ClickBank Refund Rate

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

One of the most frustrating things when promoting ClickBank products is a Refund of a product. But, you can predetermine a ClickBank Refund Rate for products before you promote them.

Just go to CBGraph.com. Open stats for a product you are interested in. And click on the “Items + Refunds” report:

Let’s look on this example (for MSNCODE):

This vendor has only one item: 1.
You can see its description, payment type, price, earnings and ClickBank refund rate = 0.4%.
This rate means that about 0.4 customers from 100 are asking for the refund (it’s about 4 people from 1000).

But if a vendor has many items (different products, one time offers, discounted items and so on), a column Refund rate will probably have improper value (negative or huge). In this situation it’s impossible to calculate the rate.

However, don’t frustrate:

1. Quite often a vendor per se uses only one item. Go to the sales page and try to find different order options such as upsales, discounts, etc. If there is only one price (for one product), look for it in the “Item + Refunds” report. Refund rate near it will most likely be the actual refund rate.

2. If there are lots of items you can find some discounts. For example take a look on the product 0814975505:

7th item is a 50% discounted ebook!

And there are lots of such discounts for ClickBank products. Just imagine how it’s easier to promote a product with a smaller price! There is a trick. You can actually forward a customer to buy the specified item. Very likely you already know about this trick, however we will describe it soon, stay tuned :)

ClickBank Jumpers

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Last time we wrote about ClickBank Movers and Shakers. But there is one annoying situation…

Imagine that a product has been just launched and it’s already showing a great performance. Accordingly to the Movers and Shakers you need to wait 7 days to notice the rank difference.

So, what to do to find those explosive products? We developed an algorithm that is based (in almost every case) only on 2 marketplace states: today and yesterday. Algo is watching for radical changes between those states. And the name of this invention is ClickBank Jumpers.

Below you can see gravity graphs of some previous ClickBank Jumpers. Arrows are showing points where you could pick those products to promote:

The One-Minute Cure: The Secret To Healing Virtually All Diseases


Wotlk Secrets


The Ultimate Search Engine Loophole


Forex Software Automatically Advices You When To Trade


Project Archimedes


Google Ambush


Will all jumpers grow up? Answer is definitely NO. But there are huge chances that a lot of them will continue to rise.

As an example Earth 4 Energy. It was detected by CBGraph on July, 13 2008, when its gravity was only 10,77!

It’s always a good idea to subscribe to publishers’ newsletter whose products were previously detected as the ClickBank Jumpers. You’ll receive many notifications in the future about releases of their new products. Another good idea is to check publishers’ products and promote only good ones to people :)
