Thanks a lot for sharing this!

I have a quick question — will this work if a vendor passes a “seed” parameter to the checkout page e.g. if a vendor’s link to the CB checkout page looks something like this: http://1.SOMEMERCHANTID.pay.clickbank.net/?cbfid=XXXX/?APUN=YYYY&seed=ZZZZ

Even though your affiliate name will appear at the bottom of the CB checkout page, I think a customer will not be able to download the product in case of the above scenario. Any ideas?

[Some vendors pass a random value for the "seed" parameter to protect the product download page. This random value is unique for each and every sale. This is done to validate whether anybody with the download link has really purchased the product or not]

I just discovered your website and I may I say I really like it! Regarding this topic, wouldn’t it be better to purchase a domain and redirect straight to your affiliate product. Saves all the hassle of cookies etc etc. any thoughts?

I have tested this.

I went to an order page through another person’s affiliate id. so on the order page i have the other person’s id.

Then i constructed a link with my id directly to the order page. Still i see only the other person’s aff id. Funny though, my id is still appearing in the URL.

So, you could loose commission if you directly send prospects to the order page, incase there is a pre-existing cookie.

Really allows so much more marketing flexibility, yet does not alter the underlying CB vendor-affiliate commission or relationship.

This is BRILLIANT! Especially because I am doing a lot of work with video…and most people still have the old long copy sales page…I can do an instant makeover on my OWN sites for their product!

This is an awesome tip. However, I find that it often stands to reason that if the copy is poor, the product may not be much better. It’s not always the case, but how can you really tell?

I use this trick to create iFrame FB fan pages instead…

I made a video at YouTube with this how-to, drawing from a video that was quite low quality, pretty much just repeating it in higher resolution. Here it is:

I made a blog post to accompany it at my Internet Marketing blog:

No marketing here – just sharing with other friends of Lynn’s! (Next IMTW podcast is When?)

Hi George, apologies in advance for my naivety on this but are you suggesting we use cbengine to generate the vendors affiliate link and use this link to change and direct link to the sales page? If you want to link direct to the vendors sale page in future then use cb to generate hoplinks?
Thanks

Disadvantages:

* The normal hoplink takes priority over this link: therefore an affiliate will not get commission if the visitor has previously gone through another affiliate’s hoplink
* The link does not set a cookie: therefore an affiliate will not get commission if the visitor later returns to the site without using that link
* This is an unofficial link. It is not listed at the ClickBank site, so it can be withdrawn at any time. So use with caution.

Use a CPA referral redirector plugin on a WordPress blog. Make sure to ue one that use a secret key for better security. Solves all of your problems, helps to cloak your links, redirect options, referral privacy (blank, pass through,privacy-replaced), and with a little creativity, total removal of the need for 3rd party content at all.

I think that anyone seeking to avoid bad copy by discussing direct linking has noticed that the day of becoming an affiliate for the already built websites and great copy are gone……….

Don’t fret, It’s not the death of the ebook, we’ve just gotten better at copy writing ourselves. For reaching this level you deserve the information above. Happy Marketing.
