have you guys experienced anything like this? those are my stats for today. it's pretty amazing that I'm able to get that many hops without a single visitor even displaying interest in the product. i don't know whether it's my fault, the advertiser's fault, or both. any recommendations for someone with plenty of click-thrus but no actions? it would be pretty nice if i could get maybe 1 out of 2000 or something. i see some accounts with 1 purchase every 40 views or something and I can't fathom how that happens... are they just bringing in more gullible/richer visitors than my niche? thanks.
my guess is not very targeted visitors. One of those products is my number one product that I promote as an affiliate. I make about 30-40 sales/day @ about 1:16 conversion. It is all about the quality of the traffic.
thanks for the response. yeah, that would make sense. I guess I need to get to work on targeting specific visitors and demographics then. no point in getting people to click on it by mistake.
I know this topic has been beaten down, but is it a coincidence that I have had the same results as you, except with only 1 sale. CB made some major changes today to there stats, I even had to agree to some new TOS because the change was major and all of a sudden this happens. I'm curious to also know if this has been the case with anybody else for this particular day?
yeah, i just find it odd that not 1 out of 4000 people had the slightest desire to merely view the order page. i will try another method then
Painfully obvious that you are not sending targeted traffic, for some reason people equate the number of hops with the amount of money that you will make when it's really not the case.
Those new terms are great, aren't they? Anybody can get anybody's account suspended according to item 5. Great way to take our competitors, at least while they're suspension is being reviewed. And yeah, that is epic fail. I'm in the fail boat, too, but an order of magnitude behind your fail.
What I don't understand (and is what I'm experiencing problems with), is why people even click on the ad in the first place if they weren't interested, heck I even display the price of the product in my ads! And they still don't buy, they even opt-into my subscriber list to get more information on the product, and still dont buy. ive had 1000s of clicks and no sales , mind you most of those clicks are from pakistan and india....but then again if they don't have a credit card, why bother clicking on the ad?
Pakistan and India, there you go. Lovely people but notorious for demanding refunds even if they can buy. US customers are the gold.
I dunno... Even if 90% of that traffic is bot/untargetted/PPV/BS traffic etc. you'd think to see at least ONE OFI. Either reallllly crazy bad luck or something is wrong there, I've never seen that with 3+K hops. Though it might prove pointless you should indeed show CB that shot. Should also go back and look at over all month/30 day totals and compare. N.
I'm in the same boat. This time last year I was cranking out 1 - 3 sales a day. Then for I'd say the pass 3 - 4 months I would be lucky to do 3 sales. My traffic is the same no drop at all. I created new CB accounts still nothing. I even spent money on PPC to try very targeted traffic nothing. Anymore I don't really care I have other websites that make me money and I focus more on those now then I do clickbank.
I need to agree with you. I stopped showing my ads in some countries. It is not a question of credit card or interest , It is a matter of honesty which no one can teach.
Agreed. That's a bit absurd. Even if that traffic was less than semi-targeted, you should at least have a single sale, let's be honest. CB is junk. And now that the old analytics are gone . . . I'm finished with CB. I've since moved to other networks with far superior tracking systems. CB has the ability to access any resource on earth to remedy their apparent tracking problem. Spotty tracking is not acceptable. It's akin to you working a 9-5 job and your boss telling you "Listen, Johnny, we can't pay you for Friday because, well, payroll just, just . . . well, have a great weekend!"
Please don't think I'm rude or something like that (I'm not) but most people here will agree that your screenshot is "cooked up". Its a nice piece of art by you! Seems totally original! People from India and pakistan don't convert but you should get the order form impressions, submit counts from them too.. There is no reason why you shouldn't. If your stats are original, then i can't help but agree that something at clickbank is screwed up "for you". If you think your stats are original, show us a video. What you are showing is very difficult to believe for most of us!
not even saying a sale, but at least an order form impression... like at least one person clicking to see where the payment/checkout/etc goes. I've had my fair share of affiliates that send me BS traffic, and even then, even in pakistan/india as stated above, if they are human and not JUST ppv, you would by probability and averages alone have at least ONE impression on at least ONE of those campaigns/vendors. You might not want to disclose your traffic sources which is cool, but if you're ordering some $9 package for 500,000 'human hits' or PPV/MLM/BannerExchange/etc. as a single source of traffic I can see this potentially being legit. Otherwise if it's a variety of traffic sources, articles, review sites, ppc, blog, whateva else = something is fubar with your account/hoplinks/way you are redirecting/stuffing/insert random problem here.
Ouch that's a killer set of stats. I agree with some comments that quality traffic counts a lot when it comes to sales, I've seen 1 in 8 sales on uber targeted traffic before. Are you cookieing with pixels? This will bring up a "click" everytime someone hits your page whether they click on the link or not. Try Survey Club on ROIRocket.com or Clone Cash System on HighProfits.com, i've had good luck with those sites recently
It's important to make sure your vendor in question doesn't take alternate payment. As that is something that can happen because something like easyclickmate decides clickbank is down and send the person to a different payment solution. No commission for you. It's why we don't use that. It just isn't fair for affiliates and affiliates are why vendors like myself make our living.
Double check your traffic sources.. It's not targeted.. Are you using twitter to drive traffic to those offers? Since you've provided some "Wonderful" clickbank stats.. not nothing would hold you back to post some of your traffic sources screenshots from analytics or whatever you use to track your traffic and I can explain in detail why you haven't made any salez. Al.
Not one of your visitors visited the check out page. that is very odd. Are you sure you are not being hijacked? i mean, when they come to your landing page, they click on the site but when they go to the order page another affiliates ID is at the bottom? Check and see. If i were you i would order one of your cheaper products FROM A DIFFERENT IP ADDRESS/COMPUTER, say a family or library and see if it tracks the sale. The only to know if your stats are just unlucky or you are being screwed!
We'd better stop making useless suppositions and instead get all the information we need in order to come up with a decent answer to his issue. Some traffic sources would explain the entire problem. Al.
