November Summarized

Discussion in 'ClickBank' started by bl4ckmaN^, Dec 1, 2008.

  1. #1
    During the last week of October I started making 1-2 sales daily with one of the products I was promoting. However, since the beginning of November, the sales for that product have all died.

    I've kept sending targeted laser traffic through out this month, but all I was getting were just hops, not sales.

    I used to convert in maximum 50 hops, but look at the analytics below:

    http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/3083/statsli5.jpg

    These are the stats for November. As you can see, almost 1000 hops and just 4 sales and this is after that, when I was converting 1:30-50.

    Everything has remained the same. The traffic, the landing page, the product, but no sales.

    Can anyone explain me wtf is this? :eek:

    It could be the product you're promoting - most of mine have died a death, but I still have a few products that convert really well. In November I had approx 1500 hops, 78 sales, 11 refunds and 1 chargeback. I stopped promoting about 10 products that just didn't convert anymore. I do think they still have a tracking problem, but I'm pretty sure that the recession is big time affecting the majority of products as well. The make money online niche is the only one that I can make any sales in right now.

    I can say for sure, it's not the product problem, because it's one of the best-selling, high-gravity products on Clickbank.

    I wouldn't say it's the niche problem as well, because if that was the case, then the gravity of the product would've dropped, but it's the same.

    I'm pretty sure that the 60 day cookie, is NOT holding out. I think it is only surviving the time the user visits :(

    My thoughts exactly. I've tested myself on my computer (and yes, I had cookies turned off). :(

    As hard as it is, I'm in the process of finding other ways to earn a living online. Clickbank is killing me with the inconsistency, the technical issues, and whatever else may be going on.

    And the crybabies still cry, showing proof and acting like the problems of the world do not effect the internet.

    LMFAO

    I am still waiting to see this effect happen on any product I promote. Guess I have clickbank sucking my d*** ?

    Keep crying while others keep making money, sorry that yall still think the world's problems do not effect the internet.

    LMFAO AT ALL OF YOU CRYBABIES

    Show all the screencaps you want, do you think the board of directors of Circuit City are thinking its a conspiracy against them because that HUGE company is going under, but wait thats retail, the interwebs is UNTOUCHABLE !!!

    you all need to see the keynote by gary vaynerchuk that is on the blog ted.me , he yells at all the crybabies but i guess he dont know anything either.

    LOL again at all your crybabies who think the worlds problems do not touch your interwebs.

    Grow up, how many of you are over the age of 25 who are crying... exactly

    Or a combination of the two ...

    I can tell you that todays stats are all screwed up big time on one of my accounts.

    A fair portion of my clickthroughs aren't getting tracked. In fact, my # of hops went down, then up, then down, then up again in the space of 15 minutes. This is impossible of course, but that's what the CB stats interface showed.


    It makes you feel like there is a stinky hobo standing just around the corner from your storefront, arms outstretched, yelling at your customers and scaring them away. But you don't know about it!

    And when you get a suspicion that something is up you step outside, but all is calm and people are smiling.

    Listen mate, I don't know who you are calling a "crybaby" here, but that's definitely not me.

    I don't start posting these type of threads, unless there is a proper reason for that.

    If we start blaming our sales fluctuations to offline events, then it's better to quit all this Internet marketing stuff, because in that case, it will be the same as any offline business, but it's actually not, which makes it much better, as in reality online business cannot be affected by credit crunch and all that crap that much.

    Read my first post again...

    I think thats the best thing you can do Blackman!! If clickbank is not working for you then go to another network man!! You'll be using your time wisely by doing that mate!
