    Hi Guys

    Im in a strange position.

    I have a network of sites and software displaying banner ads that produce over 1,000 hoplink clicks to clickbank products daily which all happen to be movie type sites.

    I am currently making around $400 per week and it seems a pretty low return. Even worse is that is used to be around $700 weekly. And the last 3 days ive had diddly squat!!!

    I send the client straight to the vendors page from the banner hoplink but im thinking i should try a new approach or new products.

    Any advice appreciated

    I think that where i am going wrong is direct linking from banners to salespage.

    Maybe i should direct to a reviews page on my site and offer a free product for anyone that purchases via my link

    Also the best thing to do would be to run a opt-in especially cause you have so many hops daily you
    should see many people opting in and buying from your mailing list.

    Im just thinking that maybe the banners thing is an old idea thats out of date. People have moved on and got smarter.

    I also advertise about 10 products all in the one niche. Maybe i should cut down the number and link to landing pages first. Ive gotten lazy and havent experimented in months just left on autopilot and now im paying the price.

    I'd imagine with banner clickers you are getting "curious" clickers rather than buyers... Maybe you need to pre-sell them before sending them to the clickbank sales-letter.

    You mention you advertise 10 products all in the one niche - maybe you should try some other niches/products just to see what happens. Try to think of something that isn't necessary directly related to your site but something that people that like whats on your site may also like... for example people who are really into movies may also be into ... video games?

    Great ideas. Its a matter of going back to basics and testing different things to see what takes off. I'll give this a go and see what happens. Thanks guys

    I would share my thoughts on this. I am also marketing your niche and promise i am getting a sale for >1500 hops . . I feel this niche may not convert better. I am also thinking of changing the niche into games or something like that . if you find better sales please share .
