International Traffic For Clickbank Products?

I wouldn't, myself.

The US is only one country in the English-speaking, ClickBank-product-buying world.

I regularly sell ClickBank products to people who live in Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland, the Caribbean and many other countries, too, to be honest.

I found that very counterproductive indeed, when I was promoting ClickBank products through PPC advertising.

Right after the opt-in, I would never want to send people to an offer page. Not at that point.

For me, it was be a big mistake to do that. As people who have split-tested it have often discovered (and they tend to be the ones who quickly abandon that idea, once they've thoroughly tested it for themselves.)

I suspect there's quite a bit of misguided thinking about, on this subject. It's worth bearing in mind that it's possible to make the occasional quick sale that way and still lose a lot of money overall. Here's the key concept: the few people who will buy anything, that way, are all people who would have bought it in a week's time anyway, after receiving some email from you, so there's no real gain. But many other people, who would otherwise have bought it a week or two later, will be alienated by it, because of course it makes you look like "just another marketer", so if I did that, I'd expect a much lower open-rate for my emails than I actually get.

(Also, for myself, I need the thank you page, in order to give clear instructions, both in words and in pictures, on what subscribers (two groups: "gmail users" and "others") need to do, in order to receive my emails in their in-boxes. Again, without doing this, my open-rates are significantly lower - and I certainly don't want anything else distracting from that, because it's what the bulk of my future income depends on, and long-term future income is the whole point of building the list in the first place?).
