Can this be a leak for a ClickBank product?

1 replies
I've found a product in Clickbank that I want to promote. But the landing page is something like:

www.domain.com/clickbank.html?hop=xxxxxxx

If I go just to www.domain.com then I will see the exact same sales page, but the payment method is different (shoppingcart.com).

My concern is: what if people decide to come back because they weren't convinced at the first visit and just go to www.domain.com instead of the clickbank dedicated page?

I see a lot of people saying that people don't usually buy a product at their first visit.

Bear in mind that this product costs $97 so even more reasons for them to think twice before they act.



From your experience, do people remember domain names or go through history/ autoresponder email/ etc to get to the sales page?

I'm asking this because I usually remember the domain names and sometimes don't use history at all.

Thanks!

    Absolutely right.

    It's a "payment leak".

    Few serious, professional affiliates will promote a product which has another, non-ClickBank sales page elsewhere.

    Exactly as you say, few customers buy at their first visit to the sales page, and if they can go back somewhere else, to another payment page, where your affiliate cookie doesn't help you ... well, you may just want to promote another product instead, that doesn't give you that problem to worry about.

    You're not the only one, even though some browsers will have an in-built predictive thing which may take some people back to the same page they were on before. But that doesn't change the fact that this is still a "payment leak" and a risk (and either a "clever" or a "naive" vendor - personally, I dislike both: call me demanding, but I want them to know what they're doing and to be completely honest!).
