I'm just getting started with article marketing with ezine promoting a 2012 niche product from clickbank. As of now I have 165 hops with 0 sales and 0 order form impressions. Should I give the product more time to convert or should I switch products.
 
Switch products. Your conversion rank would be like less then 00.70%

Not sure how good that is considering I don't sell I use CPA... but I would give it a change.
 
you should kill yourself right now by dropping a cinder block on your dick and stabbing multiple knifes into your frontal lobe...+1 rep me if this helps
 
In terms of total conversions, 165 isn't really enough to make a good judgment on. I would say that your ballpark conversion for Clickbank would realistically be around 1:500 for "general" traffic (ie. not super targeted PPC type traffic).

Also 2012 is a pretty shitty niche to be in because most of the people who are into that stuff are fringe loonies and not necessarily buyers... The highest converting niches are ones where you can offer people a solution to really pressing, immediate problems.

However, the fact that 0 people out of 165 have clicked through to the order form is a strong clue that the sales page sucks and I would consider switching products.

Really you need to mainly work on traffic so you can get more data faster, so you can make more informed decisions.
 
You should switch the product man. I think 2012 hype is not there in current time.
 
thx, im probably just gonna switch niches and I now have 203 hops with not even one order form impression
 
just found something weird with clickbanks tracking. The only hop links I have for the product I am promoting are in my ezine articles. Currently I have a total of 107 url clicks on my articles, this is have of the hops that is shown on clickbank.

Has anyone else had this problem?
 
Seems a shame since you are generating traffic. Why not do your own sales page and then take them straight through to payments?
 
I've been having the same issue. I'm into selling wordpress guides niche. Got around 203 hops, 1 form impression, but that's about it.
 
I'm gonna continue promoting the product and doing nothing but seo over the weekend for the 16 articles and see what happens as I get more hops
