    sorry I just signed up to clickbank, and I'm having trouble. Is there any place on ClickBank that displays a product's conversion rate? (visits to purchases of the website)

    Thanks.

    Clickbank doesn't provide conversion rate information. So you cannot really know unless you test it.

    It would be nice if they showed it, but sorry, this is not the case. Test, test, test in order to get conversion rate for a product. Or, look some screenshots in this forum. Most of vendors show conversion stats.

    Would be nice but would also be rather impossible. ONE affiliate sending 19,000 hits through PPV could easily take your whole avg. out the window (I see it in my logs now - product converts at 1:20 - 1:40 and this guy (or a few of them) makes my avg 1:200+. How would CB know who/what to consider real traffic/conversions?

    You could also socially and technically engineer attacks on competitors easily this way too. I think it's good they don't publish any kind of data like this, it's way too random and there are too many variables + change to ever make it accurate. The only person that knows the true conversion rate must have access to their analytics, i.e. the vendor/owner - and I'd be pissed if CB published any portion of that personally...

    We'd all go for that product, wouldn't we? - It would be too nice ... and too crowded too.
    I think it is what you make out of it more so that what it is.

    This guy got banned already, maybe theyre banning everyone who asks about Clickbank conversion rates :)

    In seriousness though read NC Media post above, but also, across any program the conversion rate will vary widely - I have some affiliates who convert 1:20 or 1:30, others convert at 1:100, or 1:200 - it depends on your promotional method, writing style, experience, list, traffic source, demographic, and many other factors. Just because a 1:20 conversion is possible doesn't mean you will be able to convert it - theres no way I could write about chicken coops very well and expect to convert products, I just have no idea about it, know I couldnt churn out articles, or have any real passion for it..

    Just get started, start promoting some products in the same niche, drive a few hundered (at least) visitors to each so you can get an accurate idea of YOUR conversion rate and then scale up with the best converting product.
