Clickbank stats are screwey

Platinum Matt · 10-29-2008, 05:12 AM

Check your stats guys, it's showing weird for me... The weekly totals are wrrooooong.

Chiayee · 10-29-2008, 05:25 AM

I noticed the same thing too.

Same landing page, same traffic, but conversion is down.

Look like time to test other products.

Alexa Smith · 10-29-2008, 06:10 AM

It does seem very clear, both from many comments here and in other forums, that Clickbank has some real "issues" at the moment, and not just stuff that can be explained away by the economic climate as some people hope! I'm looking at Click2sell.eu and PayDotCom, myself.

richpeck · 10-29-2008, 06:22 AM

Dont both with Click2Sell, Alexa - they aren't very good.

PDC is okay but in my opinion, both are just a poor-man's version of CB...

The only issues they have are with their CC processing on some orders. If you want a GREAT alternative (that doesn't have the affiliate power), use 2Checkout... just the same but 2% less fees and much more reliable.

Jakehyten · 10-29-2008, 06:26 AM

what issues is everyone having? what should i look out for?

JayXtreme · 10-29-2008, 06:29 AM

I outlined this on Twitter last night... there are definitely CB tracking issues.. for sure..

Peace

I don't think you guys understand, log in to your stats, it's saying the current week is the week ending the 12th of November...

This copied from one of my accounts:

2008-11-12 (current week) $0.00
2008-11-05 $45.20
2008-10-29 $4,178.98
2008-10-22 $3,594.9

Platinum Matt · 10-29-2008, 06:43 AM

Alexa, when CB is working properly, it wipes the floor with both of those you mentioned.

Personally, I'd stick with Clickbank - let's just hope they get their act sorted.

2008-10-08 $76,145.4

No but really my dates are fine

liban · 10-29-2008, 07:09 AM

I've got the screwy version.

Wonder if they can tell us who won the election...And, to continue to meander, my sales were down 90% yesterday.

greenovni · 10-29-2008, 07:25 AM

I just opened a new account and this is what it shows for dates

Week Ending Gross Sales
2008-11-12 (current week) $0.00
2008-11-05 $0.00
2008-10-29 $0.00
2008-10-22 $0.00
2008-10-15 $0.00

Chri5123 · 10-29-2008, 09:18 AM

My stats are off as well!

I want to make money for this week before I start jumping a week!

Chris

richinca · 10-29-2008, 09:47 AM

For my account it looks like:

- daily stats look ok
- weekly stats show sales happening one week in the future
- analytics are wrong (can't show future dates)
- transactions look ok

This being said, if a sale isn't showing up anywhere, there is no way for me to tell.

Platinum Matt · 10-29-2008, 12:41 PM

Hmmm, it's still like that in my accounts.

talfighel · 10-29-2008, 12:43 PM

Conversions are down for everyone. If this keeps going on, everyone will take their links off their websites. I am not going to wait so I did take them off my websites.

As soon as they see that less and less people are promoting, they will come out and tell its affilaites what was going on.

I hate it when technology doesn't do its job.

Cookie stuffing sites stealing commissions.

I'm not sure there's enough profit in eggs to cover affiliate commissions, really.

It's a pity because Clickbank used to be one of the more reliable ones, but these days alot of people seem to be moving away from it. I've actually had a record 3 days with Clickbank, but others are getting no sales at all. It just doesn't seem to be very reliable.

You'd be surprised at the profit in dairy products.. milk commission is hot right now

cadillac48 · 10-29-2008, 05:23 PM

I have noticed for some time that there are some major technical issues with Clickbank. I have sent many emails and they always deny it. I don't know what to do about it.

howdo-i · 10-29-2008, 06:30 PM

My stats are screwy as noted too.

I am seeing the exact same thing, looks like they jumped a week

Max Ramocsai · 10-29-2008, 07:07 PM

So what alternatives are out there that are actually reliable? This is just getting to be ridiculous.
