Really weird numbers?!?! Sudden drop in sales.
I have a problem that I just can't figure out. My sales has suddenly dropped a lot with no explanation. For a month or two I sold a very stable average of 2 books a day from my site. But the something happened.
From the 9th of august when I got access to clickbank and till the 27th I had on average 2-3 sales a day.
Then from the the 28th of august till the 13th of september I had on average 1 sale a day.
And then from the 13th and till today I'm just less than half a sale a day on average.
In clickbank it looks like this:
2010-09-29 (current week) $0.00
2010-09-22 $43.20
2010-09-15 $76.90
2010-09-08 $158.51
2010-09-01 $318.61
The thing is that the number of visitors is stable over this period and I have excactly the same amount of optins to my free newsletter (on average 4 optins a day which has been constant over 3 months).
Also I haven't changed anything on the site during this period except for adding a google analytics script on the 10th of september. But still it almost looks like the whole payment system was wrecked or something. Or that clickbank suddenly stopped taking certain types of creditcards or something similar. However no such thing happened either. I did of course try clearing my browser and buy the book myself with no trouble and in 2 different browsers.
Any suggestions as to why the sales suddenly dropped off so fast?
Thanks a bunch in advantage. Really looking forward to solving this :S
