Cookies & Clickbank

by JakeDaly
7 replies
I'm beginning to Bum Market on a popular Clickbank product but something makes me a tad bit nervous. Instead of going to the sales page of the product the hop link actually goes to the home page, allowing the person to opt in and get a free report before ever going to the sales page for the product I am promoting. If the person who clicks through later goes back to the product website to purchase the product at a later time, will my clickbank ID still be credited with the sale?

Thanks in advance,

Jake

    Did you make a test sale to check that ?

    you can test this rather quickly: optin-in, get to the sales page, hit the purchase button, then look at the bottom of the CB purchase page and see if your cookie is there.

    you'll also want to make sure they don't put their own affiliate id's in their followup emails - i've caught someone doing this.

    I don't promote products with an optin on the sales page. Here's my logic (no numbers to back it up, just my thinking): If they go to this site through my hoplink and opt in, then they'll be marketed by the owner of the product. 3 months from now, if they want to buy the product, they can just respond to the product owner's emails they are receiving. If they don't opt-in on a sales page, 3 months from now if they decide to buy the product, they might retrace the steps that got them to my site in the first place, then I'll get commission for the sale.

    I've done this myself where I saw a product page and thought it was interesting but didn't want the product on the spot, then months later I decide I did want the product and I can't remember the name. I do remember the search I used or where I was browsing when I ran across it.

      You could be missing on a lot of sales that way. Often the buyer won't buy till they have received a series of emails selling the product. Some of those products over time can be the best converting.

    It can increase your sales conversion with the optin and followup e-mails.

    If it increases the vendors sales then it will increase your simultanously.

    Also the majority of sales are made within the first couple of weeks. I wouldn't worry about losing sales unless the vendor swaps links and makes them order through their own aff link. (Its a technique used to increase vendor gravity)

    Or if their promoting a bunch of other stuff outside of their own product line.
