The niche is movies , the product downloads of movies , the traffic genuine but no sale. In fact i got sales when i was putting the link not so prominently but when i started aggresive marketing hops came, sales have gone. Is it true that people want to buy things but hate to be sold ?? I am totally confused. when i see my clickbank page i am in tears!!
I'd drop that product in a heartbeat. Try another product and see if your conversions go up. I don't believe the idea that people don't want to be sold... maybe in some cases that is true, but I haven't seen that to be the case. I've had the most success with pages that are all about selling. In fact I find it difficult to make good sales when you just include a link without trying to pre-sell it.
Hi affiliate newbie, you are not the only one. I too promote one of the movie download site and spent close to 70 US one day along on advertising. So many hops and no sales. Try other niches and you will do fine. Good luck.
1 sale in 50 hops isnt an amazing stat newbie. It may be a profitable rate and that is the important thing. I have one product that converts about 1 in 13. Now that is super targeted traffic. I have another that I get over 400 hops a day on and convert around 1 in 35. the download sites are worthless. Pick a different niche. The best tip I can give you is this. The amount of traffic is meaningless. What is important is how targeted that traffic is. for example if you were selling a book on "clock making" and you had a key word "buy clock making guide" you have increased your chance at conversion greatly. thats only one of many little tips that will help you. read a lot around dp and you should pick up enough to make it.
