I got this idea from DigitalPoint Forums where someone said that they “rotated” their clickbank ID regularly. The poster noticed that if they switched their CBIDs to another account they owned, they instantly started making sales. It was thought that a particular account can get flagged if a lot of “high risk” credit cards are attempted on it or from certain high risk countries. Clickbank has some pretty sensitive risk management rules!
Anyway, I thought I would try this and see if it worked. The simple answer is YES!
I opened a new account (was planning to do this anyway for a new product I am developing) and then changed the CBID on one site and some of my PPC adverts. Within three days I had made two FAP Turbo sales and over $150! My old account that received twice as many hops during the same time made one $33 sale!
I am going to make some changes to other sites to make changing account ID easier and then rotate them. This could be a regular thing for me if it works, the only problem being that you have to meet the initial criteria of 5 sales and different credit cards etc each new account and get paper checks to start with, but on current progress that shouldn’t be an issue.
Keep trucking. JZ

Hey Jimz,
Good post … funnily enough I’ve just tried the same thing … after having my best week ever suddenly all my sales died, so trying the setting up another account thing now … is a pain about the having to wait to qualify for checks again though …
What will your plan be to rotate them efficiently? Look forwards to hearing your results.

Hey Antz
Thanks for you comment. I think a lot of people are going to try this as it sounds a lot more plausable that accounts are getting flagged etc.
The quickest way to change on mass is if you have php redirects for all of the links, you only need to change one file then instead of lots of individual links.
Going to see how this trial works and then maybe extend to another account, once you meet the criteria should be plain sailing.
Let me know how you get on.
