    Let's review, the whole economic problem started on the 13th of September when the first big investment bank crashed. I still rocked the sales. I made record profits up to this last week and bam, zeros day after day after day. Approximately 6 minutes after my complaint was responded too, the sales just "magically" start to come in. Yeah,,,, must be just a "good" day. I guess I'm just having a "good" day today too, because it's suddenly "magically" converting.

    Also, to add to the "conspiracy theory", after they checked my account, my hops were reset back to zeros. Yeah, it's just magical good days when that happens. Just "magical".

    I think it has to do with what Norb brought up, the fraud related software. It explains why that some people are still doing fine, while others are getting the shaft.

    Like, everyones hops didn't work for the first part today. Maybe they decided to reset the system after I bitched and started converting after they reset mine.

    No where did I use the word "magic", that's you. You'll never see a post where I say sales have to do with luck or magic because those are things I can't control and I refuse to operate a business that way. I either got a lot of buyers to my sites on a particular day, or I didn't -- that's just my mindset.

    Looks like things are hopping for you again, glad to hear it.

    This is because clickbank is eating your sale. they are directly depositing money in their account and forwarding your thank you page to customer.

    This is mostly happening to NON US Merchants and Affiliates.
    As a programmer I am pretty confident this is do able thing.

    Take it seriously guys..

    You know what...

    I was the one leading the charge against possible Clickbank conspiracy theories, until I emailed them. Then surprise, surprise sales start trickling in again at a normal rate, and slowly increased and grew as they were well one their way to doing until September 9th and on.

    Fact: Clickbank admitted they had "technical issues" on the 9th for a very "breif" period of just a couple hours.

    We're they lieing? Are things much worse behind the scenes than we can imagine?

    Or...

    Is everything thats happening in the US lately, affecting markets and other economies around the world to show this much fluctuation and pure randomness all of a sudden?

    Maybe the combination of both?

    All I know is my sales are happenin now :D

    Also take note, all my custom PHP tracking I had setup, 90% disfunctional now and it was working fine for 2 months until recently. I rarely ever get a tracked sale now, 90% are no tracking code where as it used to be opposite before all this mess.

    Their analytics are not accurate imo, and this is coming from someone that is actually seeing results, not just bitching about no sales.

    I tried your method and sent them a message that even includes proof (cb-analytics.com ClickBank index) and a possible cause for the problem. Let's see which template they'll use to answer now.

    This is scary, guys. I sent ClickBank an email, I got a reply, and I got a sale. We're either out of the drought or ClickBank changed something.

    Guess I'm back on track. Going to write another article.

    I'm telling ya, it has to be a software issue. Norb brought up the idea that there is some sort of software to protect the system against fraud. It must be new. They could of got it when the system screwed up on the Sept 10th. It explains why some people continue to get sales fine and others get the shaft.

    This is very weird. I didn't even complain and today was my first sale in a while. I had definitely seen less sales the last few weeks, and NONE in the last week until today.

    There are a lot of "coincidences" going on here. Hopefully whatever was going on is done.

    Just a note, don't send them rude messages. I don't think you want to piss off people cause they won't want to help you. Just let them know how frustrated you are and you want them to "check into" your account.
