137 hops in 3 hours - not a single sale

[Sevonator]

Please dont take offense....but it sounds like your taking a half-assed/lazy approach.

One blog with one post and you expect miracles? Honestly, I would *never* purchase anything from a blog that only has one post...what kind of credibility would that site have?????

NONE......in my eyes. Other people could think differently.


I would never expect a blog with one post bring me any sort of cash......

Never mind that how low targeted his product may be in relation to my blog niche, 174 hops in such a short period should've produced at least one sale, don't you think?
So, I do think something's wrong with CB. I did write to them (the first time when couldn't check out buying a product) and I got the answer - something about my CC might have been declined for no particular reason and that there was nothing they could do about it. I wrote them again half an hour ago about how many hops I have and no sales, but it's too early to expect an answer.

edit: I've just checked my stats - 198 hops!!!! I'm going insane!

Hi,
It's happen not for your CB links but most of CB affiliates...and for your info there are thousand of people out there suffering from this CB error.Especially for those who using PPC ads, bidding high keywords.

Try go to google, yahoo, etc search engine then type "clickbank unable to process your order" then you'll surprise.

Or here's the simple test...ask someone (could be your friends or family) buy any CB product that you like (product that you wish to buy in the future) from your hoplink and see the result.
If they can get thru, meaning there's no problem with CB payment processor and don't forget to pay back your friend.

Try to use this test using other computer with differernt IP address.
And dont forget to post your result here.

Just wanna share here, do you know there's a forum to discuss almost anything about clickbank? If no check this out ClickBankSuccessForum.com


Good luck.

Is this clickbank error ?
I'm just going to promote a product from clickbank and hopefully it wont affect me

It depends on the source of the traffic.

How qualified the traffic is.

Have they been pre-sold.

The target pages conversion potential.

Etc etc...

Send 5,000,000 chinese school boys to a "how to grow cheese in your attic" site and you ain't gonna make ANY sales.

X amount of hop DOES NOT = Y amount of sales

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Maybe the niche you are targeting does not convert highly.

[nicholasb]

the simple answer is that the product you are promoting just might not be converting, all though may be too early to tell

I recently drove $90 worth of PPC traffic to a pre sell page, got 137 hops, 15 order impressions and Zero sales.

I feel your pain bro. Not sure what the hell I am doing wrong here. I mean surely it cant be that hard to make one damn sale?

Cheers

Sounds like you are promoting the wrong product to me. Over the past 10 days, with a brand new product that has no stats in the marketplace at all (yet), I've had 211 hops and 4 sales.

What is the 'order form impression count' of the product?

If people are visiting order form and not purchasing,then there is some problem.
