Well there are different ways of creating a new account. You can create one in a friend of family member's name and go legit. But to not become linked to one of your banned accounts, make sure to do what I outlined above, plus never log back into your old accounts.
Good luck,

it could be the advertiser. they shave sometimes. use a different advertiser for a similar offer.

It's seriously pissing me off lately. The number of hops I am getting is falling like a stone for the last few days and to top it off I haven't had one hop at all today! There is definitely something wrong with Clickbank and I don't care what anyone says to the contrary.

i think everyone knows about CB doing this shit. we all know the drill once you promote a specific traffic source to a specific product and to the same landing page and everything and your stats are always the same everyday and the BAM sales drop to 0 or 1/10 of what they should be. you know something wrong. and you think oh maybe its just not updating so you wait and eventually sales come back or maybe they dont.
if they do come back the time frame that things were out of the ordinary never updates with any sales that you missed, it stays at low or no sales so you just loose those sales even though you never stopped sending traffic that you kow by experience would have been converting.
CB will claim everything was business as usual. but then create a new account and redirect your link and just like that sales coming back in like they where before. this shit happens all the time to many many people.
this is the number 1 reason i dont mess with CB too much any more.

you guys.. just try direct linking with adwords.
i have tested it almost 10 times. the test's intention was to determine whether
they were shaving or not. unfortunately, yes. these tests were not for selling
but tracking hops.
in the first weeks, everything was fine. all data seemed to be identical with
clicks reported in adwords. but after that, something was wrong. the hops
reported plummet and the difference was so huge. i let that campaign ran
for around a week. still the same. how could this happen?
then, i ran another test, test and test as said before.. same thing.
they're seriously shaving guys. when you're doing good at first, it's all okay.
but, everything seems to be not okay anymore after maybe they think your
acc is a good candidate to make them free money.
it's either they're shaving or their tracking system is suck, both are shaving
for me. but, to say their tracking system sucks is irrelevant at all because
everything seemed to be fine at the start. so judge it by using your common
sense.
just test it if you have money. i spent around $600 for these tests.

I've experienced some problems here and there with Clickbank too, but I guess this thread is only a reminder not to keep all your eggs in one basket; diversify your revenue streams.
At this point it doesn't seem like a good idea to rely solely on Clickbank. Going to try my luck with other things - CJ and CPA looks good at this point.

I can't imagine why they would need to shave, given the amount of money they are making legitimately, but I think their tracking is a bit iffy at times.
Or maybe they keep getting hacked and they daren't tell anyone in case it affects their business standing. This happens to real banks and they keep it quiet, so it can happen to Clickbank too.

I dont trust Clickbank either. For last 10 days, i have 633 hops, 76 order form impression and 0 sales.
I am using CB for 2 months, in the first month, i used to have at least 3 sales with such order form impression numbers. I know they have problems some with tracking system right now (they say it dont affect hops/sales) , but i just dont believe there was no sale for me in this period!
