Ordering Products Through Own Link

    From what I hear, Clickbank say its OK to order a product through your own link.

    But what about products for webmasters such as affiliate tools like keyword elite etc.? Doesn't this mean that the webmaster loses out by the affiliate commission on nearly every sale?

    I'm surprised that they tolerate losing so much money.

    What do you think?

    you can purchase any product in cb marketplace using your link.
    but you should not misuse this.
    Better not to purchase more products through your link.

    you can buy through your own link as long as you do not over do it, you get into trouble with clickbank if you buy
    through your link and try to get a refund though, the webmaster does not
    lose he still gets the amount he was supposed to get anyways or should I
    say the amount he was expecting

    One can buy from his own link but do not misuse this opportunity given to its affiliates. No other affiliate network allows this.

    As a marketer myself, I never use my own CB link, because always I reward folks that send me useful product tips. Everyone should do this.

    yes but you can effectively get the product for half price. Why pass up that opportunity?

    Well, I bought a product on clickbank, when I checked my affiliate status, what do I see? My own sale thats what. I gotta tell you, I wasn't expecting this as the product isn't really useful to me so I requested a refund(lets just say that the product wasn't really what I expected it to be). I guess clickbank does track visitors with cookies. Oh well, hopefully the refund request won't mess up my affiliate account.
