Clickbank & Google adwords -- does it work?

[target52]

Hello members.

Is there any one out there who can help me with some questions regarding my ideas to start set up affiliate programs?

1. If I sign up at clickbank and I create my hop link do I need to make a landing page first with my own Webb name?
Inside the landing page I create a link where visitors can click and after that they will be transferred to the affiliate’s link for example http://www.affiliateswebbname.com/?hop=nickname
So far so good. But the problem is when visitors delete the nickname and goes directly to the affiliate. It results in that I loose all commission from that purchase.
How can I solve that problem?

2. Can I just copy the affiliate link with my nickname and paste it in Google adwords, does Google accept that?

3. I know that the most difficult is to get traffic to my page, that’s why I am planning to invest a small amount in Google adwords so I pay per click.
Is there anyone who have good experience from Google adwords?

If there is anyone of you who have experience of working with affiliates and could give me some good advices I would be more than happy.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
John
