I have started a campaign since December 2009 to double my traffic and exposure by increasing content and SEO, now the traffic is doubled and the hops in cb analytics tools also doubled however, the sales stopped suddenly I don't know if its an error in the system or something related to this time of the year, I have never had 3 days to pass without seeing sales now its been a week without any sale, whats going on?!!!
My sales seem to be normal here. As it is always said, it may depend on your niche. However, at times sales for a particular product just stop coming in, no matter what you do. For example, one of my best converters went for about a week dry!!!(no sale!) but the last two days saw me selling about 9 copies of the same product which was so dead last week! That is why it is good to diversify. I think you should just keep working and things will be fine again sooner or later. Nothing is wrong.
I promote very diversified products, and as I told you my hops have doubled but no sales, I am afraid that something is wrong with the affiliate tracking/my account
me also... I don't have any problem... but i thinks if you have some concern than why not sent them email
hmm its strange coz I tested my aff link with a $4.95 product and its working, maybe January is not for me although I promote all types of product Forex, Health, Make Money, Sport (ALL). and I use google for traffic (SEOed landing pages) however No sales. maybe people are broke in US at this time
I am having the same issues. I promote mainly health and self help ebooks which are usually very good sellers in the new year. So far as dead as December. Very disheartening. However, I cant mope about it ... just gotta keep working, if those are the new conversions rates I will need to adjust ...
As i already said, things are normal. But it is good you tested it yourself with a cheap product. I mean now you know someone is not stealing your commissions or something. It is always good for the Psychology at least. I can assure you that very soon things will bomb up and will go back to normal. That is what i have noted in this business. I currently have a product I made at least one sale every 2 to 3 days. I have done that consistently for 12 months. But guess what, about 20 days have gone by now. No sale for that product. But i am not at all up set. overall average, my sales are ok.
I had a great start to the new year (for me that is). I've had consistent sales every single day, $50 to $100 per day. Actually I had pretty consistent sales even through the Christmas holiday, which was unusual. On the 8th of January, I had $120 in sales, then on the 9th, zero, and I've had zeros ever since. I promote a variety of niches, mostly self-help and weight loss, which are always great in January. I'm kind of stumped. Still spending PPC, still getting hops. Judging from past experience, whatever causes this to happen is usually temporary and sales eventually come back. Just really sucks while it's going on. I went ahead and sent a message to CB just in case there might be some problem with my affiliate link, which I always do when this happens, but I'm sure I'll just get their "everything is fine here" e-mail. It's probably just a coincidence, but sales seem to start up again after I send the e-mail. They probably would have anyway, but I guess it can't hurt to cover all my bases. Helps to know others are seeing the same thing rather than it being a problem with my sites.
this is exactly what I am experiencing and 8th of jan was my last good day too I made over $100 and same story with December. What is strange to me is that some people still say they are making a killing these days, I promote all types of CB products using SE traffic maybe their traffic type is different
Wow, really wierd that our sales stopped at the exact same point. Whatever's causing it, hopefully it won't last long. I'll have to turn off my ads if things don't pick back up within a couple of days. Too much money going out and none coming in.
actually my sales have cought up.. december was rather bad.. chill out.. these things happen.. work harder!
