ClickBank Sticks by Colorado Affiliate Marketers Despite New Tax Law
March 16th, 2010
Mar. 16, 2010 – While Amazon.com moved swiftly last week to halt its business relationships with affiliate marketers in Colorado, ClickBank officials vowed to continue to work with affiliate marketers located in the company’s home state despite a new law that taxes affiliates’ sales.
Amazon terminated its marketing affiliate program in Colorado just eight days after a new law took effect that will tax affiliate sales. In what was viewed as a surprise move by some of the estimated 4,000 online affiliate marketers in the state, Amazon distributed a letter to affiliates saying the company would immediately cease doing business with them because of the new tax law.
But ClickBank, a global online retailer headquartered in Broomfield, Colo., says it has no intention of terminating relationships with affiliates or discontinuing its longstanding policy of collecting and remitting taxes to the appropriate tax authorities in various domestic and international jurisdictions.
“We will continue to honor our agreements with affiliates in Colorado and all other states in the U.S., and will continue collecting and remitting taxes in compliance with the new laws affecting affiliate sales,” said Dush Ramachandran, ClickBank vice president of sales and business development.

I was really shocked to hear that amazon immediately terminated its agreement with Colorado affiliate marketers. Sounds great to hear that clickbank has not done the same. I really appreciate clickbank for the fact that it has shown its dedication to continue working with affiliate marketers of all states.
I live in Fort Collins Colorado and all I can say is thank you. I lost sales because of Amazon pulling out and it would suck if other followed suit.
I am both a publisher and affiliate marketer with CB and I appreciate you guys sticking with us.
I too would like to thank you for your decision and support.
Good post, ClickBank products that you can promote as a ClickBank affiliate marketer. So choosing a product to sell is just one thing. Always remember that it is important to promote a product or a website that already converts a high amount of visitors into buyers.
STILL grateful to ClickBank for standing with their affiliates in Colorado and other states such as Arkansas and California. Truly wish Governor Ritter would consider following the lead of California Governor Jerry Brown who signed legislation repealing the law that prompted Amazon to terminate their California affiliates.
Oops! I meant Governor John Hickenlooper!
