Click bank products

You should choose a product that most affiliates are promoting. Search in google for that product or keyword and see how many advertisements are there. If there are plenty adds then that is a sign of good product to promote as alot of people are investing money on that keyword.

Hope that helps!

My advice here is to forget gravity!

Look more at the Referred %, this is the amount of sales being referred to by affilaites!

Also,

I am promoting a product that has zero gravity, its brand new, and it is converting like crazy. I made the decision to promote it as the salespage converted me! (Very important IMO)

If I felt like buying to check out the product and didn't have the problem it was offering the solution too, then a desperate buyer with the problem is likely to lap it up!

Also, I like to promote a SALESPAGE, not a GLORIFIED OPTIN page. I like to send traffic to a sales page without all the bells and whistles that offer distractions to the buyer!

I do not take notice of Gravity and if the salespage converts me, and it isn't a glorified optin page, then I will promote it!

The gravity is only an attribute. You have to use more than gravity.

As for gravity, it has to be not too high (too much competition) and not too low (in this case product does not sell well - except brand new products).

Gravity is calculated using a sliding scale score of 0 to 1 for every sale over the last 8 weeks. The score for a sale is affected by how old the sale is and the number of additional sales referred by that affiliate. (This is the secret ClickBank recipe/algorithm.) Add all those scores up for all sales and viola; an account's gravity. Keep in mind, some accounts sell more than one product (an account can have up to 500 products). They might have a super crappy product that has no sales, but the account could show a higher gravity because they have other products that are selling well. I use the gravity as a gauge, but it's the sales page I focus on. Does it convert me? Will it convert my traffic?

I have had most success with fairly low gravity - 10-30, in lesser known niches. It can be easier to dominate a longtail keyword to get cheap or low cost traffic.

Promoting clickbank products is not just about gravity.

For one the product could have a high gravity and you still make no sales. It all comes down to you doing proper market research and finding out if there is a hungry market for the product.

The sales page along with the existence of willing buyers in the niche are what matter. If either is missing you'll have a hard time with it. There are tons of opportunities with relatively low gravity products. In the IM niche the best keyword phrase is the exact name of the product, unfortunately, if the product is very popular there will be tons of competition for that phrase.

In other niches, or even in the IM niche if the product hasn't gone through a big product launch, you can often target longer tail keywords related to what the product does rather than its name.

Think also about what source of traffic you are going after. Is it through article marketing, top SERP positions for free organic traffic, a combination of Web2.0 posts with links pointing to a blog promoting it, PPC, etc. You should also look at the anticipate traffic you can get. Even if you are making a small amount in sales if you can drive traffic to your page and opt them in to your own list you can market to them over and over. Some niches don't always warrant list building as much as others.

In the IM niche you really need great bonuses to convince visitors to buy through your links. In other niches bonuses aren't often used. You need to look at the big picture and think about how you will get traffic, how well the sales page can convert, and whether the niche lends itself to building a list from visitors to your page.

When I promote something, I look at a few factors.

Support - will they communicate quickly with my buyers.

EPC - What's the earnings per click? (1.50 or higher)

Quality - will this product really help who I'm selling to?

Want - Do they really want it?

The best way is to keep looking through their listings until you find something that you would want to buy. Then sell it.

Normally every product has its own time, like valantinesday, christmas, and other festivals gift items will sell more, in that time we should use what is hot in that particular period. We should pick perfect product from clickbank, commission junction, amazon, or ebay etc.

In my experience TV episodes product will sell more because you have much choice in this category. And I read about a good product in internet.
Some people are eager to earn money in casino, poker games, but they cannot make sure that companies are genuine or not. When they lose their money, they will find the cheat casino and poker companies before they invest to play.

Click bank provides the casino cheat finder software, you can have a good chance to sell those who have despaired to earn money without losing his own money. Search it in click bank , you will find it.

cheers!

John,

The referred % is more important to me than Gravity as it shows affiliates are actually selling the product in question and it isn't just sales from the owner of the product etc.

Again though, the biggest thing I look for is if the salespage converts me and if it is what it is meant to be.....A SALESPAGE!

This is the most important thing over any type of stats CB give you! IMO!

I like CBEngine. It breaks down the metrics into graphs. Gravity should be looked at not as a static number but is it rising or falling off.

Well, you shouldn't base alone on gravity while that might serve as an indication that it does sell. However, the best way to actually test a product on Clickbank before you go full fledged with your marketing campaign is to use PPC.

Just worked out the buying keywords, setup a simple Adwords, drive 1000 targeted clicks and monitor the conversion. It will tell you whether or not you should spend more time on it. But it's the fastest way while a lot people might disagree with me.

Good luck!

I'm not going to give my own comments, I'm just going to recommend you go listen to Travis Sago's take on this. Run over to Watch Us Put Clickbank Checks In Mom's Mailbox (From Start To Finish) and listen to his take on selecting a niche, finding the product on clickbank, and his explanation of Gravity. The videos are very informative and fun to listen to.

@KansasDragon -- Thanks that is really useful.

One other point I'd like to mention is many marketers get hung up on trying to promote high priced products because of the high affiliate commissions. I've recently discovered that many low priced products are doing extremely well and thus I'm taking a closer look at promoting them instead.

The products I'm referring to are not sexy or using outlandish sales letters and are generally priced for less then $20. Instead they provide high quality info that people are looking for and the niches are not as competitive.

However, with all that said, the KEY point is they sell like hotcakes with very little promoting required.

For marketers using PPC methods to drive traffic that should be music to your ears because now you don't have to worry about spending $20 in order to make a sale for a $47 product in order to collect the $35 commission (poor example I know).

Instead, you can safely spend considerably less on PPC costs and actually make more true profit from a lower priced item because the conversion is so much better.

Respectfully,
Tim

I found gravity to be good but also found it is how you intend to market the products that will achieve results.
