Adword Converion VS ClickBank 8 Conversion

santhana · 08-13-2009, 12:26 AM

I have run multiple affiliates for ClickBank. I have put the code number from Adword conversion in my clickbank. 6 days now, it shows 8 conversions in my PPC, but when I check my CB Account, I was desperated because I only saw 1 sale...

Some people said:

1. it because the visitor who visit my landing page buy the product through another website link.

2. Because credit card is rejected...

I just don't understand and frustrated. I don't know if ClickBank Stole the commission from me.

There is another reason here and I find it a bit annoying: Clickbank reports "View of a Key Page" as a Conversion.

This applies to all who use it: Look into your Adwords accounts conversion tracking page and there might be a conversion registered called "View of a Key Page" with conversions on it if you got them with Clickbank products.

What happens is that if the user comes to the order page, which is a key page, clickbank reports this. While it is great info to have, it confuses totally, also Google Adwords itself, if you for instance use conversion optimizer.

Here is a reply from Clickbank: "I understand your frustration in this regards but we have no control over the settings of adwords. Our system is set in place and records the given statistics as accurate as possible. Adwords uses a different system with different algorithm in place. For the optimal setting with that account I would need to refer you to Google/Adwords."

What has to happen is a separation of the "Sales Conversion" to the "View of a Key Page" Conversion. Anybody who knows how to do this in adwords, please shout!
