riemens, you can move to Tiraspol :-) you can get a nice 3 room appartment for 100 U$ :-)

[riemens]

yes i know tiraspol is much cheaper as chisinau. but all our friend are locatet in chisinau. its easy to meet because only some kilometer.

i if i move to triraspol is must every time when i want to chisinau pass the boarder.

How much does it cost to rent or buy a nice house around there?

[riemens]

it cost lots of money. take a look here

That is quite pricey. What is there to do in Chisinau? I looked at pictures of the city and it looks like an old east bloc town. I lived in the Soviet Union for three years, and I don't think I would like to go back to that. Is it fun at night?

[riemens]

i must say , i am one of the germans they dont like his country, stupid politicals and too much laws.......

a friend say come to moldova and try your luck........., have found my wife here and now living here. but we want move out in next 1-2 years.

but is ok lets talk

up to 1:13,000 ccbill this week

[riemens]

omg , that is a very bad ratio.

btw: got today the 4th chargeback (6 month sale) so my earnings today are $ -68

It's a weird month here. Of course the first two weeks were killed by the CCBill problem but things had picked up a bit. On my affiliate side conversion (raw clicks) had dropped back to 1:520 which is ok but on Sunday it was 1:4765!!!! WTF?. Yesterday was modest.

Unlike some here our "non CCBill" side is doing really well. I am getting regular s/ups via NATS sponsors via excellent conversion rates.

So as usual it's all over the place but we will see what the last few days of the month bring.

Thought I would commiserate with my peers.

This week has been a disaster for me. My ratio from the 1st to 20th was 1:1,183. Currently at 1:5,358. Sales down 70% overall. Hoping the second half of the week improves as these are my worst stats *ever*

[jscott]

goddamn chris, that is horrible man sorry to hear that,

[Suckerpunch]

Truthfully I'm not too worried. My freelance business is having it's best week ever so one compensates for the other.

I spent a few hours looking over stats last night and the funny thing is that Google gave me a huge amount of love on Sunday and search traffic on some of my blog increases by as much as 600% per day. Since then my sales have tanked. Go figure
