I actually have made quite a bit. I suggest patience with Clickbank. It does work, just don't quit your day job.

But having said that, PDC is a bit problematic because you've got to depend on your publisher paying you.

I may give them a few more weeks, but they haven't produced very much so far. I’m considering ending my relationship with clickbank as well.

I will check out Plimus. The ReadWriteWeb article is good, too. Will: I'm glad you're reading! I may try affiliate marketing for another ClickBank product to see if it works better when they have excellent copy on their end. I am glad for the positive feedback...I will continue posting about my foray into affiliate marketing. Dave, Will: Glad you liked the article. :)

Checked out your blog, good stuff. Your thoughts about ClickBank are 100% dead on, especially #2. I've found that the key to ClickBank has almost nothing to do with your copy, it's THEIR copy that matters. I did affiliate marketing for World of Warcraft guides through ClickBank for a while to two different affiliates. I had great copy on my site that sold the product well, and I was selling about two per day. I wasn't satisfied with that though and started really analyzing ClickBank further. I found what you found, I couldn't deep link or do anything to make sure my copy did the selling correctly, so I had to rely on their copy and streamline my content. So, I just made a simple page with some pretty graphics, two links and a sentence or two, and that's it. My sales jumped to 5 per day. I think the key to success with ClickBank is straight forward: 1. Sell the right product. Do your research, evaluate their copy. (This is the most important!) 2. On your side, keep it simple!

Some partners and I are using plimus.com for handling royalties. Not sure I like it yet, but very few other systems handle royalties. Plimus also handles affiliates. Plimus does insist you conduct your business "the plimus way," for example, requiring phone confirmation at times and delaying fulfillment. If you find any other system that can handle royalties, please post. Here is an interesting link on evaluating blogs: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/identify_top_blogs.php Excellent content.
