Thread: books direct sales

it's not just you. We were doing a few and that has now dropped to a trickle. It's very odd.

well they stopped scheme on DGM so maybe they have on Tradedoubler too but just forgot to tell us!!

No problems here:

12.73% conversion so far for December
12.89% conversion for the month of November

Also seen regular sales for the last few days.

john thanks for confirmation as you know I only recently started pushing them.

I haven't seen any recent changes either. It's certainly slowly decreasing over the last few months with the changes they keep making, but not the last few days.

I'm still waiting for this change to batched validations though!

It must just be me then, I was hoping that they were doing batch conversions & something would appear in my account but still nothing for this month.

Normally I would do a test purchase but it's a bit difficult coz I'm already a member. It looks as though my visitors or either not applying or their applications are unsuccessful.

I've changed some of my links to the new one, and not changed others.

I've been getting sales almost daily.

Conversion rate for Books Direct was almost 25% last December, only 5% this December.

Still a better performer than other book sellers though.

Today I changed most of the new links back to the old ones. I've just had my 1st sale this month and it was through an old link.

It may just be a coincidence but I'm going to leave the old links up till the end of the month. I'll have to change them again then because the old ones won't track but it'll be interesting to see if my sales dry up again in January.

I've had 6 books direct leads in the past 3 days with the new links up.
