Yes, I know that this will sound like a retarded question to all of your seasoned Clickbank users, but alas, I must ask it anyways. How are you counting hops? See, I told you it was stupid, but if someone would be kind enough to answer, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, can anyone recommend a site for article submissions that works just as well as ezinearticles? It has been almost four days, and my first article still is not live with them. Are there any sites with good traffic that have speedier reviewing processes? Thanks again for any help.

Thank you very much for your answer. I have one more question for everyone though. I had my first article published on ezinearticles this evening. It has only be up for a few hours with 26 views, but no one has clicked on my URLs. Is this normal? About how many views does it take to get a hop? Thanks for any help. I know the article is well written, but I am not so sure that it is written in a way to encourage readers to click my links.
It's hard to say without seeing the article......you have a link? Generally, it goes: 1. Very captivating title. 2. Interesting, short (250-300 words) content in the article. 3. Resource box with a call to action.....not the boring "my name is joe schmo, go to my link here".
When it comes to articles, a good click through rate is 40-50%. So from 26 views you should expect at least 10 clicks... Here is an example (my Ezinearticles stats): Please read through the forum, there are a lot of threads with great advice about writing better converting articles
are this the real ezine stats of yours alex,if it is den really excellent CTR,which niches are this article on.
Yeah, I am going to have to read some more I suppose. I had read three ebooks, and have browsed the forum for about a month. I thought I had it down, but apparently not. I have had 49 views in less than a day, and only 2 URL clicks. That kinda sucks.
