I am a new Clickbank member and I am looking for a mentor. I have tried everything from making money with adsense, even a few adult sites and I have never been very successful. I am wanting to succeed at this one but really dont know what kind of site I need to make etc... As far as marketing I have a pretty good idea but really need some help. If you can help drop me a PM. Greg
This is a great idea, I wish you good luck in your future attempts. (I'm in need of a mentor too though )
I am not looking how to use Clickbank but how to implement sites to profit from it, and some direction as to where to market my sites and basically how to get good traffic.
wvs, it really not that hard. are you also consideren PPC/Adwords traffic ? Getting any product you like on CB "live" on your own site is kid's play...as you can see with me newest creation http://hijacker.superiorbits.com <-- i have a video on there where i show how i make a site for "Affiliate Elite" in 2 Mins and 30 Secs. You can use this or similiar methods for any product you like...create a site...and then instantly dirve PPC traffic to it. Or: Blog about any product and make a squidoo lens, blogger etc..etc.. with your links in it. Or buy banners cheap on related forums with your link for a certain product you like. Its more difficult to find a good, the "right" product on clickbank....and i recommend staying away from big palyers like "affiliate elite", "keyword elite", "google assassin" etc..etc.. because everone inclusing their mama promotes them. There are very few low gravity products on CB which convert well (niches, eh. health/fitness, or gaming guides etc...).... (seee my video above) i can get me any product i like in 3-4 mins online and then do whatever promotion i want with it. Edit: Maybe you can also consider writing your own ebook etc. and be a CB publisher yourself - inclusing a very profitbale pre-sale which gives you testimonials eg.. before you put the product on clickbank. See http://ebookprofits.superiorbits.com - publishing can be very profitable but of course needs a little work, especially if you want to write your own ebook. But its not rocket science.
talking about the difference between a simple redirect, or a site which has content. 99,9% of all affiliates who clone a site just use a redirect (eg. with PHP headers or javascript, frames etc..)...so there is nothing a search engine wil see if it crawls your "site", you will even get penalized. In my method i pull the whole site and actually have content..and that's what SE like
Thanks for the reply. I am going to probably build sites with links to the products. I really don't like redirects. I am going to be promoting the products on my blog as well. Yes I am going to be promoting using adwords as well. What about using Etology.com for text ads? I have used them on another site I managed to get a good amount of traffic for next to no cost. But the site I was promoting is a free adult site so I was not expecting much. I am going to check out your videos. I am definatly not going with the High Gravity products you have mentioned, I have gotten a lot of emails about them so yea I am sure it is getting saturated.
"clone", "steal", "hijack", whatever you wanna call it I assume that any 3rd party should be fine with it when i sell THEIR products - it's a win<->win for publisher<->affiliate. (updating vid right now with explaining texts G.
GeorgR - Don't you run into duplicate content penalties? I'm truly curious as I find your method quite interesting but it raises a couple of red flags for me. Would it be possible to do what you do and then rewrite the copy to get around dupe content penalties?
Zibblu, basically "yes". But the common scenario is either chose a simple redirect or javascript redirect - or do it like this, in the SAME amount of time. Nobrainer what method is better PPC Quality Score is only ONE aspect! I am aware that a dupe site, of course, might get you a dupe-penalty. But then this is still better than having a "no" site at all with no content whatsoever cosisting only of a PHP redirect! If your focus is really that you want to please SEO and want rank highest in SE then you would not use either method in the first-place...then get some templates and rewrite them and make a real, unqiue site with unique content. the method is mainly a "far more advanced" replacement for situations where people usually just used redirects and want to promote/put up a product quickly...without bothering now designing and developing a whole new web-presence for any clickbank, CJ etc. product. Otherwise we're entering the real of "web design"...but then this tool is NOT a tool for someone creating and designing a unique site Then i would recommend other methods, like eg. downloading complete sites by hand and modify/rewrite them (what i did a couple of times also)..or use other means of making a unique site. In a nutshell: Sure..you will have a dupe...but this is still 100x better than a simple redirect you would otherwise have....and eg. for PPC it wouldn't matter at all: I enjoy great quality score when i drive traffic to those sites.
