Clickbank Help? Can YOU Answer?

You need to create an account with clickbank and get the hoplink that click bank creates. Then you need to place that link on a website or forum or whatever avenue you want to. Do you have a website?

Do a search on sell.cgi

Make sure you narrow it down to ClickBank.

You'll be able to 'exactly' what you outlined in your OP.

Peace,

Hi, thanks for your reply, but that isn't the question that I am asking. You see, what I want to do is to create a sales page, capture names on this page and once someone enters their email address, they will then be redirected to the "Enter Credit Card Info Page" of the affiliate site.

There is a way that you can do this. This is what I want to know. It has something to do with creating one pixel in an iFrame and adding this to a page.
So what happens is, someone comes to my capture site, I capture their email address, they watch a video containing the information about the product, the click to buy and are taken directly to my affiliates site where they can pay. They don't go to the home page of the affiliate site where the affiliate tries to capture their name and email address as well. (This is like trying to sell to the customer twice).

They are taken directly to the page where they enter their credit card info. And throught this process, I get credit for the sale.

I hope that clarifies what I am looking for.

I want to know how to set up this pixel in an iFrame that contains my affiliate info and takes the customer directly to the pay page of the affiliate site.

Thanks,

Mike

hmmm...that's pretty tempting to learn. I thought about doing that but thought it was impossible to do. Once you find out, PLEASE let me know as well.

Hi tecHead,

I did a google search for "sell.cgi" and here is what I came up with:

Show & Sell is a Free CGI Perl 5 script which allows you to set up and log the display of clickable advertisements on your web site.

This isn't what I am hoping to find out how to do. Do you have another suggestion or is there something that I am missing?

Thanks, appreciate it.

Mike

Thanks tecHead, I appreciate any help.

I've done this... it's like this:

http://www.clickbank.net/sell.cgi?YO.../1/PRODUCTNAME

EDIT to make this work:

after the ? add your clickbankID_sellerclickbankIS/1/productname

If you have trouble finding out the seller and product name go to ClickBank Affiliate Marketing - ClickBank Products | CBGraph and check it out there.

Check out the post and video on this blog. Disclosure: I am not affiliated in anyway with this site, I found it doing a google search for "sell.cgi"

Check it out here

Register as a Vendor is your first step. Then follow the instruction from Clicbank.

You need permission from the vendor if you're going to bypass their salespage.

Three steps.

1. Create an product hoplink through clickbank for the product you are selling. Copy this to a text editor such as notepad, and save this for later.

2. In your autoresponder (if you don't have one, get one), you should be able to create a signup form. When creating it, put the clickbank hoplink in the form field that says 'followon url' or similar, and have it create this form.

3. Copy and save the form into notepad, and when your page is created, copy the code out of the textfile into the lead capture page.

Hi Mike,

I just sent you a message and I see some great links here on the topic. It's a great way to get past really bad sales pages for sure.

I have been getting some great information back and really appreciate everyone's help.

I have sorted through the information and here is the problem that I have found

by creating a link:

Disadvantages:
The normal hoplink takes priority over this link: therefore you will not get commission if your visitor has previously gone through another affiliate's hoplink

The link does not set a cookie: therefore you will not get commission if youre visitor later returns to the site without using that link

This is an unofficial link. It is not listed at the ClickBank site, so it could be withdrawn at any time (though the last time was back in *August 2002).

After you read the disadvantages, then you will understand why I am still seeking information. For example, I know that Keith Wellman talks about creating a one pixel in an iframe and this creates a cookie that will be placed on the website of the viewer.

This is what I would like to learn how to do. Does anyone have any ideas?

I had emailed someone that I look up to for their work and their tools, IM. Jay Jennings. Jay replied to me stating that there might be a slimy feel to placing cookies on a website. I hadn't thought of this process this way at all.

I look at it like the people who stated that you have to get permission from the affiliate to send my customers to the pay page avoiding the sales page.

I would like to hear others thoughts on this. I sure don't want to do something slimy. I was looking at this as a way to do smart business.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Hi, do you mean doing this:

http://kroxas.example.hop.clickbank.net vs http://kroxas.example.pay.clickbank.net

? Because that would send them straight to the payment page, instead of the sales page.

Hope that helps,
Kris Roxas

Roxstar,
Both of the links that you provided are not working.

I believe Scarob2 answered my question of what I was looking for.

I have read somewhere that Clickbank frowns upon iFrames. Is this correct? And by frowning, what I mean to say is that they don't permit it.

Am I wrong on this? Anyone know?

Also, if I get the vendors permission to do this process, are there any drawbacks? I don't want to get in trouble with Clickbank or the Vendor.

My whole thought process is to be ethical and try to have a profitable business. If this process is in bad taste, then I wouldn't do it.

All that I want is to keep the buyer interested in what I am selling.

My thoughts are that if you sell to a buyer and then in order to have this buyer pay for his or her product, they have to go to the Affiliate site landing page and be resold and asked to enter their name and email address again for the second time, my thoughts are that I would lose a lot of customers or buyers.

So I want to be ethical, and not step on any toes.

I would love any comments on this as to the best and most ethical approach to selling an affiliate product from Clickbank where I create my own sales page and capture their email address and then take them to the affiliate page to pay for the product.

I appreciate any advise.
