How do these "affilaites" make money?

by Alan Petersen

I get Google alerts on one of my ClickBank products and it's always the same. These useless blog posts. These affiliates never make a sale. I don't care since the backlink is cool but what's the point?

I've blurred my product info in the screenshot but my product doesn't have anything to do with Android iPhone which is what this blog is about. Is this an automated blog? They did scrape my headline into their "blog post".



I get several of these every week and they never make any sales as an affiliate so do they make money off the Adsense?

I just don't get it.

    I believe autoblogs are just waste of hosting space.... I tried before with more than 20 blogs but got nothing even with highly-searched Keyword domains.

    Ya, it's just an autoblog.

    P.S. No need to blur out your product. I found the website and your product within a few seconds :p

    Alan, I get the same alerts for my products. I probably get 15 or more a day. They are autobots that scrape the CB marketplace.

    But in some point, autoblogs help me build links when these sites scrapes my articles from article directories with my link..

    I have a ton of affiliates doing the same thing. And they never get any sales.

    It's stupid because one look at their blog and a user will immediately get confused and leave. They scrape the actual description used in my CB marketplace listing for affiliates and use that same blurb as a description for the product they're promoting.

    Makes no frickin sense!!
