Advice on making a CB version of my site..

by Christophe Young
7 replies
So, I have a site that's doing pretty well but I made it with a newbie "do it yourself" program and it's not really compatible with any affiliate programs that I like. I have to use Paypal as a payment processor. I want to get it on the Clickbank market place so I'm assuming one option is to redo my site from scratch with a WYSIWYG editor and then use CB as my payment processor.

My question is, if I redo my site and then transfer it to my existing domain, will I screw up all my SEO rankings after the transfer? One other option is to keep my site, mysitedotcom and use an affiliate program like RAP and make another site, mysitedotnet and have that be my CB site. But I don't want to get penalized for having duplicate sites out there.

Or just maybe I'm making the whole thing too damn complicated..

Any advice is appreciated.

      I guess i don't know what a "CB version" is...maybe you could enlighten me.

      Do you have a product of your own you would like to sell? If so get cleared through clickbank then put a link on a page of your site to the sales page or just add a landing page to your site.

      Most cb products have a dedicated url with a just sales page

        I have a single sales page and am selling an ebook. The "buy now" button is from Paypal, not Clickbank. I was told from CB that publishers have to use CB as a payment processor, not Paypal. I have to use Paypal because when a customer buys my ebook, Paypal notifies the server to deliver the ebook with download links via email to the customer. So, if I use CLickbank, then there will be no way for the customer to automatically get the ebook unless I can use a different autoresponder system that will send out the username and password for the ebook.

        Anyway, still trying to figure this one out.

          you regester your site with click bank and pay there fee you already havs a landing page and a delevery page to make it click bank frendly you just need Your Thank You Page must contain the following information:

          "Thank the customer for making a purchase.
          Display your email address so that you can provide technical support if the customer has questions about the product they purchased. ClickBank does not provide technical support for specific products. Do not simply make a clickable email image or button. You must actually display your email address visibly so that the customer can see it and have a record of the address.
          Remind the customer that his or her credit card or bank statement will show a charge by ClickBank or CLKBANK*COM rather than a reference to your specific product. Your reminder should be prominent. Often customers request refunds because they forget that ClickBank is handling the purchase.
          If the purchase was for a recurring billing product, be sure to restate the rebill schedule on your Thank You Page.
          Collect additional information from the customer, if necessary.
          Make an "exit link". Once the customer sees the Thank You Page, make sure they have at least one link to "

          thats from the cb site

    What in the world?! Why would you need to re-write your site?! (Just pay CB the $49.95 to be a publisher.) CB is just a single link the visitor clicks on to get re-directed to the sales page. Affiliate commissions are tracked with cookies on the visitor's own machine.

    Clickbank just needs you to have a good product that adds value. Make yourself available to your potential customers and convey that on your site and I don't think Clickbank will have a problem. Good luck!

    You're asking about 2 different things here: how to sell through Clickbank, and how to deliver the product.

    For the first one, you just need to take your current sales page, copy it, and change the payment link to the format Clickbank gives you. Put the address of this page in your CB account so that affiliate clicks end up there. This page can be on the same domain as your current one, or another. It doesn't matter as long as it works.

    For delivery, you can use software like DLGuard (which works with most any payment system) or just make an old-fashioned HTML download page.

    Thanks for the feedback. I get what you're saying about copying my current sales page and making a separate site. I could do that but then I'd still like to use the ebook software I'm using to deliver the product. The download links and codes for the book are emailed to the customer after payment. They aren't put on a "Thank you" page. This is where I'm lost. I'm not sure if there's a way for CB to communicate with my ebook software to tell it to send the download links after a purchase.

    I could just use something else entirely such as DLGuard like you said but I still want to use secure ebook software. Anyone can steal a PDF file and do what they want.
