How Do You Link Directly to the Clickbank Order Page?

10 Aug 09 12:27 am

Hi Jayen,
I would suggest contacting the vendor who is selling the product.
Also, I just watched that video and what they are suggesting is against clickbanks TOS.

Maybe some one else has a better option for this.
Hope you get it solved.

Thank you for your posts.

I already contacted his support and they told me they hoped to have a solution to this "in the near future", that was over a month ago as i moved on to over projects.

As for directly linking to the order page, I'm not so sure if it is against their TOS, are you referring to what was said in the last comment posted on the blog post i linked to about this in my first post?

Quote blog comment:

"Hi Guys,
This is against Clickbanks TOS and will get you banned.

“You will not interfere with ClickBank’s tracking of Commissions, or with the normal flow of traffic to, through, or from the ClickBank Services.”

What you are suggesting is you are interupting the normal flow of traffic??"

I'm not so sure i follow the logic there. It is also talked about as a valid method in the Clickbank guide website and Rosalind Gardner has also made a video on using this method plus i read several warrior forum posts about this where the more experienced affiliate marketers argued that it was acceptable within the TOS. Either way it's not something i want to try just now and if i did I'd definitely research it a little more first to be on the safe side.

Yes i know what you're saying, this is the very reason i intend to bypass the squeeze page and take my visitors right to the sales page ;)

Hi Jayen,
Well I have not contacted clickbank about this and I will email them today and ask.
Hopefully they say it is ok as that would be very handy to do.
Glad you found a solution anyway.

Hi Troy

Jayen was talking about bypassing the squeeze page NOT the Sales page

If you read his posts again you will see he is talking about in fact bypassing the squeeze page so that he can actually go direct to the vendors Sales Page.

Thanks Troy

I should have been clearer with my other post, but still as you say it's good to have the conversation.

Yes in regards to the method of linking right to the order page off of your own copy (not something i'd be doing right now) i noticed that at the bottom of the page from the Clickbank guide i linked to above it also said that you must get permission from the product owner first. For the reasons you say it would make sense.

Still, all i want to do for now is bypass the squeeze page and take my visitors right to the sales page of the product. With the free link cloaking service i linked to above you can do that easily.

Hi Sean,
I think it's because the squeeze page may be ugly...lol
The product may be good... but the adcopy is not.
But I do agree with what you said above.

Hi Sean

In my case my main reason for avoiding the squeeze page and linking directly to the sales page is that I'm reviewing the product and so I'll be telling my visitors to go and get it. If i link to the squeeze page they will be taken to a page that does not mention anything about the book at all and only tells them to download some free report, they only get the opportunity to buy later. Also i've been given an additional free report to give away that has links to get the book, but again right now they make them have to download a second free report before they can buy, that's very messy especially as in the book it actually says to get the book here and then again takes them to the main page that says nothing about the book they just clicked a link for!

On top of this I'll be eventually trying to get subscribers that i can mail about the different affiliate products I'm promoting, it's not going to be very good if on one hand I'm emailing them about a product and then on the other the product owner is also emailing them about it as well. Plus although I'm sure most product owners will not use there own links in emails they can still promote other books by other people when they like and that would mean our chances of getting an affiliate sale will go down as the product we are promoting is now competing against another that we won't get paid on.

Oh ok, Well thanks Jayen.
It's been a good discussion in my opinion.
