So today I was going through the logs of one of my websites and I noticed that I get a lot of sign ups and not all of them are purchasing from me.
Now when you get to my website you can easily see the product as well as the price. In order to make a purchase you have to be logged in or sign up a new account.
I'm seeing roughly 30% to 50% of people who sign up never make a purchase. That just boggles my mind because I know I personally would never make an account if I had intentions to buy, and then not spend a dime.
So basically my question is, why do people sign up and not buy?
Are they just trying to register their name on a website in case it gets big enough then they can come back and have the name taken? Are people worried about someone taking their username and making a bad impression that could possibly hurt their other profiles online since most of them can be found pretty easily if you're using a unique pen name?
I'm so confused 
I just wish that every sign up would result in a sale. If it did I'd be a much happier person than I am already lol I'm already a pretty happy person, I just want there to be rainbows sprouting out of me every time I talk or interact with someone lmao
Well that's my questions/venting and I'd love to know what you guys/girls think.
Thanks,
Razzy

I've been curious to know the reason and I found out that a bunch of them signed up for a free $5 coupon and couldn't use it due to another account. They were simply scammers trying to get free services. Shame on them. That being said, that doesn't cover all of these "non spenders" and I came to an conclusion that many of them got interested, created their accounts, listed some services and didn't got any orders. They never came back after that. Which is sad as they never gave this a fair chance. So shame on them again. A third conclusion is somewhat like the above. Many of my affiliates are sellers and not buyers, which makes it easy to understand why there's a loss in sales, even though a marketplace user can be both a buyer and seller.
What you mentioned about them claiming their usernames etc. could obviously be a reason too but I believe it's more about "?non action takers" in general.
Cheers,
hitmeasap Good question! As an example I'll use SEOClerks affiliate program. I have more than 1,100 affiliates. As I cannot filter my affiliates by [i]"total orders"[/i] or [i]"sales amount"[/i] anymore (I don't know why this have been disabled), it's quite hard to see exactly how they are doing. However, what I can do, is to browse each and every page of affiliates to see the results and when I'm doing that, I can clearly see that I have a TON of affiliates who never spent a single cent.
