Odd Clickbank Issue - Very Low Order Form Sales Conversions Since Jan 9

4 replies
Hey All,

Not sure what's going, but ever since Jan 9 my clickbank conversions have plummeted. Curious if anyone else has felt this or has insight into or might know what's going on.

Basically, my Clickbank "Order Form Sales Conversions" have dropped from 12% to 2% since the 9th. I am getting normal amounts of hops and normal amounts of Order Form Impression Counts. Everything looks normal, EXCEPT the Order Form Server Calls are not happening anymore. It's like my traffic falls off a cliff when they get to the order forms lately.

This is happening for different vendors and different traffic sources. My traffic is keyword targeted and all go through a pre-sell page so it normally converts pretty well.

Some odd things have been happening lately too.

1. One day I made several sales with 0 Order Form Server Calls,
2. Other days I get light traffic for other products I don't promote
3. One day I got several hundred hops for a product I never promoted and actually made a couple sales,
4. There are fleeting pockets of time (about 1-2 times a week several hours a piece) when conversions returns to normal.

I have several times gone to the order form and clicked submit and seen the counts update in clickbank analytics. I even made a purchase of the product and everything went through and analytics reflected this fine. It's the oddest thing.

Anyone have any ideas????

I half suspected Clickbank Hijacking for a time, but it doesn't make sense if this is happening with multiple vendors, multiple traffic sources, multiple devices, affecting 98% of the hops.

    I just heard from one of my friend and he told me that the same happened with him. I don't know what he did later on. But he just called me and discussed about this issue.

    If you hear how he might have resolved it, please let me know!

    In the mean time, I'm going to switch to a new 2nd CB account. Fingers crossed.

    Quite honestly since this has only been an issue for only a little over 2 weeks you have to take it with a grain of salt. Not unless this is a continuous trend for 45-60+ then you should be curious but not too alarmed.

    I've had sales conversions fluctuate from sales period to sales peroid, however overall whether it be a course of 30 days or 60 it still maintained its consistent overall average

    I've been having this issue for months.

    CB response, "Maybe they became active somehow."

    Products that no longer exist that I only promoted on sites that no longer exist???

    I send very little traffic to CB anymore. Their analytics have been worthless for quite some time.
