As for why I don’t use this technique on QuickieProfits, besides the fact that I use a different shopping cart that is fully integrated with the membership software, another reason is that QuickieProfits serves the internet marketing niche – and that niche is generally very familiar with ClickBank so it would be unnecessary. However, I would still test it.

We don’t have a “sale” or “checkout” form, but we do have exactly the same problem. When a customer needs to fill in an enquiry or instruction form, they are sent to a different, SECURE site, with a different URL and appearance.

I’m sure it’s off-putting.

Great. Thanks.

We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion, but this and other tests are performed with our clients’ best interests in mind. The different order form versions you saw were performed as part of a very brief but statistically significant split test we ran to determine the best-converting color combination for the ClickBank order form, in light of our recent logo change.

To keep results as accurate as possible, it’s important that ClickBank clients don’t alter their normal behavior during split tests. For this reason, we don’t pre-announce tests. However, due to our high number of daily transactions, if a new order form version is shown to convert poorly, we are able to quickly identify and remove it from the test.

Contrary to the idea that the new versions of the order form “killed” conversions, the results actually showed that the difference in conversion rate between the three versions we tested was less than .25%, and that both new “alternative” versions of the order form actually outperformed our “classic” all-blue order form. This is why we run these tests from time to time, as they can reveal ways to improve conversion rates for our clients, rather than leaving things as they’ve always been.

I can assure you that when we do change our order form in the near future to reflect the highest-converting version of the order form, we will provide ClickBank clients with advance notice in the News section of the Account Home page, so you’ll have plenty of time to change any screenshots you have of the order form.

Some people here on clickbank’s landing pages contains SOO much hype you can’t help but get hooked!

The advice you’re providing, in general, is great. But let’s take a closer look at what you’re advocating, and expose a potential problem. When you show a prospective customer what the order form will look like, they expect to see that order form upon clicking the link, right? That’s the expectation you’ve created in the mind of the customer.

So you can imagine the confusion created when that prospective customer hits an order page that ClickBank is screwing around with (as is the case at the time this is being posted.) Blue sidebars being experimentally swapped with reddish sidebars, and a slew of other split-tests that CB (often with no warning to vendors — as is the case now) begins conducting.

So, in light of that, you’re providing poor advice as it relates to ClickBank.
