful for the inevitable curve back up when things start to process again.
