CB sale went to zero

What site can I use to make sure clickbank is counting all me traffic from my link?
 
The problem happens to me around once per month with some time the sales volume just come to zero or to a very low level.

As I promote various products in various sites, given the same level of traffic that mainly come from search engine, I expect my sale statistics should be very natural.

I do really think there is some problem in CB's sales tracking and reporting system, but you can do NOTHING with it...

May I know when was the first time you experienced this problem noame? Before CB starts to update its counting system I never experienced this problem, but after the last updates this is the second time I experience this. The first time I had this problem it, took for 10 days! after that I had a sale in one day and 2 in the next day and the day after everything went to zero again!!! The only reason which prevents me to think that the problem is due to CB itself is that when I click my hoplink it counts my clicks and when I go to the order page it also counts the impressions! But for some reason I guess -and this thread led me to suspect even further!- that the problem might be due to CB itself!
Can you please let us know about your sale amount when you don't have the problem!! I want to be sure that the problem is not due to a boundary situation for your daily sales (ie one sale per day in normal situations!!)
 
So bad.. the problem happens to me more often after CB updated its counting system too.

Normally, I get 5 - 7 sales per days, that give me a commission about $150 - 200 USD.

But when in some days with trouble, i could only get 0 to 1 sale.

When I clicked my hoplink and go to the order page, the hop count and order form impression count work normally every time too.

Oooohhhh!!!! so you go to almost zero form 5 to 7 sales!!!
What is your idea about informing CB for this problem?

I am wondering is there anybody else who has such a problem?

Thanks
 
I did write to CB a few times before for this situation.

Ever time they said it's normal to have "some non-productive days" for all the affiliates.

The point is whether you believe them or not.

it is very strange with CB as I have experienced the same problem cca.2 weeks ago. I have normally had 2-5 sales every single day sometimes 10 sales a day. I think cca.2 weeks ago it droped down and I have every other day 1-2 sales only.

I am sorry because you have experienced this problem!
So what is the status of your "Order Form Impression Count" when you have that problem?
Do you have products in different niches as well?
And finally did you contacted CB...?
 
Same issues here. Very strange.

clicks up. Order form impressions up. Sales dropped to 0 on this account most days this past week.

It gets about 700 organic targeted hops daily. Promoting 50+ products. And used to do $100 a day on average.

I'm pretty experienced with cb. One of my other accounts with the same traffic source is doing a little worse than normal. But much better than 0 per day.

It's still to early for me to say for certain something is up - it's the end of the month and it could all just be a coincidence. But it's looking like something somewhere has fucked up.

others that had similar issues - has there been any change? Have you found out anything more?
 
I have the same problem... I still have clicks and same source and everything but my earnings dropped to 0... What happens?

Well, after 10-14 days of zero sales every thing came back to its normal situation (ie almost 1 sale a day). I experienced this for twice, so I am afraid I won't be on the safe side in future.

the second problem is that always I have just one or 2 sales a day, Regardless the number of impressions, I NEVER experienced say 3 or more sales a day for a specific product!!

Can you please let us know about the number of sales you had before the sales go down to zero?

Thanks
 
Its always a good idea to run seperate vertical campaigns by niche, this allow you to compare 2 similar approachs with different niche, and get more insight i would suggest you look at that too.
 
My sales have dropped drastically since the beginning of this month and I am promoting like 10 products and its hard to believe that almost all of them have stopped converting at once. Hops, order form impressions etc are still the same.
 
Still no change here. Emailed clickbank but i doubt they will do anything. This is damn annoying!
 
Hi,

I used to be a CB vendor. I think it's pretty reasonable for you to contact the vendor and ask them if they are having issues on there end. There could be a lot of different reasons why you aren't converting, from bugs to bad online feedback. It could even be something as silly as his sales page being cached in your browser but actually down on his site. Honestly, if I was the vendor, I would want to know if one of my main affiliates wasn't bringing in any money.

If i were just promoting one or two products i would certainly try this. But what makes it more confusing is that i am evenly promoting 50+ products - with no single product making a significant amount more than others. Which pretty much rules out issues with the vendors pages.
 
I also have the same problem, I experienced this for three times since August! i promote 30+ CB products, and the traffic did not change, but the sales suddenly droped to zero, which might last for a week or longer! After that, the normal sale came back.

hope everything come back to its normal period!

Both of my periods were extended for 11-13 days.

I know that It does not matter for CB, but did you inform them that it is not only your own problem?

Please let us know what will be their response -although I think I know beforehand:)-

The vendors website is ok because we have the our normal hops but no sale!!
I am wondering how a vendor can help in this regard!? I did so, and he said that he does not know what's wrong! Do they have anything in their hands so that determine the problem?

What do you mean by bugs? The bugs on the part of CB or vendors-affiliates?
And finally what is bad online feedback please?

Thanks

No i didn't tell them about other people. Want to see what they say first. How far apart were your two periods of no sales? Its about day 9 for me now so will wait and see. Setting up another account in a few days if no change and will redirect my traffic to that account to see if it makes a difference.
