Signing-up For Your Free Account
CB registered address: http://www.clickbank.com/affil...
Clickbank does not currently accept the registration of Chinese users, but you can also choose some of the following affiliate networks:
Getting Your Clickbank Linking Codes
After registering the Clickbank account, you will get a unique link code. Clickbank tracks who clicked your link and purchased Clickbank products with your unique link.
In the CB marketplace, you can access all CB products and get the link code for that product.

For example, you search for “dog training”, and the following is the search result:
The next step is to click on one of the “create Hoplink” of products. In the pop-up page, it prompts you to enter your nickname and tracking ID (optional). Nickname is your CB username, and tracking Id is used to track your sales conversion. It is recommended that each keyword is assigned a tracking ID. For example, my CB nickname is zheng Yong; then the following link will be generated:
http://zhengyong.dogsecrets.hop.clickbank.net
Pay attention not to input the wrong nickname; otherwise, the sales will not be yours. I have made such mistakes before, resulting in all sales owned by others, and wasting a lot of advertising fee.
Using Clickbank Tracking Codes
CB can track product sales, which is one of the reasons why CB is so popular. By adding tracking code, you can monitor and analyse conversions for each campaign, each ad group, and even each keyword.
It is recommended for the promotion of CB products to assign a different tracking Id for each keyword, find the keywords with the highest conversion rate, and remove those who have high flow but low conversion, to save advertising spending.
For instance, we add a tracking code “DOG1” for the above example:
http://XXXX(you’re name).dogsecrets.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=DOG1
Now, if you click on the link above and buy the product, you can analyse the sales of the link in Reporting->analytics of the CB report.

Choosing Products (Gravity, Commission %)
Before you promote CB products, you need to think about what products are worth promoting, which requires an assessment of the standard. Because in CB anyone can add a product to the marketplace, some products are not in good quality, so, usually, these products return to affiliate a very high commission. Some products are not as good as they tout on the Web page, and the return rate of such products is usually very high. Therefore, you can’t make money from such products. So how to determine whether a product is worth our promotion?
Gravity
Gravity is a parameter built on the internal arithmetic of CB, which is calculated by the number of products sold by affiliate after eight weeks of sale. The higher the Gravity of a product is, the more affiliate who is promoting the product there are, or just because “the product is brand new and received a lot of hype”. Therefore, not only to decide whether to promote a product judging from gravity ranking. There are many low-level products are in very high gravity, while there are many very excellent products with very shallow gravity.
Earned/Sale
This parameter means the possible sum of profits of each sale at the point of purchase and CB deduction fees. But this is not the actual number that is shown in your CB account, which is a little different from the money you earn, but it won’t be much worse.
Commission >#/h4###
The commission is calculated by the percentage of each sales amount. For example, if the product you promote is at the price of 97$, your commission is 50%, then, in fact, you can probably get 44$ for every product you sell. Less than you expected, isn’t it? Because CB collects the handling fee, and the CB procedure calculates the formula is:
Product Price – 7.5% – $1.00
Ref >#/h4###
It is the percentage of sales generated by Affiliate and overall sales. The higher the parameter, the higher the success rate of affiliate sales of the product. If the value exceeds 65%, then the promotion of this product is relatively safe, if less than this value, you need to compete with all other opponents to sell the product.
Refund Rate
It is the probability of the product being returned. The return rate of some products is as high as 35%, and the high refund will directly lead to a decline of your ROI (return on investment), so choose the one with reimbursement rate less than 15% when you choose products.
How to Direct Link
Direct link to the merchant page is a viral promotion because you can send traffic to the target page without designing your landing page or Web site.
Here is an example of using AdWords to send traffic directly to the target page:
Headline: Who Loves Money?
Line 1: Do You Love Money? We Will
Line 2: Show You How to Make Money.
Display URL: WhoLovesMoney.com
Destination URL: http://XXXXX（you’are name）.ulovemoney.hop.clickbank.net
Notice that the URL is different from the destination URL. The former is your CB affiliate link, while the latter is sales page to promote products. Be sure you don’t mix up the two URLs, or the consequence is that you can not earn a penny, but also waste plenty of advertising fees. In fact, you can fill the URL as well as the destination URL, but don’t do it unless you don’t want the users to click on your ad.
Clickbank Research Tool
WA provides a CB research tool to help you determine which CB product is worth promoting.
“Momentum” allows you to determine whether a product’s ability to make money is rising or falling, which is an index calculated by the comprehensive analysis of product parameters. High momentum indicates that there are many affiliates successfully promoting the product. On the contrary, a low momentum shows that the number of affiliates to give up the promotion of the product is increasing, which means that the product is on the decline.
The CB research tool address is as follows:

Summary：
CB is usually the first choice of affiliate network for IMs before they get into because it is so usable. You can sell any information products you can imagine in CB as long as it is attractive enough.
To remember, CB is not the unique affiliate network. Do not limit yourselves to the promotion of CB, and try other affiliate networks.
