How to Find Out What Product You Are Promoting on ClickBank

Clickbank processes around 35,000 digital transactions per day.

The Clickbank marketplace contains over 50,000 digital products. For a small one-time fee anyone can sign up to Clickbank and request their downloadable product be placed on the marketplace. In addition, the company has over 100,000 registered affiliates who scan the marketplace for offers to promote in return for sales commissions. Clickbank provides affiliates with tools to help their marketing efforts; one tool is the "HopAd Builder." Affiliates simply need to paste a short snippet of code into their Web pages, which generates an ad block containing products relevant to the site's topic. As an affiliate, you may make sales or generate clicks from the HopAd Builder, but may not know what products are being clicked.

Instructions

1. Login to your Clickbank account.

2. Click "Reporting." This is one of five options on the horizontal navigation menu on your account's welcome page. A page will load with your payment history, along with a submenu under the "Reporting" tab. The sub menu contains four options, the final one being "Analytics."

3. Select "Analytics." A page displaying your recent traffic and sales statistics will appear. Scroll down below the traffic graph to see the items you are promoting that are receiving clicks and sales. The first column of the table displays the vendor name for each product.

4. Note the vendor name. Type or copy "http://affiliate.vendor.hop.clickbank.net" into the address field of your browser, without the quotes. Replace "vendor" with the vendor name you noted from your account analytics page, and press enter. The page that loads will display the product you are promoting.

Tips & Warnings

• Vendors may have up to 500 products for sale under one account, which means the vendor username may be completely unrelated to the product you are promoting. As vendors frequently use ID combinations of letters and numbers, even after you have identified the product, it could be easy to forget. Every time you uncover an unknown product from your analytics list, make a note of it in a text file and save it to your desktop. This way you have an reference to consult quickly that does not require going through the aforementioned steps each time you are unsure of the product you are promoting.
