Clickbank newbie ...

Hi, Teena. This happens to be my first post. I have done CB for over a year, and I can be frustrating but rewarding as well.

There is currently no way to search in the CB Marketplace. You have a couple of options:

1. Download a free copy of "Affiliate Alert". You get limited ranking info as well.

2. Go to www.cbtrack.com.

There are a couple of others, but these two seem to do it for me.

Hi Kay,

Thanks for the tips! Unfortunately Affiliate Alert is only for Windows [.exe] so I can't open that on my Mac ... shame.

I did have a look at CBTrack.com and it looks great - a search engine for ClickBank - now why didn't ClickBank think of that? I am a database lover so to see all that info categorised makes my heart sing - thanks!

Hey Patty, to be honest, I think a lot of people will sign up as an Affiliate via your site - this is what I do - rather than find products at the clickbank site. Maybe people will search for your product category and the word affiliate in google, and find you that way? Good luck.

Cheers and thanks,
Teena

Hi Patty,

I had to set up 1shoppingcart recently for a client, and it's a great system with the affiliate tracking. I also loved the way it can accept paypal and other payment systems - we included 2checkout, to give customers a choice.

If you've already paid for 1shoppingcart, why not see if you can track your affiliates through that, rather than clickbank? Does clickbank charge an upfront fee to have your product? I'm guessing it does. If it isn't too much, perhaps you're better off letting it slide, then you won't have to pay the high affiliate fees, then manage your own afiliates through shoppingcart.

Or give clickbank 3 months trial, and re-evaluate after that.

Cheers,
Teena

Hi Teena,

Yes, I've definitely decided to stay (or switch over) to 1shoppingcart.com

This way, I can also offer my customers a print version and a digital version, too.

I've been finding some really cool features that I didn't even know it had!

Clickbank was $49, which I did already pay, but oh well.. I also found out that they (Clickbank) keeps 3 months reserve when you first start, too.

I have a full merchant account with Authorize.net, so I think I'll be quite satisfied with this integration of everything.

Thanks for your help!
