From what I was reading in the WF, clickbank has been cracking down with some of their vendors, the content of their sales pages, traffic etc. especially during launch period (from 30 to 90 days). Some of the posters were saying that they were being watched like "hawks", which set off a few "signals" for me about doing business with certain people. My guess would be, that it's due to the high refund rates and cheats going on with the grav etc. I've never used clickbank to sell my own products, I had my own affiliate program with a short list of people I had built strong relationships with. Even now, coming back after a hiatus, I will still follow that policy, since I've known a lot of these people for 10 to 12 years and we both know what we are getting into doing business together. I can't remember whom it was that grilled, "it's better to have a short list of strong affiliates then a thousand dead affiliates" into my head when I launched my first affiliate program, but it has been sound advice.
