Are Your Clickbank Sales Dragging? (possibly why)
I also received some emails from people stating that they tried to get to the order page but could not. This is odd, as 90% of people would just leave so if I'm getting some emails then it must be happening to a lot of people.
I tried going through the process myself and everything seemed to work...but still sales/conversions were very low.
So I looked on CB's page here: ClickBank System Status
They suggest pinging their 4 paylink IPs if you are having problems to see if they respond. The 4 are as follows:
# 209.81.12.134
# 209.81.12.135
# 64.128.87.134
# 64.128.87.135
For me, I can load the two beginning with 64 but the two beginning with 209 do not load for me.
I tried doing a couple of traceroutes using a few different services and there is definitely a problem somewhere.

I THINK this might explain why sales for me have been so odd these last few days.
Is anyone else seeing weird sales numbers?
I have sent this info to my CB rep, but they won't see it until Monday. I'm not sure if there is someone there over the weekend that would be able to look into this.
It may be that people in certain parts of the world get through just fine while others may not.
Please don't freak out and claim the sky is falling...there is definitely something wrong with these traceroutes but I can't confirm that CB is using them currently but this, along with my own stats, suggest something is out of the ordinary.
