Last three days, I was very surprised. I have a first start with 3 products sold with only 100 hop count. But after that, there has over 500 hop count in the seller landing page but no sell made for now. Is this normal with Clickbank product?
I've been having a slow week every since black friday... Meh people are all spent out, give it some time!
It is possible yes. I have had around 500 hops for one products without a sale and then with another product i had 50 hops and made 5 sales.... There isnt much relation with hops and sales.... I guess the products is what matters. How convincing is the product and how popular is what counts towards sales. Perhaps product price is also a big factor.
products/type of traffic.. I'm promoting a product now that converts in 1000, you might think it's a waste, well not when you get cheap/free traffic. Al.
It's all about how targeted the traffic is. If that 500 hops is coming from something like Adwords using buyer keywords, something is definitely wrong. If it's from not-so-targeted traffic (content network, some kinds of free traffic, etc), it's probably normal. Best of luck.
Almost impossible to answer your question, but you should look at the EPC. Also as mentioned it depends on your traffic costs, with PPC I would be very dissappointed with such a ROI / conversion ratio.
