Hey Clickbank, wtf?

Clickbank has definitely gone downhill.

The products do not even convert well anymore.

I use to send 500 visitors and get 10 sales.

Now I send 10,000 visitors and get no sales.

The visitors are still all the same quality.

Their new rules are just going to make their sales volume decrease by ten folds.
 
This is exactly what's going to kill sales.

If you tell people EXACTLY how they're going to make their money (although it does work) they don't want to hear it.

The fact is - most people buying get rich quick products aren't exactly the brightest of bulbs, so when you start getting into specifics such as affiliate marketing, blogging, backlink building etc. they just get put off.

I can certainly see many vendors and affiliates - moving to another network.

I know I sure am.

Anyone know of any solid alternatives?

I'm sure all the big names with upcoming IM launches do :)



Ok but buyers kinda want it the old way. If a product does not
- "guarantee" success
- promise "no work"
- have any cheesy promo vids / absurd testimonials

then pretty much nobody wants to buy it. I've split tested, I know it. A 500 pages treatise on IM theory for $50 never sells but a push-button-spamming 0 PR blogs for $70 makes a nice turnaround.

This one's easy. Don't use time, use space. Have 2 pages on the same website, one selling for $200 outside CB, the other selling for less through CB. Then use something like 'elsewhere for $200, but here for 20$". Spacetime continuum :)

I'm not sure if anyone else has experience this but my sales just went to poop this last month and they have been going strong for years. I can't even figure out what's causing it...it's very strange.
 
Only 1 thing comes to my mind,

WTF does clickbank intentionally want to go out of business !

Because it's better than going to jail? (FTC usually doesn't send cases for prosecution so I'm exaggerating, but you get the point.)

Many are now with Plimus.
 
Something definitely is coming on.. I got an email from cj to remove any reference to 'membership growing xyz daily!' in any content or banner.
 
All this would be irrelevant in a different jurisdiction. Now is the chance for someone to "take action" :)

Just like the offshore banks became really huge when people got fed up with all the regulations at home.

Not the IM guys. Plimus axed all IM-related offers.

It's why I stopped promoting Plimus offers.

I like where your head's at. :D
 
Personally I think it's a load of BS. Heres what they want us to say
"Hello, I sit on my couch and make websites just so I can make money to support myself. I don't have any products myself in fact I made this entire website just to get you to buy a product through clickbank"

THey want honesty?
