Some new stuff

[AB-Rob]

Our cascading biller is now operational and running under beta.

Currently it suppotrs

NetTransactions (primarY), I-Bill (secondary), GLobill third and paypal last.

If a user signs up and gets denied by nettransactions it will automatically test ibill if that fails itll go to globill

end result: BLING BLING :)

(fill in the rest here)

Lastly,

Sales are lower right now due to ibill being dumb:

IP News Information for Clients
Dear Clients,
We will be making some network infrastructure improvements and will be moving one of our data centers throughout the week of January 14th, 2003. As our network will be undergoing some changes, there are some key points that you should know as they may affect your ability to properly communicate with iBill.
If you currently allow iBill IP addresses through your firewall or router, you will need to add some additional IP addresses to work with our relocated systems.
Also, if you are currently initiating connections to iBill using an IP address [12.8.9.40 for example] instead of a name [secure.ibill.com, cmi.ibill.com, etc], then this would be a good time to update your configuration to access iBill by name instead of IP address. Accessing iBill by name gives you the additional speed and performance of the Akamai edge network.
The new IP addresses are as follows:
o 208.62.228.0/24 [208.62.228.1 - 208.62.228.255]
o 208.62.229.0/24 [208.62.229.1 - 208.62.229.255]
o 208.62.230.0/24 [208.62.230.1 - 208.62.230.255]
If you have any questions, please contact support@ibill.com or call Client Services at (800)764-4266.
Thank you for your cooperation.

So our link should look like this



http://www.adultbouncer.com/sign.php?FOLLOWED?RevSharerID=ab####&ref3=12494&mainsite=ab####

[Kebie]

Have we always needed the main site id? :shock:

So if we are using "sign.php" ABBill (pri) IBill (sec) as of right now, just leave it as it is then? It's the one we are suppossed to be using for the cascading beta?

In the webmasters lounge under "Adultbouncer News" You have the cascading billing announcement. There you have the link as:

http://www.adultbouncer.com/signbeta.php?RevSharerID=ab????&ref3=???? (???? being your webmaster id)

In this post, it's listed as being:

http://www.adultbouncer.com/sign.php?RevSharerID=ab????&ref3=????

Which one?? both??

[PlayTeen]

Or is the beta testing going on for sign.php? I'm having a high frequency of iBill and PayPal signups of about... 100%. Perhaps this beta testing of ABBill explains it.

[AB-Rob]

That is correct.

signbeta.php and sign.php are both using it now.

Skydancer:

your link would be this

http://www.adultbouncer.com/sign.php?RevSharerID=ab12494&ref3=12494&mainsite=ab????


replace ???? with your main site ID # as I beleive ab12494 is a secondary site correct?

[Skydancer]

That's it ... Thanks Rob

[Skydancer]

That's it ... Thanks Rob

Please give me feedback on how the new cascading is performing.

Its showing positive results on our end!

Ok, I just changed the url to the cascading billing yesterday(wednesday) and I also made a minor change to my preview page.
Right now it's late thursday night I checked my signups and they more than doubled :shock:

Now I don't know if this is due to the design change or the billing change. And I don't think it was because of a really good day, cuz I never have those in the middle of the week. All I can do now is wait a few days and see if the signups are consistent.

So my point is, this cascading billing is definitely worth trying out.......immediately.

do we only have to add the mainsite portion if we have more than one site ?

(Sorry for the duplicate)

[AB-Rob]

mainsite option is only for secondary sites

you only need the RevSharerID and ref3 parts if your only one site :)

[Kebie]

So if I didn't have mainsite on a subsite and I got some signups on that site that are showing up in the webmaster lounge, they wil be tracked ok for payment??? :shock:

Using cascading billing for one day through sign.php.
No signups.

This is rather strange because I didn't have a day without signups for 2 months now.

I'll keep it for another 24 hours and see what happens.
