ClickBank 2-tier affiliate program script? Is It Possible?

Anyone know if it's possible to have your own 2-tier affiliate program using ClickBank?

Is there a script or anything that might work?

    Not sure if it would be against CB's TOS or not, but it would be pretty easy to write a php script that rotates between 2 specific hoplinks (at a specified ratio), depending on who the referring affiliate is.

    The only drawback with that method would be that your tier 1 affiliate and tier 2 affiliate would be splitting the *traffic* to your landing page (instead of splitting the actual sales). So the sales wouldn't be perfectly split with regards to the specified ratio (but it should work out to be pretty accurate over the long run).

    Come to think of it, it actually would be possible to set it up so that the sales are split correctly between them. But that would require integrating the script with CB's API, as well as extra database code, which would add up to a lot more programming work.

    So to answer your question, it's definitely possible. Might want to check with CB first though, to make sure it would be inline with their TOS.

    It isn't possible at the minute - you would have to program this on yourself - and it wouldn't work 100% imo - you would have to force people to opt-in to your affiliate program, and silently capture / check if they have come to your page via another affiliate hop - record that alongside their name and email, and also THEIR CB ID...

    ..then every time they make a sale you make a record of it, count up the value each month and then send a seperate paypal payment to the original refferer - if you have their contact details...

    could be a lot of extra admin, and not always 100% accurate either.

    Thanks for the insights fellas.

    I did end up finding a solution, but as you said, there's nothing on the market that seems to do it.
