If you log in your clickbank account you'll see they have introduced a color coded risk tiers : The new risk tiers are composed of 6 color-coded tiers, each with an indication of the risk management level for the account: Violet Tier – Lowest risk account, great performance, exceptional customer satisfaction Blue Tier – Low risk account, great performance, strong customer satisfaction Green Tier – New or Good quality with good customer satisfaction Yellow Tier – Some risk issues, these should be identified and corrected Orange Tier – Major risk issues which must be improved, account termination potential Red Tier – Out of compliance with risk standards and must be improved as soon as possible, at risk of account termination This involves new fees (surprising?) and the ultimate goal is to improve their own records regarding refuns and chargeback, and I think it is actually going to work, but it will be starting only in january next year: http://www.best-reviewer.com/explanation-clickbank-s-risk-management-tier-9452.htm This at least will allow us as affiliates to make a better choice regarding products to promote, since a product with very high refund rates is not good for anyone.. And the account termination means the really bad products will be cleaned out automatically..
That's a good news for clickbank affiliates and for the clickbank as well. This will make their program more reputable and trustworthy. thanks for sharing...
Overall this will help Clickbanks credibility... sellers who can't keep their chargebacks under control will simply move onto Clicksure or another "scammy" type of affiliate network.
