Clicksure has the most complicated setup process I've ever known.

I'd take Clickbank over it any day of the week.

  Depends on their return policy. Is it just as insane as Clickbank's return policy and if so does everyone know about it and take advantage of it just like Clickbank's?

Hard to say for sure - there are thousands of affiliate networks out there. I don't think ClickSure, JVZoo, Warrior+ have yet reached the scale of ClickBank though.

If you're interested in finding other reputable affiliate networks I can say that I have not had any issues with:

- CJ - Comission Junction
- ShareASale
- Amazon
- AdSense (ok - not affiliate but still, Google is reliable in paying and they get advertisers in all sorts of niches)

I wish I could say the same about a few CPA networks though.

JVZoo and Warrior Plus will probably never become big as ClickBank. Why? Because these retailers/delivery systems/payment handlers is mainly created for us here on WF who's selling stuff on this forum and on other forums. ClickBank have a very huge target group and have large market shares in the main market, while JVzoo and W+ is aiming for a much smaller sub-niche. JVzoo & W+ do also deliver your money through PayPal, a solution that aren't suitable for large payment handling because PayPal tend to freeze accounts that receives "too much" money.

It's more like comparing a huge international bank with your local bank. Your local bank is mainly suited for and are focusing on you & the community while the big international bank can't focus just on one small area & on a few bank customers because their target group are customers/users from all around the world.

Plimus and 2Checkout are both tightening up on their acceptance procedures, and for the same reasons that ClickBank and PayPal are, to some extent: the changing regulatory climate and the demands of their own upline financial service providers. They do this to protect themselves and the continuity of their own businesses, not in order to cause marketers problems.

Clicksure is much smaller, newer, based in China and seems (at least for now) - for those willing to use the service - to have no difficulty in accepting non-FTC-compliant promotions/sales-pages/products rapidly and wisely declined by others mentioned above.

JVZoo and WarriorPlus aren't really comparable at all - they're for WSO's and IM products, and entirely dependent on PayPal anyway.

Commission Junction and Share-a-Sale are different again, though perhaps more comparable with ClickBank in the ways intended by this thread.

ClickBank has been established longer than Google and doesn't really have a direct competitor, more a variety of partial competitors each with significant differences.

  JVZoo has a ton of products that sell every day that are no where near the IM niche, Take a look in the market place under the different categories and you'll see more than just a few
  
  People in the forum just happen to see us in the WSO section which is all IM products and not where other products outside of IM are being sold.

  That's good news because JVZoo's use of PayPal as their only payment processor, is why I've stayed away form putting my products with them.
  
  So we'll see what they come up with as an alternate payment processor
  
  Thanks

link share and cj.com process more sales because they connect large companies like apple and go daddy to affiliates. Although they do not offer as big a selection of digital products as CB, I am sure if they wanted to go in that direction they could.

The #1 Affiliate and Seller Marketplace - Clicksure is growing really fast. I know one of Clickbank's biggest affiliates and he says he switched over to ClickSure.

As for 2Checkout, they're too tight on their rules any more. I won't be using them again.

Clickbank won't approve any products that aren't extremely well done. Plus I think you have to be member of there kabol, their inner circle, now a days. Otherwise you'll just waste yoru time andn your 50 bucks trying to get approved. It's such a waste. They've seeminly just completely shut the doors to new businesses.

This is completely wrong. They've just become a little stricter, for the reasons explained above, about accepting things where either the product or the sales page breaks laws or regulations. Thankfully for all of us, in the long run.

If you really want to display your prejudices, and expect anyone to take you seriously, at least try to get your facts right: you can't even pay the 50 bucks until after your product's been approved.

Commission junction is Clickbank's biggest competitor and also has a much larger variety of products including physical products. But the main difference is that you have to get approved for offers individually unlike Clickbank where, once you sign up with them, you can promote any of the products that they offer.

Clicksure is far from their biggest competitor - many of the products there are ones that CB rejected or kicked off in the summer due to their changes. CB is well run but not perfect by any means.

I assume your question from the perspective of a vendor in which case I would say stick with CB.

As an affiliate you will find many alternatives depending on your niche - many of them are related to physical products. In health there is Moreniche and Markethealth (among others).

JVZoo.com rules=)

And click2sell.eu - very cool service

Plimus.com is very strict, do not recommend to sell "how to make money" products there.

Payspree.com - good service

Paydotcom.com - old and also not bad alternative

But jvzoo is better

I don't think that Clickbank has an exact competitor because all of Clickbanks competitors are too small to compete with them. But in case you wanted alternatives to Clickbank I would direct you to Plimus, Clicksure, JVzoo, and WarriorPlus.

  Good luck, there. Can you do a credit-card chargeback, if you have to?
  
  Call me prejudiced (which I may be), but when I hear "Clicksure", because I instinctively think "The people in China who accept all the products declined by ClickBank, 2Checkout and others for legal, regulatory and ethical reasons", I'd half expect their promotions to have been decined elsewhere, so I'd need a really good reason to buy anything there. :p

  I am curious if the answer changes based on what the OP is trying to do. If its affiliate marketing and want to promote, jeez there are tons, my fav being Linkshare and Shareasale outside the MMO niche.
  
  If it is for product sales I am curious. I am working on one course right now, but I am going to do it physical given the size and depth (and price) of the product. ClickBank won't let you do physical, digital only. I am curious everyone's work with Paydotcom since they do allow for physical products. Is it good that its run by Filsaime?
  
  I am curious about JVZoo for physical products as well

I am sure there are many alternative payment processing company that people can choose. If you have a product that is not base on IM or MMO, I think there should be much problem getting it approved by them. But currently, it seems that many people are using the Clicksure services.

Nobody, as yet, can bring the affiliate power that Clickbank can, especially outside of the IM/Makemoney niche.

Show me one product developer making $25 million on JVZoo, Clicksure or anywhere else. Clickbank has dozens making millions/year because of the sheer number of affiliates they have.

The only real option besides CB for a product developer outside the IM niche is to go to the networks. But that's a lot more difficult than paying a $50 fee and getting approved.

Clicksure is great if you are the 'gun and mask running into a bank' kind of seller. Other than that, it's nothing but garbage from what I've seen.

PDC is really good and has been for a while. I love the Warrior Plus system because of all the info you get.

My favorite is still infusion though. The networks always have issues.

That's one of the big weaknesses of PDC. You have to depend on the vendor to pay you. Otherwise it outclasses Clickbank in everything but affiliate numbers.
