Is This True About Clickbank Gravity.

yes that is right.. gravity is based on the number of affiliate's who have made one or more sales in the past 30 days

Peace

Jay

not sure,but it does change the picture dramatically.....

Hey

The gravity is true and it depend on No. of affilate and I think it is true

This is how Clickbank gravity works.

If a product has 150 gravity, that means 150 affiliates have made at least one sale for that product in the last 8 months.

Even if the same affiliate make thousands of sales, he/she still adds only 1 point to the gravity.

The gravity raises only if unique affiliates start making sales.

From everything I understand the gravity is the number of affiliates who have made sales in the last 30 days. Just like Jay said. Even though it does change the picture, from 150 sales to 150 people, it does so in a good way, right? I think so. That means that 150 people have been somewhat successful selling this product.

Additionally, I think it is interesting to know what each of the things means.

$/sale: $33.94 | Future $: - | Total $/sale: $33.94 | %/sale: 75.0% | %refd: 89.0% | grav: 7.78

for instance $/sale is what you earn per sale, but Total $/sale is how much the regular affiliate makes per sale, so if the total/sale is less than the $/sale then it shows there are some refunds. On top of that the %refd means the percentage of sales that come from affiliates. You might already know all of this, but in the off chance you don't I thought these things were interesting too.

So if it's strictly one point per affiliate, per 30 days, how can there decimal points on the gravity rating? Some half-assed affiliates?

Seems like there's got to be something else to the equation. Or maybe I missed something that has already been said?

Oh yeah, guess I coulda just looked at the site...

Thanks Hamida for posting, that clears it up for me!

That would be correct Carlton. Which is also why gravity is always misinterpreted.

There could be 3 affiliates making 500 sales each per month and the gravity number won't go beyond 3.

Hence, gravity, as I see it only measures the number of affiliates who have made a succesful sale. Or in other words, the number of affiliate competition. Those products that have 500 or so gravity means only that they have at least 500 affiliates who have made a succesful sale.

People keep on saying, if it has low gravity it sucks! Well that is quite far from true. You could have 5 people selling 100 copies each per month, which would mean the product sells 500 copies a month and the gravity would be around 5 or less.

You could have 50 affiliates who sold 1 copy each in a month, which means the product only sold 50 copies that month. And the gravity would be around 50. Now which one is more profitable? Obviously the one with 5 gravity.

Sometimes high gravity products use affiliate link rotators, which rotate affiliate links for different accounts simply to raise the gravity of a product.

Thanks, I needed that!

Gravity is total nonsense,

i can tell you why...

1) The uttermost **** can rank extremely high in gravity, so gravity does in no way stand for "Quality" of a product.

2) New and good products can have low gravity, giving the impression those products are bad or wont sell.

In fact i prefer picking "gems" from new and low gravity products, the reason is that they are unsaturated on PPC and elsewhere and easier to market than...say, Affiliate Elite or whatever "big" names where everyone and their mama promotes them already.

The gravity means the amount of affiliates, however, I believe it is within a 6 week period. That point can be between a scale of .01 to 1 point. Clickbank does not clarify the exact formula for getting to this amount.
