No sales no gravity , if seller turn off sales their gravity stops increasing. All sellers want to be on the page one of the clickbank. They can't reach there without lot of affiliate sales.

Lately I've been getting interested in affiliate marketing, but I still haven't found the right mentor to learn from.
I know your post is about ClickBank, but since you've been in the game for a while, I wanted to ask: if you were starting from scratch today, who would you learn from? Any mentors, YouTube channels, or people you'd recommend following?
Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!

I use organic traffic only, for paid ads you need a tream/teams, years of experience, huge capital, special deals and partnership with the affiliate networks to say the least.

Nice one @IM Dude, organic CB is still very much alive if the keyword intent is right. People get stuck chasing gravity only, but refund rate and the actual sales page matter more imo, some high gravity offers leak like crazy with bad funnels or too many upsells. For newbies I’d also avoid pure “make money” keywords at start, too much garbage SERP and hard to build trust. Supplement/review style is boring but buyers are there already... just need decent content and patience.

There are a few offers that I got refunded. Refunds are a pain, a $120 refund and your account will go -$120 you will need to make a big sale or few smaller sales just to bring you account back to 0.
I avoid them like a plague the offers got refunded.

One thing worth checking before building a whole site around an offer is how agressive the vendor funnel is. If they have 3 exit pops, forced trials, sketchy checkout or support email buried somewhere, refunds gonna eat the nice looking commission. Gravity is useful but I’d rather take a lower gravity offer with clean lander, decent branded searches and less refund noise. Also for organic, the “does it work / scam / legit” keywords still convert, but the page needs to look less like a copied advertorial now... Google is not as forgiving as 2-3 yrs ago.

Exit popup is fine even 3 is fine as long as it's not collecting emails. Refunds are part of the game. Just don't promote the offer once you get one.
How low you wanna go with gravity? 0 means no one have bought the offer.
Don't worry about google. Just check what's ranking and write similar because Google algo changes almost evey month. There's new demand from Google evey month. It's meant to wipeout affiliate content.

Share some new screenshots if anything changed 
It's always a good motivation to see how much someone is making.
Clickbank is not dying, it was inflated by profit singularity courses in 2022-2023, top 3 products had like over 2k+ gravity that days. Today top 1 has 130
There are just very few new offers on clickbank, and if your traffic is not renewable that you have to look for other platforms too...
It was nice to run youtube ads on clickbank offers, but after new CEO (in 2019) of google came in, he destroyed the paid ads for affiliate marketing. Today youtube can only give you good quality clicks if you pay 15-30$ per click.
Back then you could get hq clicks from youtube with like 0.30$

The biggest risk with CB organic is building the whole site around 1 vendor page, then vendor changes funnel or offer disappears and your rankings still there but money gone. Better to rank the intent page and keep the offer swappable, even if the article is “review” style. @IM Dude is right on refunds, one bad vendor can make your week look stupid fast... but I wouldn’t wait for the first refund only, check vendor support pages, checkout flow, billing terms, even complaints before pushing hard. Gravity is just a clue, not a decision.

Build a site around a niche or subniche not a vendor obviously. You wanna use a cloaker plugin like pretty link or auto affiliate pro and cloak the clickbank link. If a vendor drops and leaves clickbank swap the clickbank link with a similar product. Don't need to touch the review article. Each offer page has a chart of refunds you can check that too.
