CB Direct Link to Check Out

9 replies
Hey All!

I'm working on an affiliate funnel for a specific Clickbank product. Since the sales page of the product pretty much looks like cr@p, I'd like to make my own sales page which I can split test and track. Most of the work is done, I only need to await permission to make the custom sales page and direct link to the check out page.

However, I somehow cannot get the check out page link to work, I have tried:

ht tp://CB affiliateID.Vendorid.hop.clickbank. net/?rd=order&tid=abc
This one doesn't work with the product I'm promoting, but does work with others.
And:
ht tp://Productnumber.AffiliateID_VendorID.pay.clickbank. net
This one does work, but when scroll down it says
[affiliate = AffiliateID.abc ] instead of [ affiliate = affiliateID ]

Does someone know what to do?

    If you are waiting permission from the vendor to direct link to the checkout page, why don't you simply ask him/her to give you the direct link?

    Most vendors will provide you with the direct link. But they also might want to approve the pre-sales page first.

    Interesting. So I should make the sales page first, then send another email to the vendor with a link to the sales page so he can disapprove or approve it and ask him the direct link?

    The second link should work.
    I think you see "AffiliateID.abc" because you have already cookied yourself with TID=abc when you clicked the first link.

    All CB sales pages now need to install the CB logo script. So if you are going to do direct linking to checkout, I don't know if you need to install that script too.

    Anyone have the answer to this?

    I'm aware of the legal policies Clickbank has for vendors. I'll won't take any risks, so I will install that too, plus the small letters in the footer etc.

    I'll try that cookie thing, thanks!

    Good point. Yes you would need the logo script

    It would make more sense to ask first for permission to have your own sales page in case it is refused.

    The vendor can't give you a direct link, you need to use the one in your first post

    Instead of waiting for permission from vendor for a direct link for the checkout page, you should just ask him about it.Most of them do provide it. But vendors can also feel the need for approval.

    If the vendor decides not to allow you to build your own sales page,
    just use a bridge page instead.

    I use them all of the time to make up for a weak sales page.
