I see a lot of good questions and some good answers. But where and how
do you post the vendors sales page, if thats what you do?? Or do you write a “personal message” and post that and if so how and where so you post that? Do you (I) use my opt in page and then on to the vendor??? Its that “where to post that gets me confused”. You have to be out there advertising your product somewhere. So where and how is that done? Thanks, Jack

Wow, I have done everything backwards. Got started with the gurus who just waste your time. I did look into click-bank, but I thought that was the last thing to do, not the first. All the info we newbies need is on the web, but finding and understanding it is hard. I agree we need a newbie support group. Thanks for great articles and feedback. Bette

You don’t need your own website to be a ClickBank affiliate.

Thanks for your tip Sharath,

I’m getting ready to get into article writing (marketing) to promote my product, is that ‘php redirects’ the same as ‘cloaking’?

Also can you direct me to more information on ‘php redirects’? What what does ‘php’ mean?

Thank you,

~Krystalina~

Hi Krystalina, You can also setup php redirects to your links and make them
look like http://www.yourdomainname/yourecommend/product. Do that, it looks professional and ur hoplinks will not be seen in the beginning.Take care.

Hello Beau,

Thanks for your promptness in clarifying the details. Sure glad I’m set up right, it’s my first with affilaite marketing. I hope this information helped others too. I’m a total newbie at this affiliate marketing stuff and I truly commend you for your very informative videos and interviews you’ve made available for us.

Well, I’m off to new adventures in the “CB marketplace” now that I know I’ve done this part right, it gives me the confidence to keep moving forward.

Thanks Bunches Beau

Hi Krystalina,

It sounds like you’re doing everything right. The “resolved” form of the HopLink just means that address you see once you click on your HopLink and end up on the vendor’s website, with ?hop=mynickname at the end, like you mentioned.

Just to clarify, it’s totally OK that you’re seeing that resolved form of the URL once you’re on the vendor’s website- that’s supposed to happen. When I said not to use the resolved form of the HopLink, I just mean that you shouldn’t copy that URL (such as http://www.vendorwebsite.com/?hop=mynickname) and link to that URL in your promotions instead of using the link ending in hop.clickbank.net.

If you’re using the hop.clickbank.net links, and especially if you’ve followed each link all the way to the ClickBank order form and are seeing [affiliate=mynickname] at the bottom, then you’re doing everything right, and your links are being tracked properly. I hope that helps clear it up! I know this issue is a bit confusing. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Beau

Thank you Beau for answering my previous questions, would you please clarify where does a “resolved” form of a hoplink come from. Is that something done manually?

I’ve watched your video several times on “How to Create Hoplinks” and I’ve just set up 4 affiliate promos on my website. When I click on each one, they work perfect and take me straight to the vendor’s sales page. I did notice http://…..com/?hop=mynickname in the browser when I got there. I’m certain I did this right as I copied and pasted the address from the lower box in the ‘create hoplink’ for my website. I did follow each link all the way to the “Buy Now” page and did see [affiliate=mynickname]on the bottom of the page just as you mentioned in your video instructions.

Here’s somehting else I did. I right-clicked on the words “Click Here’ on my website then clicked “Properties”. The address it gave me was what you mentioned to Ron, “hop.clickbank.net”. So that tells me it’s set up right.

My concern is that it looks like the “resolved” form on the browser. YIKES!!! I hope this is not what you’re talking about.

Thank you,
