I see from last week of July until now, Clickbank sales decrease a lot . With the same traffic , but sale decrease more than 50 %

Any problem with Clickbank tracking?

  • No problem that I have heard of. Although in one account today I noticed some stats showing on the dashboard that were not on the transactions page. I've noticed there is a delay some times, but this was a several hour delay. They could be doing updates, but your issue is much too long.

    Seems like affiliates/vendors are quick to jump to ClickBank as the one with the issue when sales are slow. However, it's always an issue with your site, the traffic, seasonal, your niche, etc. etc. etc. I would check other things than ClickBank as they're about as reliable as you can get in this business.

    • Even though I trust in Clickbank, but feel something wrong in Sale tracking, because I see many people get this trouble
  • Hi Fienatran,

    I'm sorry to hear your sales are down by 50%. Wow, that's a lot!

    Everything seems to be about the same for me except from time to time when a sale is made it shows up in transactions a lot sooner than it does on my homepage.

    I wish you all the best and hope that your sales pick up.

  • You will always see fluctuations in your affiliate sales, just give it some time/ride it out until the next upward swing.

    We won't see you complaining then.
  • I am also seeing a huge decrease in the sales volume,same traffic,same source of traffic,no sales! I heard something about cb testing order forms..anyone know something about this?

  • There are always fluctuations and I think weekends can be better but only Alexa Smith can confirm you this. I don't know how affiliate sales on clickbank are supposed to be or fluctuate.
  • It's also summer time, where I always see drops in sales

    • This is exactly what i was going to say.

      @OP: I am in Clickbank from the last 4years and i also see sales drops in August and September months.

    • Yup, huge drop in sales here as well.
      I do see something that others do not (as a vendor)
      which is a big decrease in order form submits vs actual sales.
      Anyone ever checked the ratio on a regular basis?

      The percentage fluctuates and at times that the sales are down
      there is usually a drop in the Sales Vs Submits ratio.
      For example, today this ratio is around 24%
      I.E for every 4 order form submits there is one sale!
      the usual number fluctuates between 40-50%.
      I also see a vast difference in this ratio as an affiliate to different products.
      Some products have a 80-90% ratio while others may have 40% or even lower.

      At times when my sales are down i always check to see if the ratio has changed.

      Order form submit (now named "order form server calls")= customer input their details in the order form and hit the submit button.

      P.S
      Regardless, summer is good for family and friends but usually very crappy for marketers
  • My Clickbank earning always fluctuates typically as the seasons change. Check to see if your order form click percent is the same. If so your okay.... It may be a traffic problem.
  • I also got huge decrease in hops and sales..
    But i managed to pull things back where they were before..
    Using floating banners, they are doing great
