Hi CB Gurus, Anyone here using ways to bypass the original sales page and go directly to the order page with aff id intact and cookie set? Thanks for sharing.
I was wondering this too? How do we set up our affiliate credit directly in the link to the clickbank order page of the publisher?
do NOT do this! There has been a thread just a few days ago that CB stopped supporting this way of linking! You will not get any commission (anymore) !
Hi Just_Life, See my other thread, I created a Link Cloaker to do just this sort of thing: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=648039 The bonus with the above link cloaker is that your cookie gets set before your visitor even clicks on the link. No, it still works fine. Plus there is a way of doing so that ClickBank can't do anything about. Regards, Perry.
I still do it... works great! All you need is a little script that you implant on your website. PM me with "CB Code" in subject line if you want this code. Thanks!
I wrote a script to check whether your direct links still work. You can cron it and get a mail when the order page fails to include your affiliate id. <?php // modify this : $affiliateid = "myaffiliateid"; $email = "test@test.com"; // stop $url = "http://www.clickbank.net/sell.cgi?".$affiliateid."_5buckguy/1/5+Bucks+a+Day"; $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); $str = curl_exec($curl); curl_close($curl); if (preg_match("/CLICKBANK SECURE ORDER FORM/", $str) and !preg_match("/affiliate = $affiliateid/i", $str)) { // Enter actions to perform if your affiliate id is not on the order page, for example a warning mail: @mail($email,"Warning: ClickBank links broken","Your direct link to the clickbank order page has failed on ".date("d/m/Y H:i:s")); } ?> PHP:
