Affiliate Programs Affiliate sales down?

[south]

Is it just me, or are affiliate sales WAY down recently? Plenty of views / traffic / clicks, just very slow sales.

I totally agree. I do a couple different products that have good sales such as 1/12 clicks and now its like 4/300.

Thanks Misfit! Guess people are just holding their cash right now.

Yeah affiliate sales are down.
Adsense is down too.

Yes, as businesses cut their advertising budgets, and others go out of business completely, the bid price on the keywords goes down..

Depends what you're selling and in what markets.

My nerd stuff is selling slightly better than normal. Probably because depressed nerds are throwing themselves more into their MMORPGs and just have to have that Logitech gaming mouse to soothe the pain.

My fine liquor stuff's doing better than normal too.
