New clickbank update destroying sales.

I am promoting more but that is just the 1 main product I focus on, since it did so good on conversions before

 

Its possible that only that product in particular dried up, however i dont think its possible that everyone in here is promoting the same product and they all dried up

 

That's the thing, the product in question has actually increased in popularity,gravity, and % of sales coming from affiliates.

 

ummm...i guess the clickbank stats are correct, the only question i got is how many of those sales have really been credited to their respective affiliates?

 

That is always a good question. Unfortunately some vendors practice stealing aff commissions. More than once while looking at the source code of the vendor's landing pages I saw the cookie stuffing code (something like this) that automatically ovewrites the aff cookie with the vendor's cookie.
Cheers.

 

Got my check today. I think everything should be back to normal in February.

 

let's hope so

 

what makes you think so?

 

my traffic has been increasing and hops have been falling, and also iam not getting sales, i usually get 1 in 50, sometimes right when it hits 50 i see a sale which is preety suspicious, i have no clue whats going on im gonna contact them and ask them and see what they say

 

Thanks for that. Much appreciated.

Something to consider putting on my landing pages and something to check before promoting a product.

 

Just do not overdo it. Do it only for the product that you promote with a particular landing page. You can get in trouble if you try to stuff your visitors with multiple cookies.

 

I wouldnt even try that on a single landing page. At least if im not looking to get banned from Clickbank. They might not notice it straight away, but be sure that when more people start to use that, they will notice and then you will get banned.

Don’t kill your Goose that Lays the Golden Eggs for a couple of extra bucks

 

Can't believe people are sharing this crap to rip off affiliates

 

yes, only stupid people do that. Why should someone rip an affiliate that is working to make you money. It will only make the affiliate quit and you will be left with nothing.

Its kind of exchanging hundreds of bucks(That Affiliates Generate) for a couple of stolen coins.....no sane person would do that

 

So Everyone is back on track by now?

 

My paycheck statistics are correctly displayed now in Reporting tab. Everything seems to be coming normal.

 

and your conversion rate is back to normal as well?

 

I can't tell anything about conversion rate, because I don't have stable sales everyday.

 

My sales seem to coming back to normal now. THe last couple days have been crap. Today, it's looking good.

I have some plans for the weekend to boost sales even more, we'll see how it goes.

 

You would be amazed how much money those "stupid" people (I assume you referred to vendors) be able to pocket before they are caught (if ever).

Do you expect clickbank to verify the source code of every landing page to find that cookie stuffer code? they would not do that, period.

By the way, an affiliate using this code does not steel commissions from anyone. The last visited affiliate will get the sale, that is how the system works.
