How The ClickBank Marketplace Works

Thats the info I was looking for Harvey I thank you.

I believe I understand now, the higher the gravity the better the product and I should choose to promote it...if Im correct.

I rarely promote the highest gravity products. I base my research on "look and feel" as well as a few trust factors such as "good copy", "non hypey copy", testimonials, traffic stats, niche keyword research and a few more things... I usually also pick up a copy of the product to compare if it's good or not.

The worst you can do is just pick a product. Try using CBEngine to figure out if it has a raising trend, or if people are "tired" of the product. it will show you deeper graphs and more data than clickbank even will!

Of course you want succesful affiliates selling the product, but you don't want too much that you can't promote it yourself (especially as a beginner)

I'm not making any money for affiliate marketing as i haven't found my winner...but i know that i shouldn't give up so i will continue until i've found my winner...

I see both sides. I actually put together a spreadsheet to see if gravity had anything to do with conversion rate

It actually does. The higher the gravity, the higher the conversion ratio on average.

But that doesn't mean the low gravity diggers are wrong either. If you look at the graph of the top ten high gravity products on clickbank they are roughly in the same order as the conversion rate that I received promoting those offers, but it wasn't even close to scale.

In other words, the product with a gravity of 800,000 didn't have eight times the conversion rate as the product with a gravity of 100,000. Instead it just barely beat it.

There were a lot of products with a great conversion rate in the 10,000-50,000 range.

There was also a couple of products with nearly zero gravity that had a great conversion rate. The low gravity diggers are benefiting from those exceptions to the rule. They find the new products that don't yet have a gravity rating or those products that just don't have a lot of affiliates but do have a great conversion rate and they benefit because there isn't much competition. It's a cool strategy.

Even if you don't want to go digging, their strategy gives a clue about staying away from the super high gravity products. Their conversion rate is about the same as the next tier down, but they have eight times as much competition or more.

So both are correct really. Gravity does relate to conversion rate loosely. But it also relates to competition much less loosely than it relates to conversion rate.

Well, Im convinced that gravity doesnt neccessarily have anything to do with how good a product will do. But, know the conversion rate is important and that isnt given to you by clickbank. So, I guess a little research and digging is neccessary when it comes to finding the winning product.

The best way to choose a product to promote..

Is to find one that best serves your chosen niche...

All the stats, $ per sale etc etc are meaningless when it comes to truly serving your niche with exactly what they are looking for.

Find a group of people who are hungry for something...

Give it to them

Profit

It is a time tested method..

is CB worth pursuing or should I find another marketplace to get products to promote?

I believe I just figured it out. With the help of NASCAR of course. Have you seen the comercial for Tony Stewards School of Marketing. He only sponsors things he loves. He loves the BK Whopper, and he sponsors it. So, find a product on CB or another marketplace and then use it...if its good and worth money...you can promote it because others will like it also. I believe thats it...
