Yourclick.com - I'm Having a Terrible Experience

    Alright, it isn't all bad, but here is the story:

    I've been (well, up until April anyway) promoting P2P products through Clickbank for 2 years (started in 2007 and stopped in April when Clickbank stopped allowing P2P related traffic). When I got the notice from Clickbank, I went ahead and switched to Yourclick.

    Now, in 2008 I made about $70,000 from P2P products alone with clickbank. I sent super highly targeted traffic to a couple of their P2P sites and ended up with a conversion rate of about 1:85 to 1:120. Those are long term conversion stats too, not a "good days" conversion rate.

    Upon switching to Yourclick in April, my conversion rate plummeted to an abysmal 1:290 to 1:320...ridiculous. It is the same amount of traffic, and the same highly targeted traffic I sent to clickbank.

    I'm beginning to wonder if they're shaving sales from me, or if maybe the huge drop in conversions is because they don't accept PayPal as a payment method.

    On the upside however, my refund rate with them is drastically lower...not nearly enough to make up for the reduced conversions however.

    I will say that their customer service is great. Anytime I needed anything they've always responded rather quickly and very professionally.

    I've also never had a payment come late (they only do wire transfer...well, actually, they just recently added Epassporte as a payment method, but I don't use it)

    Anyway, I'm just looking to see if anybody else has had a similar experience and to hopefully get some reassurance that they aren't shaving sales from me...or at the very least confirm that they ARE shaving sales so I can go elsewhere.

    Does this network pay on time?

    Yes, that they do. I've never had a payment come late...ever. In fact, my last two payments came 2 days early.

    For instance, my last payment was scheduled to be made November 1st, but I received it on October 30th.

    I get my checks directly deposited, but they also have ePassporte as a payment option which I don't use, so I don't know how that would work. But I would imagine that if they're on time with the direct deposit payments they would be for ePassporte as well.

    If you use ePassporte instead of direct deposit, they'll pay out when your balance reaches $500.00 instead of the regular $1,000.00.

    Does anybody here even use this network, or am I the only one?

    Hello crazyflx! Recently, this affiliate network changed their name to MarketBay.

    Did anybody updated their affiliate links? How is the conversion rate with new links?
