Clickbank Affiliate Program article update March 2014. My affiliate marketing post: Affiliate Marketing, What Next? highlights the current problems with Google rankings and affiliate content, basically Google hates thin affiliate content and quickly removes it from the Google search index! If Google hadn’t removed all my automated (datafeeds = big sites fast) affiliate sites from it’s index I’d probably be making well over £200,000 a year just from affiliate and Google AdSense revenue by now. But it did and so I have to move on. At first I looked for ways to make thin affiliate sites that use a datafeed unique, which wasn’t that hard in most cases, but still 3-6 months in Google removed them (manual removal most likely) […]

Clickbank Affiliates Make Money?
This clickbank affiliate sounds interesting.
My father told me about this and i’ve read briefly about it.
I wanted to hear from people who have actually tried it.
My question is do you have to sell your own things (or niche) do they have things to sell as well?
I’m really interested in this if I can make money.
Even if its just an extra 200 dollars a month.

Clickbank Affiliate Program is Free
No you don’t have to sell your own products on the clickbank program, I for example don’t have a clickbank affiliate product (yet, you never know the future :-))
As you can see above in our first month we made over $500, most of this is from one niche clickbank product. Now we are selling two niche products and 2 days from the 2 month point we’ve made over $1,150.
The success appears to be due to putting a lot of effort into the pages that sell the product, we both wrote very detailed and honest reviews of the products (they are very good products as well) and this has resulted in a steady stream of sales from what I consider a low amount of traffic.
I’ve also tried selling clickbank products without a review and so far over the last month not made a single sale!!
So my experience is you really have to put some time into supporting the clickbank products you want to sell, otherwise you won’t made any money!

How to Promote your Clickbank Affiliate Products?
Hi Dave, found your post “Affiliate Marketing, what’s next” after searching around why Google suddenly banned all my amazon mini sites. I feel a bit frustrated knowing all those hard works just gone in one day.
Anyway, I can see that you have tried to use clickbank for your next affiliate project. My question is, have you tried to build a minisite to sell a clickbank product? Perhaps you can offer me some ideas. The reason why I like selling physical products is that because there are a lot of them in 1 niche, e.g. home appliances, gadgets, etc. I can blog about 2-3 products in particular niche each day. While clickbank is an informational product, it would be weird to post about different ebook in a website.
Would you please be kind in sharing some of your tricks to promote your clickbank page? PPC or pure SERP ?
Thank you

Selling Clickbank Products
It is interesting to read about your success with Clickbank. I may have made a mistake. Just recently I put my clickbank stuff on the back burner and have been promoting Affiliate programs only. I am doing it differently and started using WEB2.0 and add content to it daily, usually reviews and the like. I learned quickly the search engines hate copy cat affiliates sites but they live open source sites with fresh content added frequently.
Although, seeing your success I may change my mind and possible start a new site selling Clickbank products. Figuring out where to start and what products to sell will be my biggest hurdle.
Thank you for the informative post.

Google LOVES Resource Sites
Something to keep in mind. Google LOVES resource sites. A resource heavy site with some targeted anchor text links will out rank a non resource web site that is ranking on large link numbers alone.
Utilize the title, description, header and sprinkled relevant text into the body of new pages until you rank where you want to and then keep doing it. It works every time. It may take some time, but it will work.

I enjoy Clickbank too. Once you find a good product to promote effectively – recurring payday is inevitable. I also enjoy clix galore and paydot.com
Reviewing Clickbank Products
I think the aspect of reviewing the clickbank product is the best advice you could give.
I also have clickbank affiliate products on my site, yet sales are few and far between.
Also, the problem with some clickbank products is that they drive visitors away from your core solution, as some are dodgy in there own rights.
I think the trick is to pick the optimal solution, review it, and post.
