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.

nothing worthwhile is easy.....if that would be the case.....we all would be millionaires......and nobody give me that shit that they are 10X over.

otherwise I want a forensic audit and the reason YOU are posting on message boards and not just counting your $$$!!!

At the two CCBIll paysites that I manage some days I'm seeing over 90% declines on credit cards but it seems to come in waves with some days being much worse than others.

Thanks Cleo that explains a lot since most of my sponsors are processed by CCBill.
I seem to remember hearing they are trying to be very careful on what they accept.
