When promoting a clickbank product, I also recommend you look at the sales price and your share depending on the split they offer. Then look at the average proceeds Clickbank says their vendors get. This will differ from the anticipated split because Clickbank takes refunds out of the average number. Thus if its a $47 product you would normally expect about $22 after clickbank fees. If the average payout is $17 that suggests about 22% of people are getting refunds. The more refunds, the less likely I will promote, recognizing that everyone will have some refunds.

You’ve shown one way to attack the problem, Andre, and it’s the best way for affiliates who need to make money right now.

Another avenue geared more towards the long-term is to use your resources to build an opt-in list in the niche, then over time promote a number of products to that list. For those products that make you money, do more follow-ups on those. And use the results from your mailings to decide which products to use other promotional methods for, like articles, blog posts, videos, etc.

Nice Post. I agree that in the end you have to test everything to see how it will perform for you. There are a lot of ways you can tweak a campaign to make it perform better, but only if you test.

When you are checking adwords and other PPC to identify potential products to promote, it is a good idea to check not just the display URL, but also the actual URL that may contain an affiliate ID.

If nothing else indicates it is being promoted by affiliates you might need to click through to the sales page where it often will display an affiliate ID.

Even if you see a product is being promoted for many keywords, it is also a good idea to make sure that it is being promoted by more than one affiliate.

There might be one affiliate that is paying to test a product that isn’t making him any money, but there won’t likely be many of them.

For me the best way is to promote products I actually use. This solves the quality problem and makes it easy to put the promotional pieces together.
