topbucks vanishing signups

[andy2000]

anyone else use topbuks and find you have
a signup and then a few hours later it's gone?

[kong]

Yep, I talked to Kevin and got an explanation for it.

Have you emailed them about it?

Kong

a bug in the script which had been fixed
but i still had signup vanaish after that emial the next day the site where the last
signup vanished had that signup come back

Like any new proram it takes a few weeks to get all the bugs out.. The system for topbucks is 100% new, so give em some time.

I had the same problem too. I took screenshots of disappearing sign-ups on stats-pages and sent them to Kevin http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif .
I have to admit he tried to explain me all that stuff, he even sent me some source data from Epoch to show me that even if the sign-ups don't show they count them.

However I can't help my ratios are running down the hill since July 1st - I was
Pornoground 1:180 in June and 1:290 May Iteens: 1:200 June and 1:590 May,
even with Topbucks period Jun 16-30 was 1:120 (only few days and 7 sign-ups though)

This month I am 1:2400 (Little PPS and AVS traffic included) and it feels like I will have to spend another week changing codes to another sponsor again, but I'll give them time till the end of this period.

Not to mention their new stats area sucks, nice graphics but:
1. You don't know from where the sign-ups arrived (Jeeez! ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY)
2. Pressing the back button in the stats area take you back on homepage an you have to relogin
3. I don't have any data for yesterday http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/frown.gif


All this makes me really sad, they were my number one sponsor. And of course question is what was so bad on ctc they had to close it...I d prefer lower payout and real info though.

I had a similar problem once with another sponsor. A signup vanished, and I emailed them asking about it, and they said that's what happens when stats are real time, and someties they have to take back fraudulent signups.

As far as topcash goes, I once got a signup with no clicks. Someone told me that some sponsors have a shaving mechanism where signups are shaved, but some signups are randomly inserted. That would explain why Topcash required you to send in a minimum ammount of traffic.

[XM]

That could explain why was my ratio so good previous period - as they had fewer webmasters in their new program switched, the total constant amount of sign-ups was randomly redistributed to less accounts and so I made nice money http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif .

well i think topcash left CTC because they are incredibly expensive...you had to send at least 50 hits a day because of that...the more accounts they handle the more you haven to pay them (CTC)
concerning topcash, i don't know if they shave for per signups but it is sure they shave for per clicks....i had huge ammounts of traffic sent to pink4free and p4f started to slow down on productivity so i then sent this traffic to Iteens per click...guess what?
only the third of the usual traffic was counted...its incredible....
also its sure that most "per signup" sponsors shave...otherwise how come i get more 5.95 trial signups to my 50% partnership sponsors with fewer traffic than trials at 1.95 with 35$/signup sponsors...?
any clue on this,?

[andy2000]

SABAI on per click they only pay for secound
page anyway on there old per signup with ctc
a got 3 signups the day i signedup and had not yet sent them traffic

[The Dawg]

I had 2 signups vanish earlier today... Didnt get a reply.


What you think?

[andy2000]

I had a signup vanish today also

[XM]

I get about 2 sign-ups vanish daily. I stopped looking at "Today" stats, I am only checking total stats once per day.
It seems they have mayor problem with on-line adding of sign-ups and clicks, however older stats should be correct.
