Some days are better than others... But when I get down, I think about the 3 day period in late Dec where I cleared $6k profit via PPC, and it perks me right up... so keep your chin up and keep plugging! Hey Mary,

I feel your pain — I got whacked by the Direct Track thing yesterday, plus I had the same issue with one clickbank product (Earth4Energy), plus I got a lead cap on a successful offer I’m running through a CPA co.

At the risk of telling what you know and what you've already done. "did you use a landing page? If so did you capture your leads? If you were direct linking then it was a waste of money because of the things beyond your control. I've been there. I'd suggest throttling down your campaign until things become more consistent. You might even consider adding another tracking service in case one is down. They don't go down to often, but if they are updating the sites or in the part of our country that's still in the state of emergency with no fema or a president stopping in they may have trouble restoring service. ie kentucky through the southern midwest.

Sorry Mom but thats the pure truth. I was a member of PPCclassroom 1 as well and cancelled my membership today. They can't handle the amount they had promised. The Q&A for the VIPs (I am one) is the only good thing but not worth the monthly $49). Definately stick with the Coach. Maybe you can grab a copy of Jeremy Palmer's "The Black Ink Project 1/2" which is striclty focused on long term affiliate sites. He explains a ton in very clear, good quality videos... See thats a reason to do your own landingpages so you don't get affected once the merchant changes the URL. Its not an easy game and nobody said it is so keep your chin up and do another campaign - Valentine's is coming ;-) First of all PPCClassroom 2 is crap. Sorry Mom but thats the pure truth.

I was in class as well when Direct Track went down. Seeing as how I was sending quite a bit of traffic to my links I definitely lost a good chunk of change because of it. Personally I've never liked Clickbank at all, I won't even advertise my own products there. I just finished up an ebook on PPC but I found a different system to use for it. Don't worry though, tomorrow will be better. Just make sure you focus on the task at hand and you'll be fine. Don't let a day like this discourage you, all industries have bad days and this was a bad one for us for sure. We just have to bounce back. I feel your pain on that one.
