Here's A Good Way To Hold Clickbank Accountable....

I had to chime in on this....It seems that periodically I see the Clickbank posts either stating that its unreliable or sales have gone down.

I too have seen sales go down but I think the real explanation is the overall economic mood of the general public, whether it be online or offline.

Still, if you still feel that Clickbank is shaving sales, try this out.....

In your autoresponder or webpage, offer your readers an enticing bonus if they order through your clickbank affiliate link. And, set it up so that the only way they will get your bonus is if they email you with their clickbank receipt number after they purchase through your link. State in your offer that "All bonus materials/packages/ebooks will be e-mailed within 24 hours of purchase".

Yes, they are not getting the bonuses automatically and you have to go through the extra steps of checking emails and emailing them the bonuses....BUT, think of the twofold benefit:

1) Your sales will be considerably more than before when you did not use bonuses

2) You know have a third party verification system for all of your Clickbank sales! You can easily match every email with your clickbank sales. And, if you are getting emails from buyers but no sales on clickbank, then you can use their information (email address, clickbank receipt,etc.) to follow up with Clickbank with regards to the discrepancy!

I've not had a problem so either I've been lucky or maybe I need to experience an even higher volume of sales before these alleged shavings in sales occur.

BOTTOM LINE - Use bonuses in your affiliate sales - They work!
