The Clickbank main account page with the bars, updates almost live with new sales, and your analytics are about 45mins-1hour behind?
Not exactly, but true, and i don't check my account every 15 minutes to see how i'm doing, i just do my job, and once a week i check out how my work goes. If i see just a few hops, then i know that i need to do more work Don't waste your time looking at your account, this will make you sad, just work, and love what you do, and at the end of the week, you'll have a surprize
hah I wish.... I am spending money every minute on clicks, of course I am going to monitor my stats as much as I can. If something just isn't working I need to find out why and fix it or get rid of it. If I am bidding for a position too high thats just not converting, I need to adjust that. Maybe if I was 100% bumming I would check my sales alot less, but im 50/50 PPC/Bum right now.
Totally agree with you, when using adwords, you are in a risk, and that's why i don't use it, there are hundreds of ways to bring traffic, be creative, and leave trademarks like a dog where ever you go, that simple! Just a tip
That is correct. And from a publishers standpoint - I see things first in transactions, and see them before my aff's (for me it's about 20 min), then it updates the front page and lets affs know, then analytics (40+min later). It's cool when you login to CB, see that you have $XX but when you click transactions see that it's really $XXX already etc...
