What's up with the popups on most of the clickbank products. Almost every site has a popup where you are basicly forced to enter your mail. In my eyes this is very bad for the promoter. People that fill in there email adres might be contacted later and still signup but without your id. Our is this being tracked?
Depends on the publisher. In theory, it is actually a good thing. A visitor comes to the product page via an affiliate link, does not purchase, but submits their email address. Clickbank also plants a cookie with the affiliate ID. Then, the publisher follows up via email and can try to convert the visitor into a sale. As long as the cookie has not expired, the affiliate still gets the commision, and has benifited from the power of email marketing. However...some publishers are idiots, and try to steal the commision by planting their own affiliate links in the emails. That is just bad for business and any publisher who does that will eventually loose all of their affiliates. Capturing email addresses of potential leads and using emails to follow up and make the sale is a good thing for both the publisher and the affiliate. As long as everyone plays by the rules.
Yeah the opt in pops are awesome, as long as the publisher doesn't have a separate affiliate account and steals your commission. If the product has a good gravity then you should do fine.
thanks for your replies thats good to know.. but then again pushing the user to enter there email when they are just 10 to 20 seconds on the site is a bad thing. An form to enter your email is a good thing to build a list and make even more money of your users but I don't think popups are the right way especially the ones that can't be closed and reopen 10 times a second. Im looking for a good product to promote on my blog seolust dot com any advice? I'm planning to make a banner under all the posts related to seo. Something with free backlinks. Thanks
