Doubling up with Clickbank and PayDotCom

5 replies
Anyone here publishing info products on both Clickbank and PayDotCom for the same product? Seems like a good way to use both your .com and .net domains and tap into two affiliate networks. As long as the price and commission structure was the same to avoid upsetting affiliates and customers alike.

Are there negatives to doing this that I'm just not seeing?

    That's a good idea to use 2 separate domains. I'm also curious to see if anyone else is doing this.

    The thing I'm worried about is refunds with PayDotCom... I would think you have to set the refund period (if offering a money back guarantee) on the PDC sales page to something like 30 days so you don't credit too many affiliates for sales that will be refunded after you already paid them.

    I did for a while with bloggingwithpride.com and internetmarketingtrio.com and nobody showed any great interest with both. How i did it was have paydotcom on couk and clickbank with the com.

    however once i removed paydotcom and then forwarded the couk domain it shot up in affiliate sales.

    there is very few that will avoid you because your on just one so go with your favourite.

    Hi Guys
    That's a great thread,I'm doing this with both Clickbank and Paydotcom
    But there are something I don't understand,you are talking about using 2 different domains
    one on each.
    what's the diference or what wrong in using only 1 domain with both?

    Thank's

    PDC has way lower traffic, so sales are less.

    But its easy since PDC allows to customize payouts - so you can JV with other people and make them a special offer and pay them via PDC.

    Nothing speaks against having a product and make a number of payment pages for the same product, one page with clickbank payment link, one with paypal, one with PDC. Its just minimal changes. That's how i usually do it.

      I can see 2 things wrong with using CB & PaydotCom (or any 2 or more payment processors) on the same domain.

      1. Affiliates worried about leakage. If I was thinking about promoting a product through PDC and seen that a CB checkout option was offered on the front page I would move on to the next product (same thing the other way around). If a customor I referred decided not to purchase immediately but decided to type in the URL a day later, I might lose the sale depending on the checkout option they're presented with.

      2. Duplicate content - I have one site getting almost 3000 uniques a month (that's about 30 sales at the rate I'm converting) through organic search engine traffic. I don't completely understand the duplicate content "penalty" but from what I hear you shouldn't have duplicate content on the same domain. I suppose you could just alter the sales letter for each page you dedicate to a payment processor, but who really wants to go through the trouble and have conversion rates all over the place?

      I may be overthinking this, but I would rather be safe than sorry and stick with 2 separate domains.
