Is CB for real?

I can't get this - I've got 500+ hops and not 1 sale. Hops are from different ways of sources - seo, review site, list, ...

Is CB doing something or is it just my bad?

    To check wether you are getting any sales from those clicks at all - I suggest you do a test.

    Pick any one at random and buy it through a different email addy and pay for it.

    If you get the credit for it - good, if not you have a legitimate complaint with CB.

    You can always refund the purchase later.

    Normally it is just 'your bad'.

    However try making a new account and switching over the affiliate id's on the hoplink. Then see if they convert better as often there are 'technical difficulties' with the system (i.e. they steal your commissions).

    Otherwise your pre-sell or product selection is wrong.

      I don't believe this for a second. I know there's been rumors going to this affect, however I don't belive that having only one or two CB accounts one can have enough data to conclude anything. One CB account is not an indication of the overall picture. There is simply no nearly enough data to rely upon. You would have to have multiple affiliate accounts, selling multiple products in various niches to allege something like this.

        I have proven this and actually had an older account that was getting 1000's of hops and no sales for ages and ages and so i brought from my own link 3 times and each time i was not credited for the transaction so setup a new account and did the same and bang i had the commission immediately.

        Jeremy Kelsell/Karsell (sp) also experienced the same problems and actually introduced me to the problem to which i then confronted clickbank and they refused to admit anything (they even have a law suite against them for this 'error').

    How is it different from your previous stats? It's impossible to conclude anything without seeing what you had before.

    Are you promoting the same products as before? How long have your sales been down like this? If it's only one day, it is not an indicator of anything. If you used to make lots of sales daily on different products and suddenly nothing for a long time, then you can start investigating. Otherwise you shouldn't worry if this is only one day. Also, if this is a brand new product you are promoting you would have no previous track record to compare with

      First thank you all for answering...

      I've got 500+ hops in the last 30 days - no sales. And yes, I only have one account at CB. It's puzzling and frustrating...

    This thread would further give you some mixed opinions.

    You must be using Google adwords for search engines.

    Don't use it.

    Use Google adwords for Google content network.
    Jaideep, is there special reason for giving this advice. Imean, whats the advantage offered by the content network over those appearing on the search engine results.

    Coming to the original issue, It's impossible to give any advice without you providing some history as to the conversions before all this mayhem. Switching Cb accounts is a nice strategy but it must be done once every month until the results are stabilized somewhat.
