I won't get commission from opt ins on product sales pages will I?

The opt ins on CB (or from wherever) products seems to make money for the product owner and not the affiliate.

Is that correct?

    In fact, if the product owner has a well crafted email sequence, and assuming he's an honest marketer (meaning he doesn't overwrite your affiliate cookie), an opt-in on the sales page can in fact increase your affiliate commissions.

    Steve, you need to opt-in to the newsletters of the vendors you want to promote to see what the marketer does with the traffic you send him or her. As Anonymous Affiliate said, some marketers actually work with you by helping close the sale via email. But there's only one way to know for sure -- opt in and see for yourself.

    Cheers,
    Becky

    p.s. You should also consider building your own email list. That way you can close the sale yourself.

      Yes, the affiliate cookie is being passed along on most affiliate systems: clickbank, plimus, 1ShoppingCart, etc.

      That's totally incorrect!

      Why do you think all major Guru product launches start with a squeeze page and their affiliates don't mind driving traffic to it?

      Think about it for a second: if you send traffic to a sales page, you have just ONE shot to make the sale.

      If you send traffic to a squeeze page (and again, assuming the vendor is honest and has a decent email sequence), you have MULTIPLE chances to score a sale: one chance on each consecutive email to be more specific.

      As an affiliate, driving traffic to squeeze pages is NOT a bad thing in itself.

      The cookie is loaded on the vendor's landing page. This could be a sales page or opt-in page, it doesn't matter. CB cookies last for 60 days.
