    Are people here making decent money with ClickBank are taking in consideration any of these criterias while choosing a product?

    - Alexa Rank
    - Google Page Rank
    - Clickbank's refund rate

    I'm asking this, since I have a little success with it, but wish to know others oppinions.

    Here's my way to choose a clickbank product:

    I visit the sales page and check its alexa rank's and Page rank's.
    If alexa rank is below 200000 and its Pagerank is above 1 then I try to calculate it's refund rate to see if it's really worth.

    Because sometimes high-gravity doesn't mean you'll have a wining product to promote, I take in consideration its refund rate too.
    Example of high refund rate : "Blogging to the bank 2.0" has a refund rate of 35% whereas its gravity = 120,65 . uhh!!

    Here is the formulate to calculate the refund rate of a Clickbank's product, for those who don't know:

    100x($EarnedPerSale/(ProductPrice x Commission/100))

    If refund rate is above 25% then I avoid the product.

    And off-course, I read the sales page as if I was a real visitor. And I say to myself if I would real buy that product?
    If not, then why wasting my time and money on it

    I would make a site with mutiple products for the topic. I am sure you have seen the review sites advertise on adsense with clickbank links. If you have mutiple links with high rate of sales you should do better than one product.

    The refund rate is calculated manually on each product.

    You need to go to clickbank's market place then collect the $/sale value shown for the product. And get the "%/sale" column also.
    After that you need to go to the sales pages and get the exact price.

    example:

    $/sale: $27
    %/sale: 75%
    Price: $47

    so (47x75)/100 = $35.25/sale (logical affiliate commission)

    but as you see the real money you make after refund is $27. So to get
    the refund rate apply then:

    100 - (($27x100)/35.25) = 23.4% refund rate

    In my first post the calculation for the refund rate was not exact Sorry.

    Real formula is:

    100 - (($PerSale x 100) / ((Price / %PerSale) / 100))

    Finally, sometimes the refund rate can't be calculated correctly on some clickbank products since the owner tends to propose different prices in a period of time, so it make the value wrong since the $/sale is an overall value.

    So each product refund rate must be calculated manually most of the time.
