I usually have a minimum of $100 per day.
But this week's sales were terrible! Tomorrow's the end of the accounting week and my first account only earned about $50, while the other is only around $150-200. Gosh!

Anyone else experience some terrible sales this week?

Same here, sales are definitely down this week. My traffic and hop counts are down too so i would expect less sales. The exact same thing happened to me first week of March also then sales picked up the rest of the month.
 
Crap~ Lets hope our sales will perk up after this crappy week =(

Thanks for the reply though, at least I know I'm not alone :D
 
Also noticed a drop in gravity for a whole range of products in the Clickbank marketplace. So, maybe after getting their pay check, people are paying off bills and credit cards first week of the month!
 
I was earning $50 to $150 per week since November 2010, and since that yellow tracking alert that lasted for a week about two weeks ago, i havent had one sale. Ive changed the tracking ID and everything, still no sales. Something definitely dodgy going on.
 
It seems like affiliates get such problems with CB once in a while. There have been thread like this earlier too, and the general consensus was that CB is shaving some of the affiliates.

Could the recent Google farmer update be a reason behind your drop in sales? Although this is applicable only if you were using Bum marketing a lot for generating traffic.

True, there are many reports on this one the last year.

Im not promoting CB products but paydotcom, and i did not had these drops last period.
 
Count me in also in seeing a sales drop this week. I've also heard things like 1)clickbank shaving, 2)increased security on order page causing orders to be rejected to 3)google farmer update and 4)CB server load 5)clickbank manually whitelists its affiliates now.

This guy stated he kept trying to buy through his own affiliate link this week but kept getting "user not authorized to promote this product"

The thread is here:

Hopefully sales will pick up for us again.

yeah my sales are way way down too, very odd...what do you guys think the issue is? Maybe we need to all contact CB? lol
 
There was a consensus a year or so ago that the answer was to create another CB account and so a new CB ID - tracking issues with the old CB ID I think! The thing is I don't know if this actually a proven fact because CB would never admit the problem at the time (like they would!), even though there were a load of posts about it on the WF at the time.

Now who knows the truth of it and whether the problem has returned, but for me after regular $150 weeks, this week I haven't made a sale in 5 days - stuck at $45! :confused:
 
Seriously man... CB = Cocky Bastards.

At times, paydotcom looks like a very good alternative to CB- sometimes even better.
 
Are you guys kidding?

PayDomCom is retarded.

You get a -$10 balance when you open the account to act as a hurdle, and in order to sell more than 1 product you need to PAY THEM $30... I mean... are you fucking kidding me?

I need to pay in order to sell your shit products?

Wtf?

Come on guys...
 
WTF? Does that mean if I promote 1 product, it's free. But if I were to promote like 2 products or more, I have to pay $30?!?!

THAT IS NONSENSICAL! Gosh... I guess it's hard to find a genuine affiliate network these days.

Paydotcom is not affiliate friendly, i'm not sure how other affiliates even defend that network. As for CB, i'm still struggling to make single sell after CDR update that cost me all the money in account.
 
I've been paid through paydotcom as an affiliate . When a sale is made it usually takes about 45 days since paydotcom has a 30 day refund policy. After 45 day holding period, payment is sent straight to paypal account. No waiting for checks in the mail and no minimum balance requirement before payment like clickbank. The vendor however is responsible for payment even though paydotcom acts as the network.
