Choosing Clickbank Product to Promote

by se7en

Hello all,

I am browsing through Clickbank looking for a product for my first site.

I have a question.On some of their landing pages they have an opt in
for a free report.If the prospect signs up for the free report leaves landing page,reads free report buys product from free report link.Is this tracked?
Or is it best to pick a product without an opt in as it seems they would convert better.


Steve.

    There's no way to find out other than to opt in yourself and check the emails sent to you.
    Basically, it's a technical challenge to a lot of people to have all this automated and tracked and might therefore be the prime reason that a lot of these opt in do not attach the referral affiliate's link within.

      I think because you sent them their through your link first you will get the credit.

          Hi Alexa,
          I know that the last affiliate gets the sale but if the person clicks a link from the vendor to send them to www.domain.com after they went through an affiliates link then I believe the affiliate will still get the sale. Am I wrong? I have tested this and the last affiliate gets the sale from what I see. So in other words to say it again when the vendor sends someone to the main domain of www.domain.com through a followup email then the cookie appears to not be over written and if it was what would it say on the bottom of the clickbank order form. Would the vendors link of www.domain.com really set it back to affiliate=none instead of the last affiliate on the order form.

Is that a chance you'd want to take, as an affiliate, or would you prefer to promote something without a vendor's opt-in on the sales-page and therefore not to have to worry about it at all? (It's what we were just discussing in another thread, I think?).
              I also was on that other thread and was saying that I tested this and the last affiliate is not overwritten by a regular link from the vendor sending the person to the root domain of www.domain.com. I tried this and it doesn't owerwrite last affiliates id. So no one should worry about this. I guess like they said in the other thread that you have to watch out for a vendor selling something else when they should be selling the product that the affiliate promoted for a while at least.

              I was also thinking from the other thread and realized maybe the person who started the thread got a simple aweber broadcast email sent by the vendor which coincided with him just joining the vendors list so I see how it didn't look good for the vendor but it happens.

                Correct in this case, however the following is not necesarily true

                The vendor might be using his root domain to sell
                with his own affiliate id whereas the affiliate
                landing page might be a different page at his site.

    Think I will pick a product without an email opt in.

    I would rather dazzle the prospect with my quality content,gather their email with my
    quality free report,rev them up into a buying frenzy and send them to the product.

    I think maybe another free report will switch off that buying mode.

    The only way to find out for sure is to split test and I`m not at that point yet.

    Thats one approach. Find a product then hope you can promote it. Some people would look for market then match a product to the market. But those people are more interested in making money.

    It's terrible, but my entire criteria is based on gravity and payout. Then again, I don't view competition as competition, just time hurdles in the uphill SEO game.
