2300 Clickbank Hops in 1 week- 4 Sales only!?!

29 replies
Here's my situation..

I have 2 Websites that get around 500 visitors a day altogether.

Of those 500 visitors a day, I get around 250-300 Hops to a Clickbank Product a day.

In a weeks total time, I've only made 4 Sales from 2300 Clickbank Hops

... The only thing I can think of is the site's keywords are "keyword keyword examples". Which means their looking for examples.

My approach is talking about the benefits of using these examples. And if they want these benefits they click to learn how they can have these benefits.

I thought my approach was pretty smart, because they're clicking. But No one is buying!

Any Suggestions?

Thanks,

Jeremy

    Do you have an option for visitors to register for a free example and join your list?

    If not, looks like you may want to add one. Then you can explain, over time, the advantage of buying your product.

    Building a list and exposing the visitors to more content while advertising the product can improve the sales. Offering free reports with you affiliate links is another simple solution, specially if their interest in this niche is recurrent.

    Or maybe this niche of yours simply isn't buying, but sometimes with more targeted effort you can reach their pay button.

      You could try a plugin like (WordPress › AWeber Integration « WordPress Plugins) to add subscribe forms to your blog. There other plugin options as well if you don't use aweber.

          Just curious to why I would hire a professional writer when I'm converting 50-70% of the visitors on my page?

          A list might be an excellent idea, gonna try it out and see how it does.

            4 sales from 2300 visitors is NOT a 50-70% conversion rate. More like 0.17%. Any decent copywriter can certainly improve that, unless you're trying to sell $10,000 products or something else that's too high end.

              I ment 50-70% conversion rate to the clickbank page.. how can i control what they do from there?

              Definitely trying a different clickbank product though.

    your conversion depends on lot of factors. how good the traffic is, where yuo rank for yuor search term, whether the traffic you are showing is unique visits or pageviews, and on various other factors. most CB products have very low conversions with high refund rate but if you have quality traffic and rank well for search terms which are known to convert, then you will see some decent conversion.

    how many other sites your visitors visited vefore coming to your site has lot of do with it. if you rank top 3 for your search term, your traffic will convet lot more than if you rank lower the page. this is because people who visited your site form top ranking are in the shopping mood and not in browsing mood. on the other hand, if you rank 9 or 10 for your search term, then people who are visiting your site already visited 8-9 other similar sites and seen similar products so they are not really your ideal visitors that will convert well.

    product you are selling has lot to do with it as well. some prodcuts just dont convert well.

    lot of factors involved when it comes to conversion.

    your scenario same with me.Still struggling to make sale although my website got traffic. I think the best answer is I could not get quality traffic or targeted traffic. In this case I turn to cpa offer.If they don't buy anything there still can get something free.

    You may be close to the answer here. Predicting commercial intent can be difficult.
    Someone looking for EXAMPLES of something may not also be looking to buy them.

    "Examples" searches may also not be as motivated in general. It may indicate they are earlier yet, in the buying cycle. If other marketers are getting better conversions (any evidence of that?) then its no doubt the traffic you;re attracting.

    I'd agree it would pay to squeeze page the site and offer more examples by email.

    It would be so much easier if we just knew the site you're talking about...

    My first inclination is that you are promising something (like a freebie or more information) to get the click, and there is a huge disconnect when the visitor arrives on the clickbank sales page. It occurs to me you may have fallen prey to using the "click here to get the report" link you see on a lot of high-hype sales pages. You know the kind... no mention of price yet, but when you clidk on the get the report button, you land on an invoice page that wants you to pony up a hundred dollars or so.

    If it's not due to some promise made on your page or an improperly set expectation, then I'd suspect the topic of your site (and your link) are not the same as the clickbank sales page. Say, if your main page is about weight loss, and when they click, they land on a page selling a cure for psoriasis or gout.

    I'd really like to know what site this is. I haven't seen a site that gets a clickthrough of 50% or more in a really long time!

      I totally agree that this could be caused by any number of things.

      Here are my suggestions in priority order

      1 - Try rotating a different CB product in there - you'll find out pretty quickly if it's a bad product sales page with your # of click thrus

      2 - Funnel your clicks to a presell page instead of direct to the merchant. Use a review / presell style page with solid benefit driven bullets. Candid presell videos above the fold work wonders also.

      3 - Try ranking for 1 or 2 "desperate" style phrases for your niche. These types of keywords + product name keywords work best for me.

      4 - Perhaps more education via an autoresponder will increase sales - though I find that typically, if it doesn't sell, it doesn't sell.

      Good luck!

      This is what I'm thinking too. Have you tried running your keywords through the MSN Commercial Intent tool to see how they score?

      EDIT: I haven't used the tool in a while, and it currently appears to be down, or perhaps scrapped?

    There's a tiny book titled 'Prosumer Power'. Get hold of it and read it. Then apply the super-market approach as suggested in the book. This will help anyone to increase his sales.

    That sucks Jeremy. I didn't hear you say that you had made more money with it before or that it is a high converting product.

    I once had over 1,000 hops to a clickbank product and 0 sales. Not one. I thought it was a good converting product but apparently not. You really have to check.

    Another thing you can do is go after keywords that have a high adwords CPC so that if you can't convert for a clickbank product, you should still be able to make adsense money from that traffic.

    Hopefully you will be able to convert your traffic somehow!

    If a click through doesn't convert, isn't the blame mostly on the product's sales page?

    Some objections weren't countered in your affiliate review or the sales copy, methinks. Maybe call to action/assume the same more on your site. Good luck.
