Hi All Does anyone know if I can send buyers direct to the clickbank product buy page and avoid the sales page? Steve
Everyone here knows that you can't. If you have a top quality LP and you don't think the vendors' sale page is well enough, you can contact them and tell them your advice. If they can't accept what you said, you can promote others' products.
Actually yes, you can. In quite a few ways. User comes to your site, they click your continue/buy link: That link goes to a redirect page which has a 1x1 pixel with your hoplink in it, then it redirects again to the pay page hxxp://1.product.pay.clickbank.net... (replace xx with tt) Yes you're cookie stuffing HOWEVER it's ON THE CLICK not on the page load, so no you're actually stuffing because if they leave the page nothing happens, they are not cookied, if they intended to buy and clicked the buy/continue button, it's safe to serve the cookie and redirect. There's scripts that do this for you as well i.e. check this section and scroll down until you see 'bypassing payment link' < This works in the way the above works. *Your vendor has to have this setup though. Don't use the underscore aff_vendor method as that doesn't overwrite cookies and you'll have to be the first to serve it if you want to see your name on the bottom of the pay page...
Very interesting. Just wondering if you have had more success directing traffic straight to the pay page than directing them to the merchants page first? Thanks for sharing.
