Is it possible to link to a CB product using your affiliate ID but making it go straight to the payment page rather than the hop page?
I also think so. Getting directly to payment page is not possible , but I think it depends on the vendor of product. I have just seen a DP member launching his product with this title: "*MegaLaunch! Multiple Sales Pages: Go Direct To Payment: We Hide Your Links: 75% Comm". So you may check this out or contact vendor directly.
You can do that: Your buy now button or link should link to clickbank.net/sell.cgi?YOURID_MERCHANTID/ProductNumber/ProductName Code (markup): * YOURID which is your ClickBank ID * MERCHANTID the merchant’s ClickBank ID * ProductNumber * ProductName
Yeah you can do this, the only negative about doing this is that if someone already has a cookie for that product stored on their computer the previous affiliate will get the commission, anyways the code is http://1.USERNAME_PRODUCTNAME.pay.clickbank.net
Absolutely you can do this. You can use some button like theLasT said. Before you do this, you should persuade the visitors to buy the products you promoted. If you can't pursuade them to buy, the best way is to ask them to download first. You can say it "Free Download Now" and something like this.
Yes you can do this - and here is our example - the vendor has to enable it though: http://www.cupidscure.com/affiliates.html#code2 scroll a bit to 'bypassing merchant page' **We do NOT use any of the methods above, all of those have loopholes - ours doesn't N.
