Hi Guys,

My CB HOPs have dropped these days (it started since last week or maybe 2 weeks ago). I am promoting CB products via youtube.
Just wanted to see if you have experienced such thing? Do you know what's the reason?

Thanks

    It's the holiday season. People aren"t buying as much through the end of the year

      Thanks for your input marketingva,

      I am wondering why my sells dropped since 2 last weeks! I see the HOP's coming but no sell at all!! Do you know when the people will comeback with buy orientations?

      Thanks

    Mine dropped twice in the last month. There were no clicks for 7+ days, so I went on to see what's happening.

    After clicking on the affliate link myself, hops returned. I did one more time because the clicks stopped once again. The next day, clicks were back to normal.

    I don't have explanation for this. It could well be a coincidence and not CB's fault...

          If you choose a vendor whose site doesn't give away a freebie for an email address, you don't help them build a list.

            Correct.

            You should always look if the CB vendor is collecting emails from their sales page. It is 1 of the first things I check for, along with gravity not being too low or too high, and other factors.

    hi Wizard12...i also begin to promoting CB product. I upload some videos, i got about 50 hops but i got nothing, 0 sales. Probably because my video targeted "general keyword" not not "buying keywords". I know that because i also promoted JVzoo product that i targeted buying KW [product or product+review] and sometimes i got 2 sales for only 5 clicks. My methode is the same with promote CB product [ via youtube]. I am newbie,if you dont mind maybe we can learn together .Thanks.

      I've noticed the same... since right around Thanksgiving. I looked back to my earnings a year ago at this time and everything was good... probably one of the most profitable times I had.

      This year... not so good. Conversions are at about 6%, about 380 hops per order when October was 133 per order... earnings per hop were about .20 per hop and now down to .05 per hop... traffic is the same...

      I experienced all the same as the op... no sales for days and then suddenly one or two trickled in then blank for a few more days.

      I'm no blaming CB but there must be a reason and, honestly, it all couldn't come at a worse time.

        Thanks for your input Bretski,

        It is really strange, isn't it?
        I just Know I have 9 videos (4 are new and launched one or 2 weeks ago),
        I just had ONE sell since the first day of October I have had just ONE sell (ie I just earned 20$ in 17 days which is very bad!!!!).
        Do you know what's wrong? sometimes my brain kicks me and causes me to think that there is a problem with CB itself!
        May I ask you please how do you promote your CB products? Article marketing or....?

    but the hops of my cb account haven't dropped, maybe it due to most of the traffic is from mobile.

      I am sorry for that Shane,
      Do you know what's wrong? And if you don't mind please let me know the way you promote the CB products.

      Thanks

      Things haven't improved for me. Same amount of traffic but things look pretty dismal and it's been this way for 3 weeks now.

        I had my best week ever last week on CB, but as we are getting closer to xmas I'm noticing conversions lowering. Yes the traffic is still there, but I think people are holding on to their cash to buy xmas gifts.

        However, a lot of people receive cash as xmas gifts so maybe around 27th Dec things will spike up.

        If people have seen your CB offer and not bought, they may have bookmarked it and are waiting till after xmas to buy.

        Only time will tell......

          Thanks 4q,

          Good points, I am agreed with you,

          Why you think people welcomed your products while Xmas in on the way and as you told they prefer to save their cash for the gifts?

            I'm certainly no expert and its always tricky to predict buyer trends, however I just think that as now xmas is almost on our doorsteps its made people just be that little bit more careful with their money.

            I'm expecting things to slow up to the 26th Dec and after we'll see.

            Don't worry about probs with CB or your affiliate links, thats just paranoia which sometimes we all feel when things slump a little.

        Thanks for your input,

        Today I had one sell and earned 45$. It's good for me because now at least I am sure that the problem is not from CB or my affiliate links.

    I'm pushing hard on JVZoo and Amazon now because sales on CB dropped significantly from about 5k month to a couple of hundreds, I thought I was the only one and that my links where somehow wrong...

      I'm also looking into other affiliate programs that I had on the back burner since Clickbank has been my bread and butter for a while. I had a vendor do a change to their sales funnel and domain so that also might be the reason why things have changed for me. I changed all my hoplinks to direct to the new vendor domain and account but sales have almost completely dried up.
