Affiliate Marketing with ClickBank by: Nikolai Ivanov
Almost everywhere on the Internet we can find the success stories describing how some folks made a fortune selling programs online. Well, of
course we all realize that not all of those stories are completely true. But, it would also be wrong to say that it is not possible to make a
comfortable living selling online. It is possible and there are many very successful entrepreneurs making their living online.
One of the most popular Internet businesses is called affiliate marketing. An affiliate marketer is someone who promotes a program or a
service offered by a third party (frequently called a merchant or a vendor) and receives a commission for his efforts. The commissions can be
earned for sending a potential customer to a merchants web site (Pay per Lead), for each sale made (Pay per Sale), for a click on a merchants
link or a banner (Pay per Click), or a combination of the above.
Pay per Sale is the most popular form of affiliate marketing. What can be easier? Find a good program, promote it and receive commissions.
Well, unfortunately it is not that simple. There should be a mechanism in place that would make sure that an affiliate marketer is properly
credited for his efforts.
ClickBank is a company that makes it possible for affiliates to promote programs and receive commissions for the sales made. ClickBank
currently has an army of more than 100,000 affiliates and approximately 6,300 programs listed in more than 90 categories. ClickBank only deals
with digital programs meaning that there is no shipping involved - buyer gets the program either by email or though a direct download from a
merchants website the moment the payment is processed. ClickBank is also a payment processor. It accepts payments by a credit card, debit card,
or PayPal.
So, how does ClickBank make it possible for an affiliate to be properly credited for his efforts? ClickBank is using hop links to track the
affiliate efforts. In order to start promoting programs offered through ClickBank, an affiliate has to register with ClickBank and receive a
unique ClickBank affiliate id. The ClickBank sign up form can be found on https://login.clickbank.net/signup/ page. The affiliate id is used to
build a special hyperlink that has the following format: http://affiliateID.vendorID.hop.clickbank.net/.
When the above link is clicked, the surfer is redirected to the ClickBank server that first sets the affiliate cookie on the surfers computer
and then redirects the surfer to the merchants web site. If the surfer then makes a purchase, the cookie is used to identify and credit the
affiliate for the sale.
As you can see, it is not very difficult to become a ClickBank affiliate and start promoting programs and services offered thought ClickBank.
But one has to remember that not every program or service listed is worth promoting. There are several tools available on the Internet that one
can use to check the performance history of the ClickBank programs and see if a program/service will convert. I will cover those tools in my next
article.
