Check All Of Your Affiliate Links Right Now

Bryan Zimmerman · 11-12-2008, 08:29 PM

This started as a thread for one product I was promoting but apparently it is happening to other people as well with other products. So I was asked to change the title of the thread. I can't so here is a new one. You can read the origonal thread here Check your affiliate link if you are promoting Strip The Fat but I would check them all now.

Hi there Bzim

Here is what came up for the products that I promote.
This is with Internet Explorer 6, unfortunately for some reason the library doesn't have Mozilla Firefox or any other browsers. You can check for other browsers by going to the site in my signature.

Fat Loss Revealed is the only one coming up with "affiliate=none" for me at the moment.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots | Yes

Truth About Abss | Yes

Top Secret Fat Loss Secret | Yes

Fat Loss Revealed | No

Strip That Fat | Yes

Gary,

I just recreated what you did in your video here on my computer. Just wanted to let you know that it DOES work for me. I see your affiliate link at the bottom of the Clickbank order page.

I'm using FireFox - Vista OS....

Just thought I'd let you know.

I tried to do what PotPie Queen did as well with Internet Explorer 6, Windows XP.

"affiliate=none"

I triple checked.

Good idea.

I went and ran the same test using IE on this same computer.

Again, it worked for me and your affiliate id DID show for me.

I decided to fire up camtasia and check 3 random vendors...

This is on Google's Chrome web browser and i'm running Vista. You can see me checking Chrome's settings to make sure the cookies are enabled.

1 out of 3 worked on my attempts.

Interesting.

I recreated the exact same test using FF on Vista.

These are my results...

Product #1 - yeast thing - Affiliate link IS correct
Product #2 - STF - Affiliate link IS correct
Product #3 - loophole - Affiliate link IS correct.

All 3 worked for me.

This is very perplexing.....

All seems fine for me on FF, which is what I use, but when I try in IE I get problems.

I have tried a couple of products from IM niche including Ranking Loophole using both Firefox and IE. All resulted in "affiliate=none".

Something really wrong with ClickBank. No wonder I have lost around $100 last week on PPC with no sales at all.

GeorgR. · 11-13-2008, 02:43 AM

i always check whether my ID is at the bottom of the checkout page. Thats the first thing i check. Still 2000 hops and no sale.

same problem for the last one week!
100 plus hops and not sale... i used to get a sale every 15 or 20 hops for the last 2 months!

moreonlife · 11-13-2008, 05:36 AM

There are something very WRONG!

I have just checked my landing pages. All my best performing product's order page showing

[affiliate = none]

Not all products though, only a handful of best selling products. Now, I am really worried.

I am using FF 3.

Did anyone have had a reply from CB?

Syed

Stallion · 11-13-2008, 09:01 AM

I tried one product and my affiliate id was on the order page.
I tried another product and I had [affiliate = none].

FF 2.0.0.17

I'm done with CB. I can't play these games.

kevin campbelle · 11-13-2008, 09:14 AM

I'm using

IE 6
FF 2

Affiliate id = none for a number of different products both in IM and outside IM. Even the more recent ranking loophole.

Everyone in this forum is using different computers, browsers, software etc and this would be a reflection of people in general who we are targeting with our marketing efforts. If we are seeing so many discrepancies with just some people here in the forum, could you imagine when this is done in the general public?

Now it is good we know about things like clearing cache etc but the regular JOE who is purchasing a weight loss or some other none IM product is not going to do things like that. Some people are getting their affiliate ID correct but it seems the majority posting here and the other related thread are seeing affiliate = none. So we are potentially sending traffic to the merchant without getting proper credit for it.

I wonder if merchants are seeing their normal amount of sales but less coming from affiliates?

Kevin.

greenovni · 11-13-2008, 09:16 AM

I am testing this phenomenon here [affiliate=none] Can cookie stuffing be the answer?

I am showing my results as I go along . . . some funny **** starting to take shape.

Rich Rollend · 11-13-2008, 09:36 AM

Thanks for the heads up. I just went on IE and checked my check out pages affiliate=none not good

KirkMcD · 11-13-2008, 10:51 AM

I just checked a bunch of products in IE7 and XP. They all worked fine.

I have had no sales either. Well over 200 hops and not a one. I was actually wondering if it is economic. Post election etc. I was getting about the same sales ratio before as you.

2bwealthy · 11-13-2008, 08:35 PM

got 300 hops this week one of my links with 0 sales. usually get 1 sale per 40 hops or so. not good.
