Anyone else notice a significant drop in Clickbank Affiliate Earnings This Week?

I'm wondering if Clickbank is acting up again (in terms of affiliate tracking)

Or is it just me?

By Significant I meant a 60-75% drop in earnings compared to previous weeks. I checked with a friend and she mentioned it happened to her too...

Nope.

ClickBank doesn't 'act up' usually that I know of. It's possible they would have some downtime, but they've been doing this for 15 years, so anything like that would be extremely rare.

I would look at other reasons for your fluctuation in sales and unless it's higher volume it could be perfectly normal.

Same issue with Amazon sales -- just a seasonal correlation...after Christmas people spend less.

Wait till those income tax checks come rolling in

  this! - but I also think it really depends on the niche you are in - I am willing to bet that the weight-loss niche is booming right now on Clickbank or elsewhere, for example.

If I only had a nickel everytime someone took out a thread, when their clickbank earnings drop

Could be a range of reasons, like weather, serp change, product losing momentum etc...

My sales went up this month, so not Clickbank to blame. I have questioned it before but then discovered that my pages were slipping from page one of Google.
