Clickbank Commision Theft - Affiliates Beware

June 30, 2008

I once tried using a program called affiliate cloner. I set up my links and after a few weeks I followed one of the the links and scrolled down to the bottom of the Clickbank order page. To my surprise the referring affiliate nick name was changed to “JAVA9″ So I closed the page and followed the link again, this time it showed my affiliate ID at the bottom of the CB order page. I did this over the next few days and found that it was alternating between my CD ID and one called “JAVA9″. I said to myself “that’s funny” since the affiliate cloner works by generating a javascript code from your affiliate hop link for you to save as an html file on your domain and then use IT as your referral link to customers. Then for the customer to get to the publisher site she must have a javascript enabled browser (about 96% of browsers are javascript enabled) When my cloned link is followed in this manner there is a split second where i could actually see the script run. I wasn’t sure what was going on so I stopped using the script.

Recommendation
Use the HTML or PHP (for php servers) redirect script provided by Clickbank although I don’t suppose they are foolproof.

Clickbank does a fantastic job all round; I predict that they will be doing more to prevent commission theft.

Cheers!

Clickbank now Offers Recurring Billing Through PayPal

June 27, 2008


I gotta say that I saw this coming. As PayPal becomes more and more popular with shoppers retailers have to ride the wave or get left behind.

Consumers like to use PayPal because its easy, convenient and secured. They shop with confidence because they know they are well protected. If you haven’t yet started a membership site to build passive residual income now is the time.

How to Drive Traffic to Your Site with Article Marketing

June 27, 2008

Article marketing is one of the most cast effective ways for driving traffic to your Clickbank affiliate or publisher site. To get good results with article marketing you must first pick a topic suitable to your niche, preferably one that isn’t too competitive - generally this means that it has a lower search volume. Then you can either write the article yourself or outsource the job to Elance.com.

Million dollar tip: generally its better not to use the keyword in the article more than once per 100 words. The keyword should be included in the title of the article and as a hyper link in the resource box when you submit the article to ezinearticles.com or other article directories such as iArticleDirectory.com.

Get more exposure for your articles with an automated submitter such as Article Submitter

Good luck making money on Clickbank. Remember, don’t spend it all in one place.
