Hey guys, I never tried affiliate marketing, but yesterday I started with Clickbank I am trying to sell BANS on my blog Is this a good ad placement? www.kingnomar.com and do you think this is a good product to sell at my blog?? or you have any suggestions about what to sell?> Thanks in advance
Adsense pays 'per click' where as clickbank pays 'per sale' so, there is a great chance of making more money.
Great blog, great content, you should rank well! Noticed your stats for alexa (the pic), don't worry about alexa so much, focus on traffic - it is actually fairly easy to influence your alexa rank, doesn't mean much though in terms of ROI unless you're selling adspace to an alexa diehard... At any rate, there are plenty of products at CB and this board has many great vendors willing to work with you to hep sales, utilize us! Clickbank is hot, money is easy once your formula is downpat. Now that you have championed a blog, it's time to start looking at the other 1000 pieces of the marketing puzzle, a great ride awaits you ahead Cheers and best of luck CB'ing. NC
KN, like your blog. reminds me a bit of mine. Nice design, not too much clutter. I think banner placement is good!
Really nice looking blog and great banner placement and a good looking product to sell, If i may be so bold as to reccomend that you hide your hoplink somehow, for example using tinyurl (I use the free .dr.ag domain name) seeing as when i hovered my mouse over the banner it screamed "CLICKBANK HOPLINK!!!" You don't necessarily want to make it seem like you're an affiliate and are trying to trick your readers into buying products (despite the fact that's what your actually doing).
Pretty good blog, read it sometimes I remember, current adsense for 20k+ monthly traffic definitely should be changed. Just curious is it typical for adsense to earn so low on blogs ? I know about forums. But what about blogs.
Thanks for all the comments guys ! Currently I have over 50 hops.. but no sales yet.. What products are you using on your blog and is working good??? any suggestions,,, or should I wait a little bit longer?
on my blog i promote web20wealth.com it gets more hops than other because of the animated banner/ads and the promotion is earning money on your blog for novice bloggers. There is always someone looking at your site that thinks hey I should start a blog to make some cash. Really nice placement on that though.
maybe you missed the sales because of some affiliate thieves. Cloak your link to convert better, something like http://kingnomar.com/recommend/BANS Code (markup):
Hello, affiliate thieves are those who replace their clickbank nickname in the place of your clickbank nickname and purchase products through their nickname instead of yours. This happens if you promote marketing related products to affiliates or visitors who already have a clickbank nickname and know how to get commission on clickbank products. If you are promoting other products or if your visitors are not aware of 'affiliate marketing' you do not need to bother link cloaking. Generally most of the visitors for general products do not know about 'affiliate marketing' and about clickbank. All the Best
Well done on the blog - almost got me clicking through and I'm one of those "Digg" types who never clicks ads.
The good product would be the one that is related to the theme of your blog. If you would try selling products using untargetted traffic, you would need 1000+ hops to make a sale. When a blog is related to aff marketing, then it is really difficult to make any sales since the majority of the visitors are marketers themselves and they a) rarely buy themselves and b) replace your aff link with their own when they buy. The only solution is to add enough quality content so that SEs would start sending you targetted traffic. That is when you would start making money with the blog. my 2c.
