Four Important
Rules for Choosing ClickBank Affiliate Products
At ClickBank there’s more to choosing products than just checking
affiliate commissions. You need to know how well the vendor’s web
site converts to sales, for example, and whether links or other
features at the site might innocently, or deliberately, rob you of
your affiliate commissions.
Most important of all:
* You should avoid sales pages with too many outgoing links that
might detract the visitor from ordering through your affiliate link.
For example, AdSense promotions on the product vendor’s site are a
big problem for affiliates, because once your visitor clicks on an
AdSense link earning commission for the ClickBank product owner,
that potential buyer could be gone forever and with him your
ClickBank commission. Testimonials can also lead to potential buyers
leaving the page for alternative sites promoting products that don’t
generate commission for you. Incidentally, although most
testimonials are entirely up front and honest, I have seen others
where the active link to a testimonial provider’s site is designed
to generate commission sales of higher price products than whatever
you are promoting.
* Offers of free reports and gifts at the vendor’s site to join the
ClickBank vendor’s list do not always include your affiliate link.
If there is no affiliate link in the report, your recommendations
will benefit the site owner, not you. I recommend you personally
join the list to check your link is included in the report or ask
the site owner to create another page just for you without the sign
up offer.
* Invitations to download free reports or join a mailing list before
buying the product might earn you commission, but you’ll lose
control of many more names than will actually become buyers for the
product concerned. Once on another person’s list, those who bought
and those who did not buy on this occasion, can be targeted
regularly by that other person for products similar to those you
might also be selling, and effectively losing money for you. Unless
commissions are really high and preferably ongoing, I recommend you
avoid products with sign up pages or other name gathering devices.
* Avoid sites with multiple payment options, other than ClickBank
and PayPal-incorporated ClickBank links. Other options, including
independent PayPal buttons may mean you won’t get commissions on
sales to your visitors.
