What is the better sales page URL for my ClickBank product?

Hi all
I'm totally confused

and would really appreciate your advice.
After several months hard work, my new ClickBank site recently went live.
My original sale page URL was ebookselfpublishingsecrets/work-from-home-home-freedom. I attracted around 70 affiliates and made some sales.
Thinking it might be best for organic search (I should stay away from Keyword Planner), I then changed the sales page URL to ebookselfpublishingsecrets/how-to-publish-an-ebook.
I did it in a way with the ClickBank settings I thought wouldn't affect the marketing efforts of my affiliates. But no sales since.
My 2 questions are: did I hurt my affiliates' efforts (has anyone else changed their pitch page URL?), and which would serve my affiliates and me best in the long run -"work-from-home-freedom" OR "how-to-publish-an-ebook"?
It's still early days and I want to get this right, even if I have to change it back to "work-from-home-freedom"

Many thanks in advance for your opinions and help!
Kaz

1. In my experience, changing the URL after the sales begin, is a risky business. A better approach might be to keep the original in tact and ad a second page with the new URL. Send traffic to both and see which one performs better. Run a search for 'split testing'.

2. "work-from-home-freedom" seems to appeal to a much larger audience.

"how-to-publish-an-ebook" is pretty specific and seems to be targeting newbies

I hope this helps!

Thanks

It's not a good thing to do, in principle, especially on ClickBank, where (unless you've elected to white-list all affiliates right from the start, which almost nobody does?) you don't even have a reliable way of contacting all your affiliates to let them know what's going on.

I'd have to know details, to comment on that. Did your affiliates' hoplinks still work?

(I admit I'd be shocked and dismayed if the vendor did something that prevented my hoplinks from working, or prevented my affiliate cookies from being stored on my subscribers' computers, and would drop that product and vendor like a stone, and would complain to ClickBank about it, too ).

Sounds like it, perhaps, if all the sales suddenly evaporated?

I have no idea.

I expect the vendor to have split-tested that and worked it out before taking on affiliates.

(I apologize if I sound unsympathetic - that wasn't actually my intention in posting! ).
