Clickbank Robbing You Or Me Or ...

Same thing on my end. This is also mentioned on some other threads here and on other forums. I have also checked in at times where all of my stats were gone for hours at a time. they have always come back but, i have gone from making about 10 sales a day on a few products to none for up to 6 days straight. something is wrong and i think it's clickbank but, they won't admit it.

What if you tried to buy your own product and see if the sale gets credited? We can cross check the validity of the sales this way.

Well, All I can say is that you probably have been ROBBED.

I too have been experiencing mad fluctuations on almost all my CB niches, but much less on my other products from other marketplaces.

Similar CB stats as yours 1 : 50 - 200, sometimes total drought too.

I have been monitoring this trend since January when all sales are on a high, then nosed dived. They are clever though, they do not totally drought you out. They will sprinkle some sales on and off over a period a a few days.. Unlike the consistent sales we get on a daily basis.

It is obvious that CB has tracking issues, be it incidental or deliberate. It is very very unbecoming of such a huge set up not to address and acknowledge the situation and clean up their act. Till now, NO ONE for CB, has stood up publicly and address these issues.

I am moving most of my products out of CB soon, and will still keep an eye on CB. I predict the huge can of worms will spill within less than 6 months from now.

I cannot imagine how a marketplace can survive without affiliates. Affiliates get motivated with the consistency of sales, and vice versa. They get very demoralised when they see sudden long dives in sales, albeit the tons of hardwork put into the niches. They will leave if this situation persist. There is absolutely no point in affiliates working so hard simply to drive traffic to the products, only to benefit CB. Imagine if you were selling another product with another marketplace with the same amount of effort.

Sometimes, I just don't understand why some people have to go shoot themselves in their foot when they are running such a successful huge marketplace setup. There is definitely something fishy going on inside CB.

With so much negativity surrounding ClickBank, why don't people seek alternate 3rd party affiliate programs? I've personally never heard anything bad about PayDotCom.com.

There are alternatives to ClickBank.

At this point I could not endorse or recommend clickbank.

No problems on my end, last few days have been excellent.

While PayDotCom has not shown much signs of problems, I find the range of products there far too few to promote. So, I tend to agree with Jason and Jake.

I've heard a lot of negativity about clickbank the last few months. I've already given up on it a while back and moved on. I thought it was just me but it seems to be others too.

I am now going to work more on CPA offers from ClickBooth, COPEAC, etc. But it probably will take some time before I can bring it up to Clickbank's level of income.

I have to admit these threads are scaring me a little. I've seen my clickbank sales go down some but I also haven't been promoting as heavily as I did a few months back.

All your sales are dropping because the commissions are going into my account! I don't know what you are talking about but my sales have skyrocketed insanely since Jan 09 and I have done nothing new.

This is indeed worrying. But my experience from using Clickbank as a vendor has been good. At least I see that all the sales are made through my affiliates' hoplinks. But to be fair, I am not exactly sure if the tracking id is giving problems to the affiliates.

What about the rest? Are you going through the same thing?

Clickbank has to remain in business as well and it won't be in business if it starts robbing all it's affiliates. The fact remains that they really aren't robbing anyone. I am an affiliate myself and I am promoting about 20 clickbank products all together.

I see almost no sales in some niches while increased sales in others. Yes there are bad days and then there are great days.

And technically speaking clickbank can't really rob anyone's money. It's a payment processor which gets a share from each sale but the sale doesn't get credited to clickbank. It gets credited to the publisher and the affiliate.

So either way clickbank can't really steal anything from you.

There are only two possibilities in life- Results or Reasons...If you aren't getting the desired results then adapt because giving reasons to why you could not get the desired results will take one no where.

There have been many discussions on this topic. Does anyone know exactly what is going on over at Clickbank. What about vendors? Can you speak up as well? I guess vendors will be in the position to tell since they are able to track the hops and all.

It's Clickbank. I've been experiencing the most unnatural things. How the hell do you go from a great week, a new pay period starts and you get 7 straight zeros. I mean 7 STRAIGHT ZEROS. It's not like they randomly started. They started right when the pay period changes. I complain at the end of the week and magically it starts working again.

Clickbank is doing something on their side. I don't know what it is, but nothing will ever convince me otherwise.

My sales went dead for 6 days straight as well. Now I have at least made some sales for the last 5 days in a row. I think the end of the month leaves people short on money.

To clarify, I fully understand that there are bad days as well as good days. As I am spread over 20 niches, I can presumably say that I have got a good sample size to know what is happening.

If they are all in the same niche and a dive happens, I have reasons to point that to a fixed set of parameters that have changed. But if those niches are completely different, then it seems strange for all conversion rates to drop simultaneously! So, I can quite confidently rule out that either my website or vendor's site has gone bad.

And since I own multiple CB accounts, I find it equally mysterious to see some of my accounts see spikes in sales.

So, if you ask me, something strange is going on.

I had the same problem in the last few days! I do advertising on facebook, I had 574 clicks in less then 2 days for one products and only one sale, now really I don't know what happen, but I never had something like that before. I do think there is somenthing wrong with clickbank guys!!
