Is it possible to create a hoplink just for the "BUY NOW" site, the payment itself and leave the original landing page out from the process? It could be useful, when the original landing page is really awful but you have ideas to promote the product, so you create a new one. thx
I wouldn't always discredit the landing pages. I believe that most have been tested and convert pretty well. This is a really good question though. I'll email the clickbank support to see what they say about it.
The vendor can provide you with this capability if they know how. It's a simple matter to make sure that you get your cookie and pass the buyer directly to the purchase page. You may, however, find that your vendor does not like being left out of the loop. I think most of them would just be happy for the hops, though.
You should always get permission first, from the vendor. Most of the good ones will gladly accomodate you in order to make sales. If you don't ask them first, they can with hold your commission as you are breaking their TOS.
Yeah, most vendors do allow one to skip the sale pitch page and go directly to the payment payment if the affiliate thinks or knows that what they create is much more kickass, but not all vendors know how to do that. You can also get an idea on how to do this via this site: http://www.pqinternet.com/26.htm it is a little technical but it does explain how to get around it.
If the vendo is willing to redirect based on a code you add to their hoplink you can get your cookie and still go directly to the buy page. It works the same way as directing to a specific pitch page for a multi-product account.
