Hello all, I have been working on a new way to look at selling ClickBank products. For years I have heard that PPC, article marketing, niche blog or website are the best ways. I have tried most ways, and have had a little sales with each, but nothing sustaining. Here is my view. Clickbank has thousands of products that you can sell, why focus in on 1-10 products (niches), why not try to sell ALL of the Clickbank products at once. I have some programming skills and am working on a program that can disect the ClickBank marketplace and create a cloaked .php links file, and html link pages with all the links in it that ClinkBank has. Here is an example: http://www.ickaboo.com/links.html I have tons of links, and can create html pages with the links. Now I need to find a way to get the search engines to like the pages or read the links. Would it be good to ping the links? Create sitemaps and submit to google? I am needing a good solid way to get these links (urls) out to the internet so that people will see them and click on them. I need traffic. I have looked for a program that can just submit a URL to all the search engines....something that I could just import a list of urls and submit. When i find a good way to promote ALL the clickbank links at once, I will put together my own product with my link creating software as the front end, and the promotion piece as the back end. I am looking for good ideas on how i can promote the links. Ideas that are pretty much free. Thanks,
It's an interesting idea, but I don't think it will work. Clickbank is all about TARGETED traffic. If you're going to (god forbid) sell a forex product, then your traffic had better be people interested in buying forex software. Same thing goes with pretty much every niche - send untargeted traffic and you wont make a single sale. A bunch of random links probably wont help anyone make sales. As for getting Google to index the pages...again interesting, but you'll need to do some work (content, link building, etc) for each page if you want decent rankings...and assuming there are thousands of pages (one for each product) it will take forever to get them ranking well in Google.
Agree with dlm..... Targeted traffic is what will convert into sales.... Otherwise you burn up alot of time and effort with little results. You'll notice Google is focused on providing relevant content for a more friendly user experience.. Attempting to give them what they are searching for. Understand this and you will be rewarded.
It can work, but with a site like you are showing us, you are going to need to alter the code of some type of mass pinger or spam bot. I would make smaller sites at least, based on the main niches, such as health, so you can focus more on their rankings. Also, if you get sloppy with the link building and it becomes black hat, a manual review would possibly yank an entire site as opposed to multiples if you diversified a lot more.
I agree. I think the goog would look unfavorably on this and soon would yank all the sites. Perhaps focusing on one niche at a time. It seems there is already a site where you can do this but can't remember the name right now. You use your cb id and just pimp the site. Then if someone visits the site - they have access to all the products - you get commission on any sales. Not quite what you are trying to do but similar. I applaud you for looking for a better mouse trap....
It isn't a new idea, there are a lot of "Clickbank Malls" about, but granted yours is your own system and approach. As said above they do convert terribly, for me anyway... just because the traffic is so untargeted and have people just visiting accidentally, or interested in various other things... I do think it could work for you though as overall if you build up enough traffic then as a whole you should make some sales... ... hmm on second thoughts on looking at your site you have 1000s of links, 10s of thousands of links, but not actually seperate pages with a little info on them all.. I think this might be your downfall... But as suggested above just start building links to your site as you would with any other... submit to directories, buy link building packages, use article networks, submit articles in mass, linking to various different pages... think big..
I am thinking big, much bigger then what I have tried in the past. I have found that NOTHING i have tried works to consistantly get sales. I have tried Adwords, submitting to search engines, etc, I have spent a fortune on tons of programs...I am now looking for free ways to promote CB products...... I appreciate all the feedback, I know the "Niche" method might get some sales for one or two product, I am going for 100's of sales a day, from 100's of different products.
This method will be ineffective at best. What would you do if you came across a huge list of links with no content? Most people will just move on...They won't see the links that are related to their search unless they are at the top of the list. Even then, it's unlikely that they'd click on them and make a purchase.
you cant run all clickbank product in same all product need targeted traffic to get sales or will not get anything
I dont think it being too varied is the main problem, I think the problem is that there is very little content on there, I don't think like this you will ever seriously rank it.... just because there is nothing there to rank properly.. its a hard task to write copy for 10k pages tho, but maybe you could start with some of the ones you think will sell and move on from there... or at least have "niche focused pages" with multiple links on, but info / articles talking about the subject area..
This is not a new idea at all. There use to be tons of them around in the mid/late 90s. I'm sure they're around still, but none of the search engines index them. Otherwise the entire place would be gummed up w/ that crap. There may be a technique out there that will do what you're wanting. But it will have to be some code/method that gets around a Google algorithm that's over a decade in the making, buy thousands of people. And what you presented unfortunately is not it.
Its very hard to rank a wide topic site. If you plan on selling all products on CB then getting traffic to the pages will be tough. Really tough, even then it may not be targeted which won't help you much either. Like agung27 said "niche is the key". You maybe could try some autoblog type approach for each section / product but I've not tried it and can't really recommend it.
Create your own product and have people selling it for you. There are people out there with the same amount of desire as yourself. Put them to work for you and give them the job you now have.
Yea.. Untarget traffic is a waste of bandwidth... Same site traget traffic 1/300 hits creates a sale. Untargeted traffic 1/4500+. Trure results. Target traffic is the only way to go.
I think its difficult to get search engine rankings for those skeleton pages. We need to have some quality content and links for that page to get search engine rankings for any competitive search term
