Dear DP Members, I have a site on which I have clickbank products http://www.weightlossprogramtips.info now i have submitted over 40 articles to ezine articles and have got some decent traffic from those articles. over 100 url clicks (do you call these hops) anyways the problem is that i didn't make any sale. I am not too worried about that. What I am really worried about is that weather the "hoplinks" that I put on the images file that I have on the site are correctly installed. I mean people who will click on those and will end up buying " i will get the commision right" i am worried that the links are not correctly done and people might be buying and I am not getting any commision. Secondly if you can suggest me on the site as this is my first venture in Click Bank or internet marketing. I am working hard day and night but am not getting much results. I am writing around 10 articles per day and submitting it to EA. I am willing to work even harder just let me know what is wrong. Your help in this would be much appreciated. If you have any other suggestion then do let me know that too. If I should go for some other niche or product that might help me in conversions. I have some money saved so I am not too worried about that for now. but soon it will all be over and would be desprate for this to work. I have left my day job and started working on CB in order to get things going. I don't want to make huge money from cb in the start but my target is to get atleast $ 500 from it. its been over a month and no sales :-( So again thanks in advance I am sure this is the right place to ask this and get real help.
100 URL clicks is nothing. Wait until you have 500 - 1000 URL clicks and then judge. Also, not all traffic from ezine articles is targeted traffic. You are in a very crowded market (weight loss) so that could be the problem too.
thanks for the suggestion, and plz check the site are the hop links accurate. I have the hop links inserted into the images of the products. Kindly confirm if they are properly done
Your links are fine, but i suggest you to cloak them, it's always better, and don't worry, if you build it, they will come.... Cheers.
I too am confused about the number of hops. Read a few post here on the forum everyone talkign about number of hops this number of hops that. What are these are these the url clicks or wat ?
Click bank "hops" come from the link that gets to the affiliate site using your special affiliate link, for example: http://youruser.comblue.hop.clickbank.net/ See the hop in the middle? That's what we are saying all the time, "HOP" is when someone clicks your affiliate link, and you see it on clickbank. If you need more help, just tell me
I think your problem is focus. You are trying to sell too many things at once. Choose one product. Make one landing page for it (not a blog), and then write articles specifically for that product. You can create a review style landing page, if you want.
i agree with bl4ckmaN^ ... don't try to sell too many things at once ... better to sell one or two products well than make no sales on 10 products ... also, do go for less competitive niches ... like you i started with weightloss ... was over a month til i got a sale there ... vs when i started the renewable energy market, i had a sale in less than 24 hours ... finally, you can test your own hoplinks ... click each link/image and go right through to the payment page ... down the bottom your affiliate id should be showing ... if it is you've done it right, if it's not, you've done it wrong
Mad article marketing has been proven in the past to, in most cases, be unsuccessful. Get a new plan brother
click on the hops link and go to buy the product if you see at the bottom your id as affiliate then youtr hop is working fine
I would also say test it out yourself. click the sales page and make sure your ID is at the very bottom of the clickbank sales page.
Man, I would say that although its probably better ideally to focus on one niche at a time, you may not want to completely rely on ClickBank. There have been a lot of people complaining of getting ripped and not getting any sales this last week. I am one of these people, and suggest that you maybe spend half your time doing another product. Hint: use ebay pulse, and advanced search, find hot products, use wordtracker to find out relevant keywords, use google search with keyword in " " s and if its under 20 000, write a nice little ezine article. This one strategy could pay all your bills for a life time. Now implement!
Mad article marketing makes me a sale every 10 hops so I wouldn't dismiss it - you have to know what you're doing though because it takes practice to really see conversions...
