Of late I have been observing that in one of my products I am getting 1/3 order form submission of the total hops. But No sales. absolutely?what could be the reason? The vendor? the CB's tracking problem ? Or peoples curiosity? What If I directly send customers to the Order Form? is there any danger? whether I would get the commisiion? I am directing to an order form once generated and as such dynamic tracking with time etc wont work. However My affiliate ID is in tact? please help?
It's normal, don't worry about it. I think clickbank also records clicking on the paypal button on the pay page as a submission. f you want to send someone to the pay page directly without viewing the potential customer viewing the sales page use a link in the following format: ProductNumber.youraffiliateid_productname.pay.clickbank.net Example (your affid in this case in johndoe) http://1.johndoe_water4gas.pay.clickbank.net The problem with this method is that you don't set an cookie in the browser of the viewer. Meaning if he comes back later to purchase you will not get the commission. Also if the user has a pre-existing cookie for the same product from another affiliate, than the other affiliates gets the sale even though you're the one redirecting to the pay page. The only way to send the user to the pay page so that the user gets your cookie is to stuff a cookie. Cookie stuffing is considered blackhat and it is against Clickbank TOS so I wouldn't advice you to do it. I think what you should do is convince the user to buy the product on your landing page, then let him visit the sales page with your affiliate link, and buy the product that way.
Many thanks for that help. In fact I was getting better sales before I went to PPC with the same landing page. However PPC made a negative Impact. Now even bum marketing brings less sales from the same landing page Any derivations?
