I am looking for affiliates to promote my new clickbank product: http://www.handyman-business.com/guide.html Affiliate Page Here: http://www.handyman-business.com/affiliates.html Affiliates will earn 60% or about $28 per sale.
Why are you using two different payment processors? Your guide.html page is using clickbank. But if someone goes directly to your home domain they're sent to a different payment processor that won't payout referral fee to clickbank affiliate. You even have a link back to your index page at the bottom of the guide.html page. Not the best way to attract affiliates.
I removed the link to my index page. I want to keep my original payment processor that I make my own sales with (on the index page). Clickbank is just being used to attract affiliates.
I don't think you're going to get many affiliates like that, and will bring your trust level into doubt. No ones gonna want to promote something with the possibility of getting screwed out by a different payment processor. If you're going to do your own promotion you should run your links through a separate clickbank ID. Kind of like you're an affiliate for your own product. If someone is close to buying and see that they're not on the top level of the domain, guess what they're gonna do? Go straight to the home page to see what other info you have. Then affiliate gets screwed. Best of luck, but if you don't get many affiliates the second processor is going to be one of the main reasons.
This is new to me. It is not my intention to take away anyone's commission. Should I use another domain and just put no index no follow on the new site so I won't get a penalty for dup content? I want to keep the original payment processor since I have an upsell and it easy to manage that way. What advice would you give?
switch it all to clickbank, upsells are easy to add.The more complicated it looks to affiliates, IE sending them to an interior page, with a different payment processor then the main page etc. the less likely you are to get affiliates. Also the norm here is 75%.
Why is it that your page: http://www.handyman-business.com/guide.html thats under a clickbank account But This page is not: http://www.handyman-business.com/ -------------------------------------------------------------------Im sorry that seems kind of funny, because buyers might not go to the "/guild.html" well lets just say I didn't. I went to the main site and that is your "/index.html" I hope I didn't lose you. You might want to make the main site under you clickbank account, because affiliates will not promote it. You can still make your own sales if it is still under a clickbank payment account. Unless you want your sales to got directly into your bank. Well anyways nice page!!!
You can do the opposite. Have clickbank on the home page & the other payment processor on the other page. And yes, you can put nofollow, noindex tags on the page that you want to hide.
Either switch everything to clickbank, or put up a dedicated domain just for clickbank affiliates with no links back to other processor. Getting affiliates is tough. You have to work at it, and you'll have to provide a lot more resources on your affiliate page. Affiliates are going to test your product first to see if it converts. More affiliates will test your page if you provide resources. The more initial work they have to do, the less likely they are to try. But if your product does convert, that's when they start pumping out their own content and get pretty creative. You just want to make it as attractive and as easy as possible to promote your product. Best of luck.
Thanks for all the advice. I think I came up with a solution. I am going to get a better affiliate page tother with more promotional tools and launch it in January.
