Hello Warriors!

I thought I would tell a "real life" experience I had a few days ago that might help some newbies avoid some of the non ethical clickbank vendors and subsequently save some time and money. I haven't been doing the clickbank thing for too long but have been in the IM business long enough to know to test everything including the vendor.

Here goes:

I was looking to add one more clickbank product in my niche and found two that had a decent sales page and some affiliate tools, although I rarely use the affiliate tools provided by the vendor. The first one appealed more to me but had a "leak" on the sales page. It asked for an email address from the viewer. I decided to test this vendor and placed the banner code (html) on my website. Once I did that I clicked on the banner from my site with included my clickbank ID. I was then directed to the vendors sales page. From there, I entered my "test" email address. Sure enough a few minutes later I received an email from the vendor. I went thru all the steps and hit the "Buy Now" button which took me to the clickbank checkout page. After I scrolled all the way to the bottom I actually saw my own affiliate id. So far the vendor looks legit and ethical. Not so fast, the next day I received 3 more email from the vendor with links within the email. I tested all 3 emails and guess what....all three emails had the vendors clickbank id. So much for "we will send emails on your behalf". I did email the vendor several times about this to give him a chance to give his side of the story but thus far no response. That's says a lot about the vendor. Needless to say, I ended up choosing the second clickbank product. At least that vendor didn't have a leak.
