ClickBank is Stealing from Me

1 replies
Hi Guys

You will, no doubt have seen many threads stating that ClickBank is stealing, scamming or shaving. Let me make it plain up-front: I work with ClickBank and I do not believe any of these claims for one moment. The reason I make this post is that I only yesterday read a thread about this very subject and as a consequence I did a bit of research too.

I came across one fellow who wanted to know why the impressions of his Thank-You page, as reported by Google Analytics, differed from the orders processed by ClickBank. He said, that he had no idea and that ClickBank had refused to answer. I also came across similar complaints saying that the number of hits to a sales page differed markedly from the number of conversions reported by ClickBank.

Well it seems to me that these are pretty poor reasons for thinking there is anything untoward going on. Firstly, who is to say that the first person's page has not been posted somewhere online - that could easily account for the discrepancy he reports. And the second complaint surely is easy enough to understand. Any affiliate having set up a campaign would surely go to the order page to check their affiliate id was properly passed through.

ClickBank are a professional company that have been serving internet marketers since 1998 - over 10 years. Sure there may be people who have found ways to abuse their system and 'steal' commissions, but that's not ClickBank.

Personally, I think it's about time we stopped knocking them.

    Meh.

    I'm too new to clickbank to comment on this. On the other hand I've used payment processors since 2002, so here are my views...

    I don't like their policy of taking money from your account if you've not made a sale for a while, that sucks.

    I'd also like to see them introduce the kind of functionality that RegNow offers affiliates (ability to use vouchers and offers etc. etc.).

    Also if you have 2+ products then clickbank sucks compared to other payment processors.

    Hats off to them for their analytics integration though, it works a treat!
