Anyone have any ideas whats happening ? I have been getting at least 1 sale every 2-3 days since last Nov 2007 from my BANS ebay sites. Sometimes I would get 5-10 sales a day. On the 14th Jan they just stopped and 12 days later not 1 single sale. Anyone got any ideas what might be happening ? I seem to be getting many clicks per day still but no commisions or sales. I dont think I would be getting no sales for almost 2 weeks straight based on the amount of sales I have been getting over the past few months. Is it possible that someone is stealing my sales somehow ? Your help would be excellent ! !
I have been getting commissions paid every day of january via cj, so i do not think anything is wrong with cj. maybe you are not selling anything.
I Know nothing is wrong with CJ. I am wondering what could be wrong with my site or if someone can hack my site and steal my sales or maybe the PID got wiped...I dont know...i just need ideas.
Actually the same thing has happened to me but my last sale was 1/17. I had been getting a regular stream of sales based on a steady number of clicks but it just stopped on 1/17. The number of click through has stayed the same. I'm thinking it's a post holiday thing where no one is buying now (in my niche at least). I really don't think anything can be wrong with your site if you're still getting clicks. If eBay is getting record of the click then eBay is able to track the sales from those clicks. As someone else said I just don't think we're selling anything now. If this goes on too long though I may do an experiment and buy something small from my site.
Are you appending anything in your SID field? Might be bad encoding in the SID field. Since you're showing clicks, I would suspect that you might be losing cookie with users going to other BAN stores or eBay affiliate sites. I would assume that clicks showing would indicate good PID and SID.. so not sure what's up there. hanji
Normal slump to be expected every January. 4th quarter is always good for sales/ 1st quarter sucks for sales and why you see so many businesses conduct inventory during the first two months.
yeah it sucks! I went from $89 in sales the day before yesterday to 0.39 cents yesterday!!!! WTF!!! I am not joking!
In my case I'm seeing slightly less traffic now than at the beginning of the month. Still no sales since 1/17.
I've gotten more clicks on my site due to CPC ads and not a single sale in 2 weeks. I was thinking something wasn't right. With the number of clicks I wold have expected to see at least something. I was paranoid that maybe my PID was wrong and I was missing sales.. but then I guess I would see the clicks... hmmm Maybe something us up with eBay reporting....
or maybe not. sometimes there're many clicks and no sales (wrong traffic target) But at least with the products search there is a problem with CJ
That's funny, mine has stopped as well since 17th also.. I know how you feel,,, it's good isn't it? (I know,, this is not good, when I think about how small commissions I'm getting..)
I know there was something on the main page about some reporting delays. But nothing that major - it'd contact customer service via the support page for an update on the reporting but also look into any potential issues with the traffic you page is getting to see if it's a targeting issues as well.
One thing I have found with many BANS users is that they forgot to delete the: setup.php file. I have seen many BANS sites out there that still have it in place. Guess what? If someone finds your BANS store and simply types in your URL and adds the /setup.php It opens the page where you can edit your PID's and such. Make sure your setup.php file is DELETED after creating yor site!
