Click Bucks

[cindi]

I received 20 click bucks affiliates. How did this happen? I don't advertise my SFI with the Click bucks url?

Hi Cindi,

Are you seeing these on your clickbucks report or your sales report?

I don't know that much about clickbucks, but I think if one of your personally sponsored affiliates generates clickbucks affiliates they will show on your sales report.

If they signed up through your url, they should be on your clickbucks report.

It's posible that one or two could stumble upon your CB url, but 20 seems unlikely. Unless you advertised the CB url in the past and an old ad is kicking in. (This is why it's important to use keycodes so you can identify the source.)

Tim,

They are on my commission report. I made $25 from click bucks sign ups. My understanding was if you sign up someone through click bucks, you make the money but someone else gets the affiliates. I made the money, but I don't have the affiliates in my genealogy report. I have SFI out as a promotion by itself. I better check my ads! It's nice to have the money, but I would rather have the affiliates. (I just don't remember EVER using the CB url for anything.)

Thanks
Cindi

By using ClicBucks, you are essentially setting your self up with a Co-op and SFI is the manager. I would never use clickbucks the way they have it set up now. I believe it is better to keep the sfi affiliates yourself as their personal enroller and then get the commissions from them and anyone they bring in.

SFI basically uses Clickbucks to sell the affiliates you get from an Eagle Co-op share purchase. Their profit margin is nice for them...

If you have 20 clickbucks showing on your acct and are not using them yourself then you will not personally earn anything from these. They are essentially giving you notification that there is a personal enrollment of yours who is using Clickbanks...

I'm guessing but I would bet they are shwoing no commission or SVP on your sales notification rept...

Erich,

SFI paid me $25.00 in commissions from these sign ups. I checked all my urls and I am not using CB, mine are all free. They don't show any SVP. Maybe I will just wait this out another month and see if it happens again. If it is one of my down line, I guess I will just take the money and run. ;D If it is a mistake on SFI's part, I'm sure they will let me know!

Hi Cindi,

If you actually got paid for them, two more posibilities come to mind:

1. Another affiliate transposed a couple of numbers in their ID and were mistakingly advertising your site. (Free advertising ;D) also a reminder to always check your links, so you don't return the favor.

2. One of your affiliates was promoting CB and opted out, so the commissions rolled up to you.

Check your clickbucks report: www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/ClickBucks.sfi

If they don't show up on this report (you may have to look back a couple months) I would bet that they were a roll-up commission from an opted out affiliate.

It never made any sense to me why anyone would opt out of a free program and leave their money on the table... but it happens quite a bit.

Tim,

Thanks to you I found it!

It appears that SFI holds back on CB's for payment until they do something with the program. Then SFI pays you for them. I am getting paid for affiliate CB's from MARCH! I don't have any others over the months so it has to be a member that opted out.

I guess I will just enjoy the free money for now. At least I know they are not from my url's.

Thanks for your help ;D
