Clickbank is advertised everywhere it seems, bragging about how affiliates are earning an extra income. The websites are able to sell a variety of products without ever taking stock or shipping a single item. The website owners simply place a banner of another member site on their own webpage and will be paid for each click or each click that results in a purchase on the members site. It is so easy to earn money as an affiliate it almost seem like it is a scam. The reality is you have to be a super affiliate to see any real profit from using this program. Before joining you should take the time to learn how to become a super affiliate so you are not wasting your time or your website precious space.
The only way to earn money as an affiliate on clickbank is to understand how it works. The members are offering the affiliates a payout for each time a user clicks a banner or link placed on their site that leads back to the members site or for clicks that lead in a purchase from the embers site. The majority of member sites know they will not have a huge increase in their traffic from the affiliate and expect to have a very small amount of money actually paid out. The main purpose of having an affiliate or many affiliates is to increase the page rank in the search engines for the member sites. The backlinks that are placed on the affiliates sites are used in rating the website PR, the higher the PR the more traffic will be generated naturally to the site and the more backlinks the site has the higher the PR will be, so really the only thing a member site needs from you is for you to place that link on your site.
The only way for an affiliate to earn any real money by placing these banners or links on their webpage is to ensure that the traffic is generated to the member site and that it is the right traffic.
The one thing to realize is the amount of traffic your site gets. The more traffic you get the more chance you have at finding traffic to click the banners of the members sites. If you are generating enough traffic then you need to focus on the target audience of your own website. Who is coming to visit your site? This is a huge concern an affiliate should have before choosing a member site. The member site should be as closely related to your own site as possible in order to ensure that your visitors will find some interest in what the member site has to offer.
If the traffic on your site is not interested in what your members sites have to offer then you are wasting valuable space on your website as well as doing nothing to benefit yourself but are helping the member site to increase their PR and their traffic and not getting paid to do so. If your website is full of healthy recipes and your members are selling deep fryers or cotton candy makers your traffic will never click those banners and therefore you will never earn any money as an affiliate.
