Putting landing page on your site and bypassing vendor page? Hello, I am wondering if people out there have dabbled or typically would just integrate the landing page or a copy of it into their own site for selling a clickbank product. It doesn't make sense to me to just presell a product on your website, and then have users click a link to go to another page. What seems to make the most sense is duplicating a very similar landing page as the product you are selling on your page, and then putting the add to cart button directly on your page for users to go directly to the section to add to cart. Is this what others have done? Have others done this? Thanks.
been discussed xx times recently do a search for 'bypass vendor' or 'bypass sales page' you'll get the .02 on why it makes sense and how to bypass it (be careful/tell your vendor/have all disclaimers/tos/privacy/refundpolicy/clickbanknotice/etc or you leave yourself and vendor liable).
Does not sound like a good idea to me. First, there is a thing called "copywriting", that caters to readers emotion which the product owner has already done better than you, the landing page creator. Probably he has not written the sales page himself, i.e. hired some skilled copywriters. So you cannot simply compete with him, in terms of converting readers into buyers. Secondly, when you make a landing page you are simply preselling, the actual selling part is done by the sales page itself.
Just talked to clickbank and they said you will get banned if you are found bypassing it. It would definitely sell more if you could eliminate one additional step in the purchase process, but then you would be taking away from the vendor, which seems stupid because a sale is a sale. Besides that, even if you do it and don't get caught, I believe the cookies get messed up and in some cases won't work right if you do this.
I was not talking about competing with anything, I was talking about making an exact copy of the sales page on my site, and using that so that I can eliminate an extra step in the purchase process. If a sale is a sale I don't see why they make a big deal about it. Hell, you can't even PPC most pages directly to a cb landing page because click bank's landing page quality score is almost always set to 1 out of 10 in google adwords. Anyone with any landing page optimization experience knows that adding a whole additional CLICK or PAGE do the process significantly lowers conversion rate. Why send my users through natural search to a page they have to click to go to another page to click another button to go to a buy page to click another button to pay when you could just put the buy now on the first landing page? Anyways, nothing you can do because cb will ban your ass if you do.
I don't think it's a good idea at all.. What if the vendor changes the offer and you don't update your page quick enough? Is that considered false advertising??? Maybe.. And who's liable?? The vendor should be in complete control how their product is advertised. Affiliates making their own promises and extravagant selling lingo can and most likely will inflate refund rates. And possibly cause Clickbank to close vendor accounts for high refund rates. Then comes customer service.. What if a visitor has presale questions?? Is the affiliate going to give their email address and act on behalf of the vendors company? Or is the affiliate going to forward the question to the vendor? If you are considering this, I strongly recommend getting approval from the vendor.
