Getting Your Clickbank Linking Codes

Once you have signed-up for your account, you will be able to grab your own unique linking codes. These codes will tell the Clickbank network when someone has clicked on your link and has purchased a product. The unique linking codes will tally a sale in your Clickbank account, which will show you exactly what product you sold, who the buyer was & their email, when it was sold, and how much you earned from the sale.

To get access to the linking codes for all the products on Clickbank, you will need to go to the Marketplace.

http://www.clickbank.com/marketplace.htm

This is the database of all the products that are on Clickbank and you can search for products according to the criteria that you specify (we will get into "which" products to promote in the next section).

In this example, we typed "dog training" into the search. Here are the results that we received.

The next thing you are going to need to do is click the "create hoplink" button. A window will pop up asking you to input your Clickbank nickname and tracking ID (optional). To create your link you will want to input the Clickbank nickname that you chose upon signing-up. To demonstrate this, we are going to create a link under the first "dog training" product using the nickname "kylecarson".

Here is the link that was generated:

http://kylecarson.dogsecrets.hop.clickbank.net

It is important to use this URL if you want to get credit for the sale when promoting this product. If you do not have your account nickname inserted in the URL, then you will not get credit for sales, thus giving the product owner "free" traffic.
