ClickBank Reporting Issues?

    Hey All,
    Have any of you seen your sales drop today? I know my stats inside and out and there has to be a problem. I have been consistently making $800 to $K a day then yesterday it dropped to $295 and today nothing. My PPC campaign is running strong and my CTR to the merchant page is the same. I checked the order pages and my affiliate ID is present. I don't get it.

    Thanks

    Yesterday and the day before, I had the same problem. I get 4-6 sales a day on average with my sites. The last two days, just 1 each. Same number of HOPS if not more than usual. Today seems back to normal, if not a bit better than average. Three sales midway through the day.

    Remember, Spring Break is on for the next few weeks in the US. It may be wise to tune your campaigns targeting the high school and college niche!

    Its probbably Google Adwords, not clickbank. Try pausing your campaign, wait a day or two, and it should go back to normal.

    That's normal. Ubnormal is the author's stats. Dropping from almost $1k to $300, that's unusual.

    I average 6-10 sales a day - today I was at 0 sales until 8 pm... when I got 2... I blame it on Easter Weekend - I am pretty sure there'll be even LESS sales tomorrow... People go visit their family or simply go on a little vacation since it's a long weekend... This is my guess.

    .. yeah somehow I didn't think of that.

    For today my adspend is as usual - 25$, on a regular day it would have brought at least $200 in sales :(

    Really depends on your niches, like some niches will sell no matter what time of the year and some will sell strong in certain parts of the year, thats why its important to diversify and sell multiple products, too many affiliates sell just one product then when its goes to crap they start blaming clickbank. Try a mix of strategies like Bum marketing , blogging or article marketing , to generate sales and will also create backlinks to your sales pages , I'm having great success with BUM and SEO I got 9 sales so far and should get afew more. I'm releasing a ebook on how I do it- I wanna help people aye!! Cos i know how hard and frusttrating it can be to make money online.

    I am doing all of it. PPC, SEO, Articles, Blogs, Squidoo, Digg... The 2 sales today are actually from SEO and not from PPC. Diversifying is great - as long as all of your products convert ;)

    I dont do PPC I think seo converts better and theres less risk. Digg is only temporary and doesnt last

    I agree with you. But SEO takes time... and while investing my time on SEO I need to eat and pay my bills - that's where PPC comes in along with DIGG and other quick temporary traffic sources ;)

    Only took me a week to generate money thru SEO, I think it depends on how you do it. PPC is easier but it can be very costly if you screw up.
