Thanks for the feedback. Honestly, it’s something our lawyers made us add, just in case. Obviously, we only ask third parties to contribute if we feel they’re trustworthy, are offering solid advice, and really know their stuff. However, since advice can be easily misconstrued or misused, our lawyers felt we should cover ourselves when it’s not someone from inside the company giving the advice.

Thanks for your thoughts, though; I’ll see if there’s a way we can make our meaning clearer.

I’m not sure what other earlier comments you’re referring to, but obviously this one has been posted.

Squeeze pages are not a problem in the vast majority of cases- vendors are able to pass the affiliate Hop ID through the squeeze page, so they can properly credit affiliates when a sale eventually gets made. In many cases this actually works better than the traditional “one chance” sale because they are able to slowly convince the potential customer of the value of the product, rather than having just a few seconds to do so while they’re on the page.

This is a tried and true technique in affiliate marketing, and if it didn’t work and wasn’t tracked properly, affiliates would quickly abandon that vendor, dropping their gravity and impacting their sales. The bottom line is that squeeze pages work. There may be some vendors who don’t pass affiliate information properly, but those vendors are quickly identified by savvy affiliates and stop being promoted. No vendor succeeds long-term by cheating affiliates out of their commissions, and the vast majority of vendors recognize this and play fair. Whether you want to promote products with squeeze pages is up to you, but many affiliates do so and do just fine.

One concern, however.

This is the ClickBank Blog.

The header at the top of this page even says “The official blog of the Internet’s leading retailer of digital products.”

Why would ClickBank give a platform to third parties to post on their blog and then insert at the end of the blog post “Please note: Any opinions expressed here represent those of the author, and are not necessarily recommended or endorsed by ClickBank.”

Shouldn’t the ClickBank blog (”the official blog of the Internet’s leading retailer of digital products”) be reserved for content that ClickBank actually *recommends* and/or endorses?

In summary, why allow third party content to be posted on the ClickBank blog if it’s not recommended or endorsed by ClickBank?
