ClickBank Order Submits Vs Sales

5 replies
Hi. I'm curious if anyone else notices periods on CB when you get more order submits that don't result in sales. I'm in a period like that right now.

    It seems to go in fits and starts.

    One doesn't hear much about it for months and months and months, and then (for instance December 2010/January 2011) suddenly there'll be 15 new threads all started off within 2 or 3 weeks, in which a large number of people have all very recently had 25 or 30 order-form submissions without a single sale. Which is - of course - a clear sign that "all is not well inside Clickbank's machinery".

    But what tends to happen is that these conversations are then enjoined by many people who either haven't quite appreciated the difference between order-form impressions and order-form submissions (and therefore start suggesting all sorts of entirely irrelevant and inappropriate causes/explanations of the problem), or just don't like anyone alleging that Clickbank intermittently has dramatic processing problems, and will accept nothing without "video evidence" (I'm not kidding - people have seriously requested video evidence of such problems before believing them), so such conversations can become difficult and frustrating.

    Someone posted about this, about a week ago, anyway.

    Are you having problems at the moment? Over statistically significant figures?

      Well, I'm probably not going to provide video evidence but I've definitely noticed a drop over the weekend and today. This does correspond with very significantly delayed stats and I've noticed my orderform conversions seem to go down whenever this happens. This is across all niches which are quite disparate.

    Hey,

    I've noticed that recently too.

    I didn't even know this was possible, considering that it had never happened to me before.

    I don't know why it's happening, but it's something I was wondering about too. In the past it hasn't happened to me...

      Are you noticing a very significant delay in stats as well? When it has happened to me in the past, it is always in association with a delay in the stats... and what's weird now is it is showing a few more sales in the detailed stats (although still way off on orderform conversions) but they're not showing up as actual sales!!

    Hi. I wanted to resurrect this thread because after a period of "normal sales" I'm now seeing this again - lots of order form submits that don't make it to a sale. Anyone else seeing this in the last week or so?
