Clickbank Vendor Lying About Affiliate Earnings
Just wanted to give everyone who works with CB in an affiliate capacity: Clickbank vendors may be lying to you about the earnings of other affiliates in order to get you to promote for them, and CB is (at least now) aware of this. (Proof below)
Here's how I discovered this: Under the "Parenting" category on Clickbank, the #1 product is called Pregnancy Miracle. This is their marketplace listing:

As you can see, it says "Top Affiliate Makes $9700+ Daily!"
Seems like a lot of money, even with media buys and PPC, so I was skeptical.
But since I'm in always interested in promoting great offers, I simply contacted Clickbank to ask if that figure was in fact true...
And Clickbank's Client Services responded saying those advertised affiliate earnings figures are not true. The exact wording was "It appears that the vendor's Marketplace Description may not be accurate. We will contact the vendor to correct this information."
Here is my support ticket (my email, ticket #, and Client Adviser's name blacked out for security):

So they ARE aware of this vendor's inflated earning claims to affiliates (at least they are now, if they weren't already).
Out of curiosity, I had a look at the Pregnancy Miracle vendor's company to see if they had any other offers and if these ones made outrageous earnings claims too...
Sure enough, this company (Higher Ways Publishing) has a BUNCH of other products on CB and they ALL have (no doubt false) outrageous earnings claims.
Here are a few with their affiliate earnings claims underlined:






And it goes on and on and on... every one of their programs has HUGE earnings claims.
I'll be contacting CB Client Services again tomorrow to show them all of this and see what they say, and I would encourage any of you who work with CB as an affiliate to contact client services and ask them to verify if the vendor's wild earnings claims are true (as you saw above a CB rep already confirms the affiliate earnings are false for Pregnancy Miracle)
Not only is it illegal to make false monetary claims like this company is doing (ask the FTC), but it puts affiliates at a disadvantage because there may be better-converting offers to promote, but the huge money claims this vendor is claiming may lead you to promote for them instead.
If you want to ask CB what they have to say or help make them aware of this, you can start a support ticket here: https://support.clickbank.com/anonymous_requests/new
I hope this helps at least a few of you choose to promote for reputable vendors who don't lie to you to try to get your traffic.
