I've been on CB (as a publisher) for about 4 days and have a list of affiliates who are sending traffic to my site. However, I don't know how to find out who these affiliates are or how they are directing traffic. Is it possible for me to find anything out about these affiliates? If so, how? I can access the affiliate stats in my analytics section, but all I get is their nickname and hops/sales type statistics.
Affiliates after only 4 days? Congrats man, you're doing well! Clickbank won't tell you their names or contant info, but sometimes if you google search you product's title you can find them... and sometimes you can also find them by googling their usernames. G'luck.
I am not sure, but when you receive a sale, in your Clickbank statistics you should be able to see who brought you that sale.
Setup an affiliate area on your site and have them submit their info to get on your newsletter and keep in touch with them and you'll know exactly who they are by looking at the stats on your email service provider.
Agreed. The more you communicate with them, the more you'll really have a working relationship. Also, I find offering to help them with things (site review, strategy, etc) really opens the communication doors. I think many people see affiliates as anonymous folks out there. I view it as a working relationship.
I have this-- 95% of my affiliates DON'T sign up... they just throw their hoplink on my product and begin selling. As an affiliate, I don't usually sign up for these either-- I don't want all the spam that comes with them. I wish I knew who my affiliate were, so I could tell them about sales, specials, updates, etc... but the truth is... most of them don't want to risk being bothered by a publisher's spam. My two cents.
Great man, keep up that spirit, building a huge downline is always welcome - the money you will earn from them will be the easiest you will get ever on internet. I got some experience with that, I am really doing it even now.Good luck.
