An Honest Review Of Clickbank

People are constantly praising Clickbank. You see the ads all over the place. Make a fortune with Clickbank. Well, I'm not here to knock the affiliate network giant, but I thought that it was time that somebody wrote an honest review of Clickbank, the good and the bad. Hopefully, this article will make it so that you'll be able to make an informed decision as to whether or not you want to have anything to do with Clickbank.

Let's start with some of the good things about Clickbank. If you are a vendor with your own product, there is no place on the Internet where you will get this much exposure for your product. The affiliate network at Clickbank is huge. Just recently, a product called "Day Job Killer" had over 1000 affiliates promoting it at one time. That is a small army. So if you are a vendor, Clickbank can be a gold mine.

Another great thing about Clickbank is that they are an established company and quite reliable. They pay their affiliates regularly and on time. I have yet to have a problem with them in the four years I've been dealing with them as far as getting my checks was concerned. They pay out on the first and the sixteenth of each month as long as you have reached the minimum payout balance.

Another great thing about Clickbank is that they probably have the largest inventory of products on the Internet. If you can't find something to sell there, you're simply not looking hard enough. Some of the products have a lot of competition but many have no competition at all and they should be very easy to sell.

Okay, what about the bad? Well, there's enough of it to go around, unfortunately. One of the most recent bad things about Clickbank is actually not even their fault. At least not entirely. Seems that a popular spyware killing software targets Clickbank cookies as spyware. What this essentially does is it makes it so that if a customer is using this spyware, cookies are not written to their computer and the affiliate does NOT get credit for the sale. Yeah, OUCH! This is actually becoming a very serious problem as many affiliates are complaining about losing commissions. Until Clickbank does something about this, this problem is not going to disappear.

Another problem with Clickbank is that they have gotten too big for their own good. Whatever problems there may be, don't bother complaining about them because they don't listen. They'll send you a polite email back but nothing will get done. The above problem with the cookies and spyware is a perfect example. This has been going on for a while and nothing has been done about it.

Another problem with Clickbank is that they have a boat load of rules and regulations that would choke the US Constitution. Unless you read them all, which is close to impossible, you run the risk of having your Clickbank account taken away from you without warning.

All in all, the good more than outweighs the bad. Many affiliates are still making a good living with Clickbank in spite of all the problems.

When all is said and done, I'm more than happy with my results.

To YOUR Success
