    Adsense.... I get it, it makes sense.

    Commision Junction.... I get it.

    ClickBank... I am not so sure.

    What is the best way(s) to use ClickBank to make money? I hate to sound stupid but it would be great if somebody could give me an overview of how ClickBank works and what are some good ways to use it.

    It's like Commission Junction with digital products.

    OK, but there are no banners or widgets right? It's just all text links?

    A lot of the products have banners. You have to look to see if each one has an affiliate resources section.

    merchants don't put their banners on clickbank like it is wit CJ. They usually have an affiliate resources page on their site where you can find banners and stuff (usually merchantsite.com/affiliate(s) ). but you still use the affiliate link generated through clickbank.

    So..... let me get this straight....

    Do I create something like a USFREEAD with some text and then my hoplink?
    Do I create blog entries filled with hoplinks?
    Do I create a signature on different forums with a hoplink it it?

    All of the above? None of the above?

    you have hit on what i believe to be the number one affiliate problem. Too much information. Concentrated efforts in one of two directions is much more effective than trying everything.

    Knowing what set of techniques work and how to use them is the real key to succeeding with affiliate marketing

    I had that problem ;) When you are trying to do too many things at once, you will fail, because none of them will work for you.

    The best is to choose one method and concentrate on it. I've written about this in my ebook.

    Some good advice here.
    Clickbank DOES have banners and text links. Some even have video you can use to promote...
