    It was posted into the Clickbank News section when you log into your account. You can see the whole new list here: New Clickbank Categories

    Here is the text of the original announcement below (don't you people ever read the clickbank news? ;):

    Marketplace Changes
    ClickBank is launching a new and improved Marketplace in January! The primary goal of the Marketplace redesign is to make it easier for affiliates to find products to promote.

    The first change to the Marketplace is the introduction of new categories and subcategories. The new categories are more specific and descriptive. These new categories will improve the browsing experience for our affiliates, allowing you to more easily find interesting and relevant products to promote. The entire list of new categories and subcategories is available in the ClickBank Help Center.

    This is great news for our vendors, too, because making it easier for affiliates to find and promote good products increases the likelihood of sales. In addition, more categories mean more opportunities to be at the top of the Marketplace category and subcategory rankings.

    If you are a vendor, you can view your future Marketplace category and subcategory under Future Marketplace Category in the My Site section of the Account Settings tab.

    If you do not agree with your categorization you can request a change on the My Site page. These new categories do not go into effect until the new Marketplace launches in January.

    In January, we will also unveil enhanced search. The improved Marketplace search will also make it much easier for affiliates to locate relevant products to promote. This robust search functionality will even take the vendor's HopLink Target URL into account when producing results!

    It certainly sounds like a good move on their part. Additional categories and enhanced search will make it easier to get value from their site.
