What's up guys..

So I started an international campaign yesterday and I think I hit my demographic well. I am selling a clickbank product, I listed the price in the ad, and I'm still getting a .55% to .6% CTR on facebook. My suggested bids started at .15 and now are at .02.

Facebook says I have 230 clicks.
Clickbank is reporting 0 clicks for the same timeframe.

Typically CB reporting hasn't been delayed for me. I'm using the encrypted hoplink for CB with a Tid explaining my demo/country on the end.

I am direct linking, so all clicks should be making it.

Who is the best to go after here, FB or CB?
 


Well, usually it's your fault, so start by testing your links.
Look what clicks did you receive, maybe you got hit by a clickbot ?
Wait a little more for stats to update.
Use P202 and look in Spy what clicks do you receive, always.
 
I agree things are usually my fault... I did test the link in preview and it works.

I didnt setup P202 for this I just used the TID, so maybe I'll switch it over.... hopefully its just delayed stats. Using a voucher so its not a huge deal.
 
flight - check your link again by clicking it and then hitting the order button on the sales page. On the bottom of the page where the buyer enters his or her information is a line that says affiliate =[xyz]. make sure your affiliate id is what is showing up there.

As a further word of caution, Clickbank does and will steal your commissions. I've gone from consistent day after day, week after week sales to no sales for a whole week. It's happened plenty of times to me. Plus Clickbank sucks, why are your promoting them on FB? Get on some decent CPA networks.
 
prodigy... thanks for the info. I am part of lots of CPA networks. This campaign worked on google a bit and thought I'd give it a try on FB. Thanks again.
 
Double check to see if ClickBank allows traffic from that country to the particular offer. Use a free proxy (hidemyass.com) to verify international clicks are making it through and tracking. Most affiliate networks will redirect out traffic from countries the offer does not accept.
 
I've had and still have clicks "dissappear" on clickbank campaigns, but never so much and all at the very beginning of running it... as said above, make sure your link is tracking.... set up P202 or T202.... and I would make sure the advertiser's site is still up. Sometimes you'll push traffic to a dead offer without knowing it.
