Clickbank Conundrum

johnweyer · 09-10-2011, 06:12 AM

I am promoting a popular abs program using ppc with 7search. Linking directly to landing page. The seller claims great conversion rate, etc. - probably exaggerated. Heres the thing - My 7search dashboard shows 110 clicks; clickbank shows 27 hops. Since this is directly linked to his landing page, shouldn't these numbers be the same? Clickbank anylytics also shows all hops in the same hour. Seems strange. Any comments would be helpful. Thanks to all.

Hi Johnweyer,

I am currently working with 7search for the first time. I have 1 question and one comment:

Question: Have you had any success with 7search and Clickbank ever? or other CPA products?

Comment: In Clickbank, when I click "Reporting" then I click "Analytics" I look to the left: when the light is green (which is 50% these days) there is a lag.

Sometimes that's more then a 24 hour off set. Today it's only a few hours off.

That being said, I have been having the same issue you are having with 7search and Maxbounty.

Good Luck,

Hello Stack;
First things first. I sold a few Items on CB over a year ago using Google adwords PPC. Got banned for life. I had done that 4-5 years ago with no problem, rules changed, I wasn't aware, yada yada yada, screw them. When I buy a 'guru rip-off scam product' I sign up as a promoter and buy through my own link. Clickbank has always worked ok for me. Have my few ventures made me money? Nah. But I learn. Direct linking is, I believe, very difficult to do profitably. (( anyone else is welcome to chime here

))
Am using 7search to also promote some peerfly email and zip submits. As far as I can tell, they are being accurately reported. My walmart one was profitable for a few days but as of today has dwindled to no submits. This may be normal (or not - I am not sure) (( anyone else is welcome to chime here

))
I sent a detailed email to Clickbank help desk about the diff in ppc clicks and CB hops. Lets see what happens. ( I stopped the campaign, of course)
Got a great new idea.
