Hi David
Thank You very much for your blog.Is very useful and full of valuable informations about how to make money online.

Clickbank is not perfect, most of the products are overprice or just useless. But everyone can find a few good products to promote and make sales.

I’ll agree with your statement that 1 good product and 9 bad ones are on clickbank. Lots of marketers just rehash other or eachothers products because they have a name(now that they successfully sold something on clickbank) they can get away with it

i just recently signed up with Clickbank and so far i earn some good cash from them. Clickbank is advisable for blogs and websites who receive mostly US traffic.

Hi David,
Just refering back to what Hann was saying there,im basically in the same boat as her, I would be known as a newbie for all of this and after much extended research over the past few months have seein all types of blogs and claims in which case yours being one of the most genuine so far.

Information your providing is both intersesting and useful, trying to compete with affiliates thats bein in the game for years is tough and at the present minute im not making much money but will look at it as a learning curve threw trial, as the saying goes the bird will never fly without leaving the nest right?

Hi David,

Thank you very much for your inspirational blog and methods to make money online. With all the hype that’s going around the web to striking it rich, it’s difficult to determine which method works and which doesn’t. I’ve found this blog extremely informative and honest.

As for your Clickbank product reviews, I know you talked about promoting them solely through SEO and getting organic traffic but you also have the advantage of having a PR4 website so that makes indexing your content a lot quicker then most.

How would you recommend going about promoting Clickbank products for people with completely new websites? Do you do any directory submissions or bookmarking for your product reviews?

I’ve created a website at muscle-gaining.com which compares ebooks from Clickbank but I have lost nearly $50 on Adwords trying to drive clicks and sales. I’ve tried promoting weight loss offers from Neverblue Ads and made about $40. I then made about $20 through eBay websites so I’m still learning the affiliate game.

Even though I’m down overall, I still see it as progress but it’s just so difficult seeing that there are already so many established websites so not only is it difficult finding an affiliate offer, but it’s also difficult to compete with people who have been in the game for years.

I guess I need a little morale booster

Hi Matthew,

I get to my review pages with a web browser

As you can appreciate not going to post here a list of products I’m promoting since that will result in more competition which equals less sales for me!

I rely completely on SEO means for traffic, I write SEO optimized product reviews and gain organic search engine traffic to them.

My Clickbank sales have died this week-

Daily Sales Snapshot
Sun Dec 07 $20.31
Sat Dec 06 $0.00
Fri Dec 05 $65.60
Thu Dec 04 $0.00
Wed Dec 03 $59.18
Tue Dec 02 $60.93
Mon Dec 01 $0.00
Sun Nov 30 $16.27
Sat Nov 29 $68.32
Fri Nov 28 $20.75
Thu Nov 27 $66.48
Wed Nov 26 $59.23
Tue Nov 25 $21.24
Mon Nov 24 $170.92
Sun Nov 23 $58.39

That’s working out around 1 sale a day, I’ve not had two no sales days in a week for at least a couple of months and I’ve had three days like this, so a very bad week!

A Clickbank product just updated, I got a lot of new traffic a week or two a ago (extra 1,000 visitors a day to reviews)-

2008-12-10 (current week) $145.09
2008-12-03 $291.98
2008-11-26 $644.34
2008-11-19 $1,376.81
2008-11-12 $497.62

And now the hype has died down AND new affiliates have come into the market my review pages have suffered in the SERPs!

As a side note the publisher of the Clickbank product has increased his prices and this has meant more money per sale, but my hop ratio is terrible at 91 hops per order, was around 30-40 per order, (this is for all products, the particular product is at around 140 hops!!) so not making as much money because of a big product price increase.

Also got a heck of a lot more refunds, in a two week period I’d have one refund, this last two weeks it’s 9 refunds so bringing down my sales!

So how exactly do you get people to your review pages? Do you use article marketing, ppc, seo? I signed up for clickbank about a month ago, and finally found a good product that made me about $220 last week. I’m looking to get that number to about $1,000 weekly and would like to accomplish this fairly quickly.

Well that’s weird. I realised the weekly figures I gave in my comment is a lot lower than the weekly figure in my post, so checked Clickbank snapshot reports page.

On the main report page it says:

2008-10-01 (current week) $295.92
2008-09-24 $875.80
2008-09-17 $274.57
2008-09-10 $249.12
2008-09-03 $93.84

When I click on the link to the week ending 2008-09-24 (should see $875.80) I get:

Displaying all 67 results. Total: $1,108.99

Over $200 more for the week!

OK figured it out.

Clickbank is over lapping periods when you click the weekly link. I’m seeing the 24th sales used from two weeks sales periods.

So it’s the last day for 2008-09-24 period AND the first day for 2008-10-01 period, effectively counting the sales twice!

They are actually counting 8 days sales for the week!

The main snapshot page is right, so I made $875.80 for the week 2008-09-24 not over $1,100.

BTW on the 24th I got an extra sale, made $233.19 in total, my best day yet.
