Promoting your product on ClickBank can be a great way of increasing sales. Clickbank Market Place is searched frequently by online marketers looking to generate income with affilite products. Locating products to promote is quite easy with ClickBank. All a marketer has to do to start earning a commission with your product is set up a free of charge ClickBank account and search through the appropriate catagory, locate your product and begin promoting it.

As a merchant you can instantly tap in to this huge potential traffic resourse easily and at little cost. Marketing your product with an affiliate program is one of the most powerful ways to increase sales with little effort on your part. You don’t pay to develop the traffic, the affiliate does. You only pay anything out to the affiliate after they have brought you a sale, and you get to decide how much! This is why so many successful online merchants participate in ClickBank’s easy to use program.

However, it’s not quite that simple. You will find that some online merchants seem to only be able to generate a few sales per day while some others may realize hundreds of sales per day, with the exact same system. So, what’s the difference? The highly successful merchant undersstands the power of providing their online marketing affiliates with key marketing tools along with assiting and motivating them to use them. Helping the affilaite marketer use an effective tool helps you both make much more money.

Your efforts with Increasing your campaign responsiveness can serve to boost your sales at ClickBank in two ways. First of course is to make more sales, but also, your affiliate program should begin to look much more attractive to the professional affiliates searching within Clickbank for products to promote. ClickBank publishes the sales stats and clearly shows how responsive your product is. When your product appears to be a top seller, it will attract a greater number of affiliates wanting to promote it, thus easliy increasing the overall traffic it receives.

Having your product listing ranking high in ClickBank could even be more powerful than having your top keywords rank high with Google. Attracting several strong affiliates who are each capable of getting high Google ranking could end up having your product dominating the first page for your top keywords.

You might pay an SEO company rediculous sums of cash to get good search placements when there may be strong affiliates marketers out there with the ability to accomplish the same or more without any additional expense to you. But only if you would just make it easier and more efficient for them to get involved with promoting your product.

Despite this potential, you’d be surprised to see all the Clickbank merchants who don’t have an affiliates resources page or at least they don’t display it with their clickbank product description allowing marketers to see promotional aids available.

The online merchants who know the importance and value of motivating their affiliates by providing them with the tools they need to properly promote the product to make money with it are the ones who are fully leveraging the their ClickBank affiliates. Is it just plain laziness or do some merchants not understand how to properly support a top online marketer? You won’t attract the top marketers to promote your product if you don’t have a good set of tools for them to use, they will find the products that do.

If you are currently listing your products in ClickBank but not focusing on how to help your affiliates be successful, it’s time to take a good hard look at your promotional tools. You can turn your success level up rapidly with a few simple additions to your promotional tools.

As you know writing articles is a very powerful way to get traffic and recognition. And who doesn’t want more of both to support their online marketing business? Traffic generation is the life blood of any business. Now there is one more facet you can add to your article marketing campaigns to get a little more mileage from your articles and it utilizes the power of Twitter.

You can have a Tweet posted to Twitter automatically each time you have posted an article to an article directory. You will need to get your author feed from the article directory to use for this, most good directories should provide a specific author feed. Now you can use that feed just as they provide it or you can run that feed through FeedBurner if you want to add more features like click tracking and more.

My friend Dan Blackburn has a good description on how to do this on the Article Content King Blog.
Go there and just follow his instructions. He describes how to get the feed from the Article Content King directory, but it should be similar with any on the major article directories.

Dan will take you through getting your feed and then going to a free service called Pingvine where the feed will be set up to Twit automatically every time you post a new article. How cool is that! One more way to use Twitter!

PS,
If you want another good place to post your articles, gain some ad revenue from your article pages and more, you might try the unique revenue sharing Article Content King directory. I am involved in helping this directory become a marketing powerhouse for authors, the Alexa rating is growing very rapidly with all the new design features and marketing efforts. Check it out.

