This is the very first time that I read something nasty about clickbank - I guess they are pretty good!
CB is a reputable affiliate network. As suggested above, they have these policies in place to prevent affiliates using CB simply to purchase products using their own aff links.
I've never ran into any problems regarding being paid by them. They usually always pay on time and pay out correctly, they are certainly not a scam.
yes, the click bank affiliate marketing site is a white collar scam. They should be shut down. I don't care what other posters above say. Bad ethics, unmoral and they don't pay out! they owe me over $300 and refuse to give it to me unlike what one staff member said via email but I haven't meet their stupid unrealistic criteria(5 credit card payments) as any savvy web shopper won't pay via credit to this scamming site as they pay via paypal. I won't be ripping of any one else to get my money. I have a conscious and like my sleep.
I have made around $132 and have request payment and still nothing, will never build another wesbites for clickbank again.........
The 5 credit cards rule is nothing to be mad about, it is easily overcomed and it is only one time, when first creating a clickbank account, after it's fine. In that case you could whine about another thing: the fact that before being allowed to be paid by wire transfert you first need to be paid by check 2 times. That's another stupid rule, but it's their rules, it is not hidden whatsoever.. Talking about stupid rules we could talk about adsense's rules, some are very stupid, and also about Kontera's rules, they have a few stupid ones too.. But it's their rules, like the stupid copyright laws, we can whine about them or simply adapt to them, comply and focus on other things.. We need to keep a positive mindset about things, otherwise it's easy to see all the stupidity around us and become depressed, life is short, so better make the most of it despite all the stupid rules and stupid people we have to bear with.
Yes clickbank its a big scam bank. No one order to click bank. Realy dont buy any thing from clickbank. Its a big scam bank.
