Hello, I have beem with clickbank a few months and all the sudden all my sales droped to almost nothing. I have a few niches. I was wondering if yall have also seen an decrease in sales?
You know, asking this question twice a day won't really give you an answer. Check that everything works and diversify more. Remember the formula: if each niche gives you 1 sale per week, be in 20 niches. nadavs
I have a question: As long as I can see my affiliate name at the bottom of a clickbank payment page, then I can rest assure that my link works right?
kingbrend - that was an example. Some niches don't give too many sales, but it doesn't mean they're not good. One $100 sale per week is better than one $14 sale per day. Malmsteen - as long as your affiliate ID shows at the bottom of the order page, you're set. Try different affiliate ID's to see that it changes, so it wasn't stuck on a previous cookie. nadavs
Seems like it is a bit slower lately, but that's cool with me, because it gives me a chance to work on some kinks in my promotion to see if I can boost some sales in some of my niches.
Actually thats not correct, even if you see your affiliate id, there are still things that can go wrong. For example the payment processor might not be working or might be rejecting some valid credit cards - have happened in the past. Apart from that, even if a payment is made and the affiliate id was present, thers no guarantee that the affiliate will be credited - some people reported to make a payment and they were never credited. Bottom end, its difficult to be for sure if the system is 100% working without making a payment yourself, and even if so, clickbank might not be working for all merchants or for all credit card or for all countries - lot of problems can be encountered and i might add that such problems are not a rarity.
I have noticed that too, i would have expected around 20 sales at this point and i got only 1, very strange - just paused my ppc since i smell something fishy!
I'm experiencing the same thing too. I haven't got 1 sale yet today, when I should be at least 10-12 around this time. Thursdays have always historically been a good converting day too. There does seem to be something fishy going on, I've sent 800 clicks from my adwords to my LP, then 100 made it to the merchant LP and zero conversions. I normally convert at 1:15 once they make it to the merchant, therefore to send 100 and get nothing is highly suspicious.
I made a sale today, but really, through the 4th of July weekend things were just dead. And they have picked up a little bit, but not back to normal.
I make quite a few sales per day.. and yes, today is slower for me too. I havent received any emails from people saying they have had trouble ordering so it could be anything.
I really hate the inconsistency. A couple of weeks ago, I THOUGHT I was on my way with having 3 sales in a day, along with a couple of sales a day for the following three days. Since then......I haven't had a sale in almost two weeks. I've been going crazy tweaking my LP, my resource box, articles, blog, everything....and still nothing!
I'm experiencing hoplinks that should give me atleast 2 sales a day - but I'm experiencing a severe slow down. I actually had a couple sales over the holidays The traffic is the same - in fact, it has actually increased: Sales are extremely DOWN!
I thought I could blame it on the summer break, people are on holidays and aren't in front of their computers. But how do you explain the same number of clicks (or traffic)? Does that mean that the people surfing during the summer are less inclined to pull out their wallets? Seems like it.
yesterday i had a somewhat strange trend for some hours as well. hers a screenshot of one of my accounts: While this is from one of my smaller accounts, i had the same exact trend on the rest of the account as well...Its very strange ........