As I have been gradually adding more features to my blog here I noticed something that is not widely addressed. At least it never came to my attention before as I was learning about creating the 125 X 125 ads I use in the right sidebar. I have done these ads before and not thought about it either. The common way to write the code for a clickable link behind a graphic or picture closes your blog page to take the visitor to the link they just clicked on.

This is a ‘non-desirable activity’ in my book! Yes, I want them to click on the link, but keep the blog there as well. I want a new page to open for them, leaving the blog page open for them to return to. You want this too, right?  . . . say yes!

You certainly don’t need to allow people to accidentally leave your page until they are ready to. And we all know how many times we get distracted by the links we click on and don’t always go back to the original site when it has disappeared from our browser.

If you click on one of the ads on this blog you will see that it now opens a new window, leaving the blog page sitting right there waiting for you to return. I know you don’t believe me, so try it. Hehe, just for practice, really!

OK, so here is what you do about it. All you need to do is add a little bit more code to the link code you already have for the graphic. All it takes is this –

target=”_blank”

Here is an example of where you place this minor bit of code–<a href=”http://makeinternetmarketingmoney.com/pdf-power-brand” target=”_blank”><img src=”http://www.makeinternetmarketingmoney.com/images/pdf-pb.gif” width=”125″ height=”125″ border=”0″></a>

The thing you must pay close attention to is the quotes ( “ ) see how there is a quote at the end of pdf-power-brand” and the two within the added code, target=”_blank”

The term ‘blank’ is for a new page, you may have seen this before.

It’s interesting to note that as I wanted to figure out exactly how to do this I visited several sites so I could look at their code, and you know what? I couldn’t find one that was doing this. Everyone was letting the new page blow away their page when someone clicked on a link. Sure this may be a small thing, but if you have studied the making of a sales page, the cardinal rule is that you never, never, never - did I say, never? Never provide a link where someone can click off the page and get lost. So why is it not important here with a blog as well?

If someone just landed on your main page and got distracted, heaven forbid, by one of your ad links and got taken away from the blog – got real excited, bought something and never came back. Maybe they don’t come back to receive all the great free content you have, get top know you more, and – well you get it.

So go fix your links that can take people away from your blog and you will feel like you’ve accomplished something – it’s called ‘saving traffic’! It takes effort to get, so take a little more to save it. Help readers get the value you intend for them.

There is a nice site I found that has some great tutorials that help with doing HTML. If you are like me and don’t know it well enough to remember exactly what to do a week later, this site can come in handy. They didn’t have this exact code example there which is why I had to extrapolate a little, but it is a good site for HTML coding help. It’s a resource I will use again, I found it well laid out and easy to use.

I see now that I want to be able to do very specific ad tracking, even to the level of individual keywords. The CPV advertisers have scripts that can be added to the pages totrack whick keywords convert. I have been using a combination of things to, like unique URL redirects and the adtracker through 1Shopping cart.

It would be nice to find one service or software that I can use for everything, that way there is one place to look. I need to look inot  the Google Analytics to see if it can accoomplish all this. We’ll see.

Suggestions are welcome on this.

Thanks,

John

For a few days now I have been driving traffic with in two ways.

I wanted to get started now before Alex starts going into traffic with the coaching group.

First I am doing some ‘blaster’ ads, which are mass emails - these are permission based not spam! These are not really effective but just a way to get going. They are cheap but do require a little time sine you must enter your ad data in each one separately.

Second, I started some CPV advertising. This is where you pay as your ads are viewed. You whole page comes up when someone types I a keyword that you have bid on. Keywords can be words or URL’s. The rates are much less than pay per click ads, usually .01 to .05 cents. 

I’m using Zango and Traffic Vance. Although Zango is not actually running yet, setting up an account seems to be dragging on! In this regard it is similar to Adwords, get an account set up, a campaign, and keywords - then wait for account approval and keyword approval - it’s been 4 days now!
I’m getting sign ups to my list right away through Traffic Vance with my List building with Alex page, cool!
