Here's an Idea Adf.ly + Clickbank

by yongnato
7 replies
so last time I posted about how I live in indonesia and skeptical about people buying stuff with their credit card.

but I'm pretty sure that most people who reads my blog will want to look at the link I gave them.

here's an idea... I would want to shorten my hoplink from clickbank to adf.ly format. where I can post this and each time people click skip ads, I would earn a little money. and after they view the link, they might buy it or not. when they buy it, I will earn extra,

question is.. will this interfere with my link? like when people actually opened my hoplink via adf.ly, but when they buy it it won't count as my sales?

Hope someone can enlighten me.

    Hello,

    If after the ad.fly ad, they do buy the product, I am quite sure that it will still count as your sale and it shouldn't mess up the link on Clickbank's side.

    However, I would be careful because adf.ly links have become quite a nuisance online lately, and it can cause negative feelings for potential customers. I don't think you would make enough money from adf.ly to justice this as a strategy, but of course this is just my opinion and feel free to try it!

    Who knows, it could work very well!

    Good luck!

    You're doing something very wrong.

    Why?

    1. Most people who're unfamiliar with interstitial advertising method don't click on "Skip this ad" button because their poor awareness (Apart form that the "Button" appears itself as another ad link). If the visitor would be someone who're really willing to buy your product? You loss lots of money.

    2. $2.00 - $2.50, most common eCPM of adf.ly. Means, you need 1000 clicks to earn couple of bucks. If your CB product is well targeted, with 1000 visitors, you can make few sales through instant buyers even without a list.

    What do you really need to do?

    1. Cloaking the Affiliate link.
    2. Earn money with adf.ly
    3. Both.

        We've nearly all been in that position, at some point.

        Trying to sell ClickBank products without listbuilding, and without understanding the necessary underlying marketing processes involved in selling informational products of that type, is not the answer: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post7110523

        Don't imagine that scattering masked hoplinks around the web is going to produce any income at all. That isn't how it works, and there are reasons for that. Nobody's criticizing you at all for not yet knowing what the reasons are, and why they're going to apply to your scattered, masked hoplinks just like they do to everyone else's, but that doesn't change the facts, I'm afraid.

        To some extent, perhaps. What you really need to do is to acquire knowledge and skills, and don't try to take action until you've done that. It really isn't about "taking action". It's about knowing what action to take, first.

        Your experience is rather limited, then. Large numbers of Warriors have encountered serious problems and loss of income from doing that.

        It makes no sense to let any part of your business be unnecessarily dependent on the continuity, reliability, goodwill or changeable terms of service of a third-party service you don't own or control.

    As far as I know, there are 6 million Indonesian people have credit cards. Whereas the Indonesia country has 250 million people. Yes, there are few Indonesian people use credit card for online shopping, they prefer to use the local bank as their main online transaction.

    You won't find worse traffic sources than adf.ly for targeted traffic. I can't support such idea!
