So I just stopped over at the Warrior Forum and noticed about a gazillion threads talking about clickbank’s affiliate tracking system not working. I checked my own links, and for a couple of products I have been promoting (I have tons of niche sites that promote products on clickbank), the affiliate ID isn’t being passed through.

When people started talking about how clickbank was having tracking problems and sales were declining, I just ignored it — but now I have no doubts that something fishy is going on. Clickbank has always been a great company to deal with for me so I really hope they can sort this out.

If you promote clickbank products as an affiliate, check your affiliate links now.

Ohh, that’s going to cost a lot of people a lot of money.
The only problem I have with Clickbank is that I signed up for an account, did a bit of affiliate marketing and made a few sales. Then I stopped affiliate marketing and after a few months of my account being inactive they charge me $5 a month for not making any sales because I’m not doing any affiliate marketing :(

I never got charged because I never used it….stories like this started abounding years ago.

Wow, I had not heard of that happening Simon. That’s pretty unfortunate. I have a product on clickbank, and promote a few (though not really actively doing that at the moment). Hate to see things like this happen, but they definitely need to get it figured out soon.
