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.
