Anyone else get this e-mail from Clickbank and also find it highly insulting? They sent out a mass e-mail to show how great they are? I am absolutely appalled to be honest.

    I didn't get the email you are refering to but I'm curious about what was in it.

    As I understand it Clickbank have had some big changes in the past year or two, maybe they are just trying some new communication styles. Or perhaps they're just proud and wants to brag a bit, who knows.

      So did I. Massive refund rates along with ridiculous policies. I talk to a lot of IMers in the eCommerce/MMO/online biz niche and most consider them to be a joke.

      And who the hell brags that they are in the "top 100" of anything? I can see maybe if you get into the top 10 or even top 20, but top 100? BIG DEAL!

    Basically said "Look at us, we're top 100 now in Internet Retailer Magazine! Thanks for your help!". And that was that.

      Oh, haha.
      A bit self-congratulatory but whatever, no use getting upset about bragging.
      If I just got an arbitrary gold-star sticker I'd be happy about it too.

      It's a marketing message. Kinda what we all do. Go make money and ignore.

    Didn't seem insulting to me, but the subject did seem to set different expectations as if it was something personal about the reader and not about them.

    This made me chuckle, haha. Indeed.

    Yeah that's the reason I posted this. I honestly thought perhaps I got into a top 100 something somewhere, only to find out it was them. Very misleading headline.

    To be fair, most companies do this as a form of PR. I've received emails from a lot of companies touting this or that. They're not going to send an email saying, "Hey, look how shitty we are!"

    Unfortunately there are much worse practices online than that...

    When I first read it, I thought it said I was their 87th best vendor on ClickBank, I'm like that's not too bad I guess for only being on their platform for 3 months.

    I have a love/hate relationship with Clickbank

    As a product creator you can attract a lot of affiliates on there

    But some of their policies are quite frustrating

    More like the tall poppy syndrome if you asked me , we in Australia are told at an early age to have a go at anything that is successful , and this thread kinda proves that, imagine if this email you received had we are going to give some of the loot since we made the top 100 ?? you would be praising them
