Clickbank or Vendor scamming ??

Hello,

For the last 10-15 days I haven't got any sale from my clickbank affiliated website although the traffic has been even bigger! So I checked the stats a bit, and this is what I saw. According to pretty link lite, my link has been clicked 800 times during 15 days, I know there are bots etc, but still, clickbank analytics shows only ~13click per day!

FURTHERMORE, when I click to my affiliate link I simply go to vendorproductsite.com and that's all. No ?hop=username at all! Am I being scammed or what? Should I contact the clickbank or vendor? I have tried chaning the hoplinks etc, but still no ?hop=username, even when I'm purchasing the product..

I'm pretty pissed since I wanted to sell this site for some good money on flippa, but now I just can't do it, because I can't find any alternative products for my site since it's VERY specific niche...

    Simply go to the Clickbank checkout page. Do you see your affiliate id at the bottom? If your affiliate ID is john123, you'll see [john123] at the bottom of the order form. If its there, you'll get your commissions.

    The "?hop=username" does not signify anything since a lot of hoplinks simply redirect to make the url look cleaner.

      The problem IS I can't see my ID even when I checkout...

    You sure you aren't looking at a user error? Contact both vendor and Clickbank itself and try to figure out what is going on before you start slinging accusations around. It's a foolproof way to prevent egg on your face in the near future.

      I have had this happen to me in 2 ways. One I put the link, very easy to put a link right, but for some reason it would take my link, then I would test the link and nothing. I believe I did something different than just pushing the link button at the top to make it work as that was producing no results using that button so I put the link in manually then it worked.

      Secondly, some times the programs you are offering does something in there system and will not show up your hop link. Two things to look for but try the first one and if that doesn't work move on to another program. Also, before you do any advertising make sure your links are working.

      Clickbank will not scam, it is something on the vendors end. Or maybe you only got 13 clicks. What is the link I will click it for you and you can check the stats yourself to see if it works.
