How's Your Refund Rate on Clickbank?

Hi warriors,

I recently noticed that the Clickbank products' refund rates are generally very high (most are above 50%).

So, I'm just wondering if this occurs to your products on Clickbank too? :confused:

    50%?

    What type of products are you selling?

    I have promoted and sell products through clickbank have heard
    of nothing even close to that.

      I'm going to hazard a guess that you are looking at the
      "%refd" field in the ClickBank Marketplace.

      This actually stands for "%Referred" which is
      'the fraction of vendor's total sales that are referred by affiliates'

        Which products are you talking about? I've promoted nearly 50 different products since I started using CB and I don't think I've ever had a refund rate over 20% (and that was back in my newbie days when I couldn't tell a good product from a bad one). I think my highest at the moment is only 5%.

        As far as I can see the only products that might have a refund rate that high are slightly questionable products such as paid surveys, satellite TV etc. Even then I doubt their refund rates are anything close to 50%.

          I think i'll just echo what Harvey and Hamida have said above.

          It sounds like you are looking at the referred %, as in the number of affiliates promoting that product.

          As mentioned refunds really do depend what type of product you are promoting. Yes i agree with many others, there are some absolute stinkers at CB, but there are also some absolute gems.

          I approach picking an affiliate product, the exact same way i would go about promoting it. If the vendors "landing page" is full of cliches, hype and appears as though it is just trying to sell you something, i steer clear.

          If the page comes across as informational, interesting and looks clean and is fairly free of hype, then that is something i may be interested in.

          I think as Hamida has pointed out, some of the surveys, Satellite TV and many of the financial based products, merely have vendors trying to poach a sale of a poor quality product.

          Cheers
