ClickBank Direct Payment Link for Affiliates

by jrianto

Does anyone know how to create a direct payment link while promoting a ClickBank product?

So what I want to accomplish is for my affiliates to be able to create their own sales page, and on their sales page they can place a payment link which directs the visitor directly to the clickbank payment page.

See, if the affiliates are using the hoplink, the visitor will get directed to my sales page, not the payment page.

How to accomplish this?

Thanks for your feedback.

    Very simple.

    The direct payment link for affiliates comes like this http:// 1. zzz_xxx. hoplink. clickbank. net
    zzz refers affiliates id, xxx refers product vendors id and no.1 refers the item number.

    This way affiliates will get credited for sales without linking to actual vendor homepage.

    I Hope this will help you.

    Refer to the clickbank payment link FAQ:
    => FAQ Payment - ClickBank

    With that said, in order for the affiliates to receive their commissions, they must first get your visitors to visit your main hoplink. Clickbank will then implant their cookies into the customers' computer, and track the affiliate commissions from there.

    From my understanding, getting the customers to click on the direct payment link without visiting your hoplink first, will not pay your affiliates their duly commissions.

    I e-mailed Clickbank about this and their response was:

    "Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry! The way ClickBank's affiliate program tracks referrals is through our hoplink system. When customers click through a hoplink, they are taken to the URL that is listed in that publisher's account. If a customer then decides to purchase the product from that site, you will earn a commission.

    There is no way for you to bypass the publisher's page and still receive credit for the referral. If you do not like the pitch page of a particular publisher, you may wish to consider promoting a different publisher that is more to your taste."

    Kyle Tully sent me this link that may help out (from Michel Fortin's blog):

    Hope this helps.

      No, it won't work. You need to use the hoplink to send visitors to the vendor's home page first. Don't try to alter the hoplink, it will result in you not getting credit for the sale and the link will not work.

    You could send directly to the order page but you risk not loading the cookie and therefore losing the sale. You could load the cookie within a iframe but it is frowned upon by google adwords and can result in a poor page quality score.

    All link cloaking tools I've seen use javascript and third party cookies. So if the user has any of those two options disabled in their browser you will lose the sale.

    I only do direct linking to the order page if the product's sales page is pure crap. Only If I know that the visitor will lose momentum once he sees the product's sales pitch.

    If a vendor's sales page is crappy I don't even bother promoting the product. I try and create a professional review site, get them primed and then send them to the vendor's sales page. If it doesn't convert then I simply change the star rating of the products on the review site until I find a combo that works.

    Thanks Harvey!
    After reading the warning, I think I'll pass on that. It's too risky.
