Conversions

[Ponomo]

Anyone notice a decline in conversions with Epharm? I wonder if their order tracking is screwed up because the clicks are there, but the orders ain't.

[NiHao]

Ever since they converted site to php my conversion rate has dropped by 50%.

According to those who run this and the other programs (you know the ones I mean) there is a problem at the "thankyou" page whereby the "affiliate id" is not being "passed" even though orders are still going through.


This means that unique clicks will show in your stats but there will be no orders showing.


I was told that they hope to have the problem fixed by Friday (crying my eyes out) and that they will try and track back to recover "lost sales" for their affiliates.


I got this information today after talking to them.

Hi Peter,


I guess the chances of them actually back tracking to allocate ordersare slim - based their history of similar problems in the past - or did you fire a rocket up them this time?


Is it just epharm? - I see all the Jive programs are down on conversions.

What are the alternatives to the Jive network?


I don't think they've fixed the problem.

They had a good thing going, but lately they have hadnumerous other problems that aren't being fixed and communication has all but halted.I am actively looking for a replacement also. Any suggestions?

If there is one, don't expect to hear about it here. Admin used to systematically delete posts concerning P.A. http://www.rxaffiliateforum.com/smileys/smiley18.gif

Lets see if this gets deleted - mygeneric

Well, while the post is still alive, may I just say it's a damned shame. Although I have been paid on time every time by epharm, I have also noticed a decline in conversions.


MPLLC looks like a great program, but damn that Phen, Di and P*zime is as addictive as coke! I hate to see yet another revenue stream gradually dimenish...

[ChesterCoperpot]

Di and P*zime

didrex and bontril, probably.

[NewbiusMaximus]

Bontril yes....typo with the "m".


Face it, do a search for phentermine or bontril and see how many sites are still live. Until uncle sam clearly states the repocutions an affiliate marketer will see for marketing phentermineand the likes, I still plan on making a living.

[BowFromMI]

Hopefully eP is getting their act back together. I've been converting at about 2% for the last 4 days or so, which is about all I did way back when...


For the 2 or 3 weeks before that, I think they somehow "lost" (stole) all of my orders, as I was consistantly down around 0.5%.


Is anybody else seeing a pick up in their conversion rates lately?

[smokey]

ever since monday for me.

[NewbiusMaximus]

Conversions are back up, but I'm getting a sh*t-load Dr. Declines all of a sudden.

[Ponomo]

Epharm site down now? Seems like they can't get their sh*t together. None of my affiliate links are working.

[DaveM]

It's the beginning of all those company Christmas parties. Nothing but drunk employees from now until Christmas!

Oh, the joys of Christmas!

Back to normal numbers since last Monday. Sales are down overall because many affiliates have stopped promoting epharmacist.


Good in some respects - less chance of stock shortages


Wire transfersall right on time. Still one of the best product ranges available.

Know of any replacements? PM

[andrew13]

It's funny...


I wrote an extensive message (under another topic) about E-Pharm last week. Somehow it "magically" disappeared... just like other people have experienced in this forum when refering to E-Pharm or Jive...


Anyways, my conversions have been WAY DOWN too lately! Ever since Thanksgiving, it's been horrible!


In my previous message, I mentioned the email Pill Agent (Jive) sent out detailing the reasons for the lower conversions. I assumed this was the "supposed" reasoning for the lowered conversions Network-wide (including E-Pharm).


They claim to have taken steps to prevent fruadulent drug transactions. They say they are trying to protect their customers, as well as "our" industry by making it more difficult for individuals to buy drugs (illegally) online. This is the reason we are seeing a decrease in sales and conversions...


Weren't they taking these precautions before???!!!


While I agree that taking steps to protect our industry is good, I question the "real" reason for lowered conversions lately. The truth is, there is NO COMPETITION for Jive. Since affiliates have no other choice, it's easy to pay us less because we have nowhere else to go!


As I stated in my last message, no other OP available compares in pricing or commission rates. The only one that could compare in pricing (iPharmacy), only pays $20 (flat) per order with no %. Lately, I've been thinking this would be OK if conversions were better... but I've applied twice in the past, and never got a response.


Has anyone used iPharmacy. How are their conversions? Can you get me in?!

I havereasonable contact with CEO and CFO - send me pm email and I'll give it a try for you. Our conversion is only down a tad in Epharm but it is very good in ipharm - mainly because the low price.


Usually v. low price = low commission, when you get v low prices + high commissions its nice for about 8 weeks before the op falls apart.
