Releasing my first Clickbank product and expecting thousands of visitors on the release via Clickbank affiliates (most of my customers are into making money online). Everything is setup and I've submitted the product for approval (so probably active for the weekend). I'm certain early on in the testing process I was able to get a Clickbank username to be listed as the affiliate on the order page, but just tested now and it didn't work, though I had already tested the order button prior to entering the site via a hop link. Also tested in another browser (same result), though I have recently entered the site with that browser. Is it a case if someone enters a site without a hop link then enters with a hop link, no affiliate is registered? If so how long does the cookie or whatever last? The product I'm releasing is a WordPress SEO Ad theme (Stallion 6) that incorporates AdSense, Clickbank, Chitika, Kontera, Infolinks and LinkWords into one theme. I've built Clickbank affiliate banners directly into the theme so when a user adds their Clickbank username for the Clickbank ads part of the theme, the banner ads become hop links. I've already sent the theme out as a free update for another theme I sell (Talian 5) so a bit locked into that code short term. I'm using a plugin for the ordering system and it created a hop link like: http://morearning.stallionad.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=stallion&dpdid=Stallion_seo The &dpdid=Stallion_seo part apparently allows for multiple products under one account. If it is a cookie or something storing the lack of an affiliate Id, what's the easiest way to clear it for testing purposes? Thanks. David
Figured it out, used Google chrome with the hop link and it worked, so looks like it stores a blank ID if a person tries to revisit with a Clickbank ID after visiting without one. So my hop link structure works fine. David
