CB Sales Suck

Discussion in 'ClickBank' started by Blasingame, Jun 28, 2009.

    I spent this weekend making sure I send and get good quality traffic. I had over 4000 hops of good traffic and only had 2 sales. ClickBank is beginning to take up a lot of time wgich may not be worth it.

    This sucks for me... ClickBank is taking me down

    Exactly how did you get traffic? PPC, seo, bum marketing.. And also what kind of product did you promote? These play a big role to convert. Also are you using a landing page or redirect? Next step is to analyze what went wrong and learn from it.

    Any product that has a decent gravity will convert a little better than 2 sales out of 4000 quality visitors.

    I think blasingame refers to CB's skewed tracking system.

    Did you try new/switched/no tracking id's and see what happens?. Or maybe you just got a large influx of junk traffic, or maybe they started googling for their purchase or whichever...

    I'm at a record low I use to do 2 - 3 sales per day and I have done 1 sale in the last 18 days. I tried switching links back to the old clickbank links, I made a new account and nothing seems to have worked.

    My lowest 2 week check was for $76 which came about 5 months ago and it looks like I'm about to break that record on my next check.

    I understand people aren't buying right now but when you send over 150 hops per day I would think a product with over 100 gravity has to convert better then 1 sale in 18 days. My traffic is mainly from articles and blogs.

    I have very limited experience with CB but I think that people are still buying.

    I have been posting an average of about three articles per day for last two weeks and I am getting at least one sale everyday. I have already made two sales today. I have never had more than two sales on the same day so far. Let's hope that today will be the day.

    Perhaps it is just a beauty of being in a desperate niche. I guess when your soul is on fire... the logic goes out of the window.

    they suck for me too. I'm not seeing the affiliate code in the checkout when I click through. Have tried this with mulitple aff codes. I know, it might be my AVG setting up Clickbank as a danger zone or something. Just wonder if CB's tracking is all that right now. Love to try it out on PayDotCom or Plimus. Just never heard rave reviews about either one.

    Choose the right products. Not every cb product can make you money.

    Not sure what is going on. I went from a pretty stable conversion of around 160 down to 800 the past week.

    I am promoting numerous products, so it is not a niche thing.
    My traffic is all arriving from search engines.

    It is also not an economic thing, because my sales with yourclick and plimus are stable.

    Well.....

    As stated in the las post yourclick and plimus are stable when clicbank is not doing nothing or selling like a fool. This is the mystery we all talk about. Why does this happen if it is not a conspiracy or sonething very wrong

    What about your sales this weekend?

    If it is still low or no, please change some other products. Wish you good luck.

    What you need to do is stop supporting Clickbank. There are plenty of other networks that convert consistently and won't give you a headache.

    There is nothing wrong with CB. What's wrong is the way you are marketing. Change your marketing methods, and you will start to see sales. There are more than one ways to make sales.
