Which do you prefer? I have been more successful with Clickbank (in sales), but am receiving more clicks and impressions with Clicksure...So is it like this for everyone? I'm interested in your answer because they are both successful, but i just want to know which one is easier to make a sale with.

    How do you know this, Nicolas?

    I'm not trying to suggest you're wrong, but it seems "interesting", to me, to be comparing an absolutely huge company, established longer than Google, which has paid out about $2.5 Billion to its affiliates and vendors (ClickBank) with a newish company located in China who seem to specialize in accepting all the products and sales pages wisely declined by all the other affiliate networks over legal/regulatory/ethical issues. :confused:

    Call me biased, but I wouldn't, myself, want to have too much to do with one of those companies. And it isn't ClickBank.

    There are a few views of Clicksure in the forum, anyway. These threads might help you ...

    How easy it is to "make a sale with one" depends on many things about the product and its sales page, your own traffic, your subscribers, the strength of the relationships you've built with them and the weight your recommendations carry. It has very little (if anything) to do with which company is being used as the payment-processor/retailer. (The reliability and security of payments might, though).

    If Clickbank is making you the most money, focus on Clickbank. Get the word out about your affiliate program, and let people know how they can start promoting their affiliate link for profits. Give them a marketing kit so that they dont have to create promotional materials themselves. Yes, affiliates are lazy - so the more work you do for them, the better. But to answer your question.... roll with Clickbank.

    If you are looking for quality product to promote or launching a high quality product that will help people in any niche, go clickbank. (there are useless products in clickbank though, research before you promote to your list)

    If you are launching "get-rich quick" products and friends with the Big Guys that are selling similar type of products, go Clicksure!

    Hope that helps

      It's sure that clickblank really is a success, but just keep in mind that clicksure enables you many clicks, so it's a really big potential for your marketing.
      Thanks

    I have also gotten more clicks with the clicksure products and the JV partners provide swipes and drive promotions.The bad part is, in my opinion is that everyone is blasting the same emails at the same time and it's the luck of the draw for people that open your email versus someone elses.

      Why not use both?

      I'm currently using Clickbank AND Clicksure. For the most part, they provide different types of offers.

      Clickbank offers digital products and you are paid a percentage of the sale as an affiliate. If your customer returns the product...no commission.

      Clicksure is mostly made up of CPA (cost per action or cost per acquisition) and some CPL (cost per lead). You as the affiliate get paid once the action is performed or lead has been acquired and there aren't any refunds. Some of the offers require that customer fill out a form completely or buy the item, but with the some of the CPL, you can actually get paid if the customer only enters a valid email address.This can lead to a much higher conversion ratio for you.

      So, you can promote some of the bigger ticket items from Clickbank and make a nice commission and you can promote some of the CPL offers from Clicksure and make $1 or $2 when someone enters an email address.

      I've found that a nice place for the CPL offers is on a thank you page right after someone opts-in to your list. If they don't give their email a second time, nothing lost...you've already captured them on your own opt-in page.

    I think that you just answered your question right there.

    You need to give both the same amount of targeted traffic and see which one gets you better results. In your case, it seems to me that you are making more sales in CB so keep working with them for now.

      Nobody has mentioned the fact that Clickbank deducts $1 per week from your account until you hit your threshold, or the fact that if you are just starting out and/or get sales only occasionally, that if you don't like this weekly deduction (I call it plain old theft), and if you set your threshold low, the chances are also low you will ever see your check, if that is the only way you can get paid (for international affiliates)....

      That's right folks, if your check amount is low, good luck on that check actually arriving in your postbox. It seems that Clickbank will always claim to have posted the check, but somehow or rather, the check decides to go MIA. This problem doesn't plague big checks, only small checks.

      I have made such complaints directly to Clickbank and never once gotten a proper address on this issue (their support simply avoids answering anything on this). Be forewarned that your account can be deducted all the way to zero, although Clickbank is never satisfied...

      To call Clickbank a scam might be slightly (and only slightly) too harsh, but they are definitely earning a lot of money from deducting from your account. You can call it a haircut, since the Cyprus banking fiasco, but to me, no difference in the words used.

      Haircut = Shaving = Stealing = Thievery

      As for Clicksure, I am not sure (pardon the pun), but I am hoping JVZoo.com gets much bigger soon, and provides a REAL alternative to Clickbank. And JVZoo seems to pay in PayPal as well, unlike Clickbank....

        I'd trust ClickBank as they never let me down. And I like their direct deposit as well

        Nobody mentioned that because it isn't true.

        You're thinking of the Dormant Account Charges, but you've either confused them with the requirement to meet the Customer Distribution Requirement, or you've misdescribed them for some other reason.

        First, that doesn't happen unless and until your account has gone 90 days without a sale.

        Secondly, you can avoid it, any time you like, simply buy buying a $3 product through your own hoplink (that's allowed) and that will reset the 90-day clock.

        Thirdly, it's $1 per pay period, not $1 per week.

        Apart from all that, "well described".

        There's no "weekly deduction" when you're just starting out. There's no "weekly deduction" at all. You just have it all wrong.

        On the contrary, the lower you set your threshold, the more quickly you'll receive a payment. There's nothing particularly difficult or complicated about it.

        The Customer Distribution Requirement is there to protect you: that's what's stops your customers from buying the product through their own hoplink and earning the commission themselves, as a type of discount.

        You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. The "2 checks rule" was changed over a year ago. Nobody (in any country) needs to bank checks, unless they particularly want to. You can get your first payment by either direct deposit or wire transfer, as soon as it's due.

        Only if you haven't read the terms of service, don't know what you're doing at all, and do nothing to prevent that from happening.

        Sorry if you had a bad time with ClickBank through not knowing what you were doing, and not avoiding the Dormant Account Charges, but the "facts" you're presenting here are simply incorrect.
