    I know theres a ton of these threads, and some may bash but I just wanted to see if anyone else is having any similar experiences.

    So two of my accounts had gone about 9 days without any sales, this hasn't happened in over a year, but whatever. The thing I find strange is that I had two sales from each account today, just thought it was weird both had sales after this long grace period. Anyone else have something like this happen?

    I've had sales every single day, very consistently for a while. Most of these threads pop up when somebody has had a lucky streak and it ends, CB reporting errors are aren't even a myth, they are more of an excuse.

    Unless you go from thousands in sales a day to nothing for an extended period, then there isn't really a basis of comparison.

    Hence why I said I made this thread not to complain, but to see if if anyone else is seeing the same thing, Clickbank has been very generous to me :D

    I read over at warriorforum massive threads involving people switching to different accounts and seeing sales coming back. Most of these people were making dozens of sales a day then went to zero, switched accounts and boom, things back to normal, something is definitely up with their tracking system, no doubt there.

    I've seen 1400 targeted Hops = 0 sales man.
    Conversion rates are only steady by chance in my opinion, its chance..

    It depends on your niche and your traffic. If they are quality traffic, making sales is possible.

    account swapping worked for me, but many will tell you that it is a load of rubbish. What have you got to lose in switching?

    I don't buy into the account switching or reporting errors, Gallito hit it on the head that most of these threads are created by affiliates that are use to getting daily sales then all of a sudden see zero's then use these reasons as an excuse. Some people have switched and have seen sales but others have switched and seen no results, I think its mere coincidence more than tracking problems...

    I just don't trust Clickbank at all, any company that knowingly has crappy stats tracking for years and years, and does nothing about it seems a bit suss to me.

    Time to call a truce Patch.

    Just to make it clear, I don't think CB is ripping anyone one off. I think that by being more strict with the credit cards, they are stopping some sales completely, i.e. CB don't make money, publisher doesn't and nor does the affiliate. Many people have received emails from people who have not been able to buy a product when going through their site. That is a fact.

    Peace out.
