Today I was very surprised to find two sales registered in my ClickBank account...What surprised me was the fact that I did no advertising today because of the holiday and I sell the product that got the sales exclusively through PPC. Both sales were recorded in the early evening, so they can't be delayed sales from the day before...I'm also showing no hops for that product in my analytics. Believe me, I'm not complaining....but it just seems odd. Any possible explanations?
someone has entered the wrong affiliate ID as your ID. So you must thank him for giving you free sales LOL!
Probably a returning visitor. The visitor didn't buy right-away, but he returned later and bought the product, since he has your cookie, you get the commission.
If you have been with Clickbank for a while, then you should know that there is something called Cookies . Clickbank cookies stay on the user's computer for about 60 days, provided they are not over written by a different clickbank affiliate's cookie, or maybe manually deleted by the computer user or a Virus scan program. The Cookies gave you those sales because you were the last affiliate who refereed that customer to the sales page, so its very normal, I mean very normal and not Odd as you put it. A good number of my sales, I think about 20% or so come from returning visits credited to me thanks to the Clickbank Cookie.
Thanks, guys...I AM pretty much a newbie to ClickBank, so this explains it...I hope it keeps happening, lol.
