Ok I seen this thread a billion times. CB stealing money, CB is f'ing broke, I've had 100 hops with no sales wtf?!?, I changed my aff link and got a spike in sales and so on and so on. Well before making another post like that why don't you test your own theory and buy somethign with your aff link? thats the only way you will know for sure wtf is goign on. I know people have said this before, but hell theirs at least 20 of these boo hoo crying threads in the first few pages of this forum. If you really beleive CB is stealing stats then go to this link. http://Yourafflink.sierraphoe.hop.clickbank.net and buy it. The product is only 5.95 with a 2.25 commision, so if you really think CB is stealing sales ect ect then it would be very wise to invest $3.70 to see if its true or not. No I am not the vendor of this product! Im not scamming you to buy my product. I would like to be the vendor of this product if everyone who claims CB stole money tests this out by buying the product. But I doubt anyone will even attempt to purchase it to test out their own theory beacuse most likly everyone who complains about no sales is on this forum all day reading about different ways to promote instead of doing the promoting. ***NEWS FLASH**** IM involves working! Yes you really must go out and bust your ass! Don't listen to the e-book you bought for 9.95 that says all you have to do is get a web site with an aff link and then you'll be a millionaire! You wont make any money reading this forum all day. Go write some articles, make a wordpress blog, go to twitter/myspace/facebook and spam. spray paint your neighbors dog with your URL and let him loose in the mall. (legal disclaimer- no you really shouldnt be cruel to any kind of animal for anyreason) yeah i had to put that in their cause someone might attempt it! Before you go to claim that CB is ripping you off! test out your theory! granted some people have legit claims and who knows mabey CB is stealing commisions! But you will never know unless you test it out! 8088
That's not really going to prove anything, though - many people believe that certain vendors are the ones ripping people off with cookie overwriting and other practices. Personally I stopped using CB entirely as I think most of the stuff on that site is a fraud and it is the only program I have ever used that I wasn't even remotely successful with.
It's not so much about stealing, but the lack of consistent tracking. Example. I try to follow their instructions as per #4 of http://www.clickbank.com.xohost.com/status.php changing ipaddress, affiliate and vendor accordingly. 209.81.12.132 209.81.12.133 64.128.87.132 64.128.87.133 http://ipaddress/hop/?AFFILIATE.VENDOR&tid=YOURTID At present, for me at least, 209.81.12.132 appears to be dead. It's always something with them, especially after the so called "upgrades".
Clickbank does not have any problems tracking commissions what so ever. I've been using Clickbank for years as and affiliate and vendor. The people who complain about this are doing very small numbers, therefore it's hard to get consistent results. Anyone doing x,xxx a day... will tell you there is nothing wrong with Clickbank. Sure, there may be a few "down days" but it's never Clickbanks fault. Start working with CPA networks, then you will understand what It's like to have commissions stolen from you. The amount of shaving/scrubbing that goes on with CPA networks can be unreal, and clickbank doesn't do ANY of that.
