Do the companies that sell products using affiliates fake sells at the beggining, when one starts promoting their products? I had a few sells and it has gradually gone down even though I'm having more traffic and clicks? What are the chances of that being the case?

thanks!

    I actually thought this myself.

    I normally don't promote clickbank products, but I have an authority site doing well in Google. I put up a newly released product for 1 week, got no sales after sending about 100 people over so I just decided to go back to adsense. 3 days later, in Clickbank, it shows one sale of the product.

    I was saying to myself "God bless you, cookie." But after that, I put the product back up for a month and not 1 sale after sending hundreds of people over.
    Got me thinking exactly that.

      Yes I do have similar feeling about Clickbank which did not work well for me, I then converted my traffic to amazon, it really works well comparatively to Clickbank.

      I would suggest you to go for Amazon or Adsense.

    Well on the other hand if anyone decides to test if sales work these companies would get busted no?

    I've thought this exact same thing, but I agree with eduguate, this would get caught. If someone tried testing their sales and it didn't register, there would be hell to pay at the hands of thousands of affiliates

      Then again.... who would risk "testing" their sales?
