Im frustrated with this. Any ideas on why my sales went to zero solid? was doing pretty good then blah might be that my adwords are all off for now but i have lots of traffic outside of adwords (article marketing) Thoughts? http://www.johnnyforex.com
I had to muck with the DNS for a minute, if you dont see the site or you see it parked at sedo, it'll update in a few mins
Many reasons.... US keeps getting hammered by the media how bad we are doing economically so consumers let their pockets and purses snap shut.... We need to shut most media outlets off.... They make bad things worse...... End of month -money ran out. Mid week - money ran out. Memorial Day Weekend Parties - money ran out. Ergo - No money to be had.......or spent. Wait till tomorrow as it is payday for many!!!! Peace!
I do most my sales with Cj.com but some with CB, and most of my sales are down today. Kinda weird because Monday and Tuesday were fine. Could be any of those reasons. vene
This may sound bad, but I'm glad I'm not the only one. For the past two weeks, I was getting at least a sale a day. Then, all of sudden I haven't gotten anything for the past 4 days. Same amount of traffic and same amount hops, just not the same amount of sales.
It's been kinda of slow for me too, about half of what I was doing a month ago. At least it's almost 100% profit for me. Just keep working harder, things should pick up soon enough.
Since you said you are doing very well in your adwords campaign, why not raise up your bid a little...
My sales are also very low this Month May. I only made half of the previous month sales. Anyone else experiencing the same?
In the previous 30 day period (April 15th to May 15th) I made $6000 with Clickbank (about $1000 in refunds) as an affiliate. From May 16th until now I've made $1400. So my sales are at about 50% from the last period. That is with the same amount of traffic. Sales are down and it sucks.
My sales are very sporadic and not following the pattern that they used to. I would have to guess with people watching the news about the US economy being in bad shape peoples pocketbooks snap shut like Sem-Advance said. I still can't figure out why my weekly pattern has changed though... I thought it would drop as a whole, but instead it seems to have shifted around and and there's been a new pattern the last 2 weeks.
Gas prices are also continuing to rise as the Oil Companies continue to reach in our pockets with the yearly price gouging for Summer travel.... Food prices have escalated quite a bit as well. Also summer is notably a downtime in retail sales as consumers move money from discretionary spending to vacation spending. Stick with products people need, more than what they want....
It could be increase of Anti-Spyware programs that block or delete affiliate cookies. This might be threat for future of affiliate marketing and alone deserves discussion.
How do you drive traffic to your sales... it just might be that your rankings have changed or PPC ads have been pushed down..
