Clickbank Hoplinks

Hey Zak, you will need a special script in order to do this. If you like, you can PM me for a script, but you will need some technical skill to set it up. Otherwise, there are products out there that will help you do this easily.

Here is one such product...
Turbo-Charge Your ClickBank Affiliate Program - CBMultiLink allows you to offer your affiliates a choice of landing pages, cloaking, and more.

We seem to be mixing up several issues in this thread.

From your post, I understand you are a ClickBank vendor. Starting from there:


1. Firstly, if you want to sell multiple products from a single ClickBank account, yes you can do it. You can add up to 500 different products to your account.


2. Secondly, within each product's pitch page (sales letter), you use a different payment link for each product

Product 1: http://1.yourclickbankvendorid.pay.clickbank.net
Product 2: http://2.yourclickbankvendorid.pay.clickbank.net
etc.
(actually the product ids can contain letters as well as numbers, your choice, if you want)

The payment link, when clicked takes the customer to the ClickBank secure order form, and then after they pay, to the Thank You (the page where the customer downloads the product) for the product.

3. Your affiliates can link to your website using a hop link. If they do so, the affiliates will earn a commission if they refer a sale.

Hop links are of the form:

Please note: Hop links are not the same as payment links!


4. ClickBank's standard system only allows a single landing page that all your affiliates must use for all your products. (this is set in the HopLink Target URL setting within your ClickBank account).

This is a major limitation

It means that if you sell multiple products, then your affiliates can't link directly to the individual sales-letter for the particular product they are promoting.

Similarly if you want to sell the same product to different audiences, then your affiliates must all use the same landing page. Imagine for example you are selling a diet product targeted at both men & women. For female-orientated affiliate web sites, you might want to offer a different sales-letter as from male-orientated web sites.

As Miles mentioned, there is a way round this. You can use scripts, on your web server to give your affiliates a choice of landing pages, including product-specific and audience specific landing pages.

Here is a video explaining in more detail:


If you use CB MultiLink (there are of course other solutions on the market as well), your affiliates simply need to use hop links of the format

Any affiliate link using a "standard" ClickBank hop link (without the pid parameter) will direct to traffic to a page of your choice on your site (your home page for example)/
