How To Get The Best From Clickbank

ClickBank is the most important retailer online of digital products, it has a vast marketplace in which you can browse and choose for the best products: but which are the best products ? From an affiliate's perspective the best products are the ones that sell more and so this article is an explanation of how you can browse ClickBank's marketplace. To explore ClickBank's marketplace you don't need to login, just go to its homepage and follow the link "marketplace" at the top of the page: from the marketplace's page you can browse products by their category listed by their popularity by default, you can't see the most popular product of all the marketplace but just by its category; you can list products also by others factors such as by gravity, referred and others.

I don't explain you all the factors, since this done by ClickBank itself through the rankings help that you can find a little below the marketplace's search form, so i get deep in factors as gravity and referred: gravity is a weighted sum of the number of affiliates, that have sold the product we are looking, in the last 8 weeks in which each one is multiplied by a factor that for the most recent day is 1 while for the last one of the period is 0.1, referred just shows the percentage of the total sales produced by affiliates. If you have a high gravity and at the same time a low referred this means that the merchant is promoting itself and so you will meet him as a competitor, while a high gravity and high referred means that it is a product that sells and that you will compete just with other affiliates. But by these two factors can you understand if a product really sells or not ? The answer is no since what says if a product sells or not it is its conversion rate and ClickBank doesn't publish this data, conversion rate is just the ratio between the sales performed and the number of unique visitors received: this value is expressed in percentage so a conversion rate of 5% means that 5 sales have been performed every one hundred unique visits. Let's go back to gravity: high gravity means nothing as 1000 affiliates that are counted in the last week could have sold for more than one hundred of unique visits by each sale, so gravity just tells you that the product is selling or not at a global level but doesn't tell you how it is selling.

Conversion rate is a very important data that allows you to get other related data: if you have a good traffic and you don't want to monetize it through Google Adsense or other systems then you can put a banner that links to the product's sales page and if its conversion rate is 5% and the payout for each sale is 10$ then you get 50$ every 100 unique visits, if your traffic is about 1000 unique visitors by day then guess that just 1 over 100 clicks the banner and so the product's sales page receives 10 visits by day; after 10 days you will perform 5 sales and this means that you can also think that your banner has a CPM of 5$ since one sale is performed every 2000 visits ( since CPM is counted for 1000 visits in this case you would have 0.5 sales per 1000 visits ).
