Clickbank does not display click stats. You need to run your traffic through a script to count that. As for the Clickbank Marketplace stats (copied from Clickbank): $Earned/Sale: Average net amount earned per affiliate per referred sale. Note that this is the net earned per actual sale, and so it is impacted by refunds, chargebacks, and sales taxes. Unfunded sales, such as returned checks, do not impact this number. Future $: Average total rebill revenue earned by the affiliate due to sales from a site. Generally this equates to the average sum of all rebills. Total $: The sum of all initial sales and rebills divided by the number of initial sales. It is the average total $ per sale, including all rebills that may come from that sale. %Earned/Sale: Average percentage commission earned per affiliate per referred sale. This number should only vary if the publisher has changed their payout percentage over time. %Referred: Fraction of publisher's total sales that are referred by affiliates. Gravity: Number of distinct affiliates who earned a commission by referring a paying customer to the publisher's products. This is a weighted sum and not an actual total. For each affiliate paid in the last 8 weeks we add an amount between 0.1 and 1.0 to the total. The more recent the last referral, the higher the value added.
you mean make some other landing page that would send all people to real landing page and mean while count whoever landed to mine? or which script are you talking about?
Yes, it's really quite simple. Get a domain name, make a page like domain.com/product.php Have the product.php page re-direct to the landing page (immediately) You should then be able to track how many visitors you are sending Clickbank and where (geographically) these users are from. There are more complex ways of doing it, but the above works all the time and is very easy to implement.
Selling Clickbank products this way can be difficult for the uninitiated. In certain cases it's better to start potential buyers on your own landing page. Possibly give a review of the product. Why you liked it... how it's going to benefit readers, etc. Then take them to the vendors salesletter page. It's called pre-selling. Not a new concept. But definitely underutilized. Either way, be prepared to tweak your ads and your pre-sell page. Good luck!
You need at least 100 clicks. Even if you get a sale at the 99th click you still have a 1% conversion, which is fairly normal. Naturally you probably want more. But you really can't say whether it's a success or not until you have 100-200 clicks. Hence my recommendation for being open to tweaking your ad and pre-sell page. The strategy you're undertaking simply requires you to be nimble with your marketing. It's not on 'automatic pilot' mode until you figure out what works.
got it... btw, do you guys have any examples of pre-sale page or example of landing page or if not then maybe some strong points for pre-sale/landing page in general?
