Hey guys,

I know and have heard there is a way to bypass the CB sales page, to go direct to the checkout.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

Here is how:

http://1.YOURCBID_AFFID.pay.clickbank.net

Where YOURCBID is your CB Affiliate ID and AFFID is the Affiliate id of the product vendor.

All the best

Sean

  You need to know two things ...
  
  (i) You must (for obvious reasons) have the vendor's permission to do this;
  
  (ii) You won't be setting your affiliate cookie on your prospective customers' computers, so it's like "using ClickBank but choosing not to use their cookie system", if you do that.

OK great thanks for that guys... I've been reading and I believe there is a way to set the cookie as well. Thanks though!

  I guess I can't see any reason why I would be upset if one of my affiliates did this. I assume you're going to test this method versus linking to the sales page, and see which approach performs better?
  
  Definitely let the vendor know you're going to do this, though - if only to be polite.
  
  Thanks

  It can - depending on the affiliate's traffic - dramatically affect the refund-rates: some vendors have specific comments/explanations on the sales page which they feel they need customers to have read before buying.
  
  There can also be legal/regulatory considerations involved, if there are specific disclaimers which customers have to have read before paying.
  
  And there are some vendors who've spent a fortune on their own copy, consider that it will convert better than anything an affiliate could possibly use in its place, and think (not always correctly!) that if they say "no" to all such requests, the affiliates asking will decide to use the vendor's page anyway. :confused:

  For all the reasons mentioned above, plus "as a courtesy", plus "because ClickBank's rules require it."
  
  Thanks

  Interfering with Clickbank's affiliate tracking system, including this technique often referred to as "cookie stuffing", is specifically against the TOS, and could lead to termination of your account. Compare what you read to what is permitted by Clickbank.

Why would you have to talk to the vendor about this? I mean after all you are promoting HIS product, right?

  Just because it's kind of weird. And a vendor can ask ClickBank to block a particular affiliate from promoting his or her product. So, instead of making them figure out what you're doing, and why, it's probably best to just contact them and briefly explain it. You're hearing it straight from the horse's mouth (I am a ClickBank vendor.)
  
  Thanks

  It's easy for the affiliate to misrepresent the product and
  claim it can do lots of stuff... when it really can't.
  
  Thanks
