I need help, I am new with ClickBank.

    OK, I have found a product at CB to promote and I have purchased a domain that I fill is relevant to the product at sale.

    The domain is at GoDaddy and and the hosting is elsewhere. I am not familiar with hoplinks at all. I clicked the "create hoplink" at CB and it has given me a url that links to the pitch page of the product.

    My question is... What do I do with that url? Do I set the nameservers of the new domain name to go to my hosting company first and than do something? Or, do I click on "Forward" at GoDaddy and enter my CB hoplink url in that box? If it is option 2, do I choose 301 or 302?

    I hope this makes sense. Any help would be great. Thank you!

    the URL you are given is the special link in which you direct people to the site. If you go through that link and purchase with that link than you are given credit for the sale. That is how clickbank tracks individuals.

    If you write articles on you site, then add the hoplink on you pages and lead your visitor to buy the product through that hoplink, you may get the commission from the vendor.

    a 302 redirect is ok if you're planning on just sending people straigt to the sales page. what has been proven to increase conversions is you should create some kind of landing page/review/blog etc and put your affiliate link on there somewhere to presell the user.

    hoplinks look like this http://USERID.PUBLISHER.hop.clickbank.net/ and you should cloak them with a php redirect or something.

    so set up your site. set the name servers in godaddy to your hosting name servers. create a site and fill it with content to presell the product, put your affiliate links all thru it, then promote your site.

    too easy.

    So basically the 302 redirect is only useful if people know my domain or are going to type in that domain directly, right?

    As far as the landing page that "mill123" spoke of...

    I am only fluent in PHP-Nuke and Wordpress. Are there any programs that I can use to make a basic landing page? I think the 2 CMS that I mentioned are a bit much for promoting 1 product, I may be wrong though... Please advise.
