ClickBank: Is it "cheating" to buy your own product?
I have two ClickBank Accounts and I publish products on both of them. I will sometimes use one account to buy my product in the other account.
I also sometimes will do a Google Search for my product title and find Affiliates' postings, then I will buy my product thru their hoplink (spread the wealth). This is all intended to increase the popularity of my products, and also to keep them in the Marketplace if there have been no recent sales (ClickBank drops you off their list if you haven't had a sale in a month).
Not only that, but when I find a ClickBank product I'd like to buy, I will do it thru my hoplink so I can get it at a discount. Note that this delays your affiliate payment per ClickBank Rules Under "CDR", but eventually this money will come back to you:

Customer Distribution Requirement
ClickBank accounts cannot be used for the sole purpose of collecting rebates or otherwise extending credit to yourself or others. In compliance with US law, ClickBank will withhold payment of any account balance until the following criteria is met:
* Sales made with 5 or more different credit card numbers and
* Sales made with two different payment methods (either Visa, MasterCard, or PayPal). Note: PayPal purchases do not count toward the minimum 5 different credit card numbers.

If these are good ideas, let me know if you also use these techniques. If they are considered sleazy unethical practices -- well then, I'm just kidding about it. I never do these things, it's just a hypothetical inquiry...
I'm interested in Warriors' ideas about this,
