    Is it for me or in general? No sales for days together. That happened after i used adwords? Any possible reasons?

    Yeah, I experienced this same thing.. first I thought it might be Clickbank, but a lot of my affiliate buddies are complaining to me about the same issue.

    You`re not alone dude.

    Stop worrying about what month it is, what stars are aligned, how many elfs are stealing your cookies, just get to work. There are 100000000000000 reasons why you didnt make a sale.

    What changed for me, was when I stopped worrying and just started working.

    It really depends on you and what you are selling. If you want to look for a downward trend you will find it. There are a lot of reasons why sales are down overall. But even in the worst of times there will still be people who figure out how to profit.

    I average 300 a day ($500 during non holiday times) and today I'm at $0 WTF, that is not right. Hops are being reported as normal, this is a crock.

    I do not think digital products on CB are popular during the holidays -- you should be looking into physical products during the holidays (amazon, ebay, cj, etc) as an affiliate.

    Depends on what you are selling and marketing....my sells are the same and have increased for some of my newer niches that I've recently started promoting.

    There is never explanation for everything. One day you do one thing you don't get sale, the other one you do the same thing again and you get even more sales than you expect. There is no rule...

    Strange I don't see posts like...is there something strange with Clickbank...I get more sales than I expected :D

    Seems a bit up and down these past two months for me. For a whole week after black friday I had NO sales, and then yesterday I had my best day ever. Go figure. Anyway, I'm focusing on using this time to work on building the ranking of my sites in the SERPS, and I'm looking forward to seeing things really pick up again sometime early next year! :D

    I've actually had pretty good sales lately. One of my sites that promotes xbox 360 repair is doing better than usual. Chri5123's product is the one I'm promoting.

    My sales are drastically down also (went from $300-$500 weekly to just about nothing). I'm just going to work harder and start finding more and more different niches, products, and ways of earning online.

    NEVER QUIT! ;)

    Yeah, mine are fine at the moment. I mean they were bit better in November, but still they are flowing in quite consistently.

    At least I'm happy :)

    I'm with you guys on this one. Sales have been down across the board for the past week or two. I thought maybe it was an issue with Clickbank at first but I guess not.
