Clickbank Affiliate Network Explained

by Ewen Makepeace on November 26, 2009

ClickBank was founded in 1998 as a network that intermediates the online sales of digital informative materials, affiliate products and services together with membership and subscription packages. According to market studies, there are around 100,000 affiliates actively working on ClickBank at the moment with more than 12,000 of publishers promoting digital products. When we say ClickBank we say sales, since this business is definitely the most visited converting business on the Internet, servicing the international market at an incredibly high rate. The 20,000 of daily processed orders in fact convert into a million profit per twenty-four hours.

The successful business model that generates such huge profits to ClickBank relies on a formula that brings together more special product publishers, Internet affiliates, home business owners and consumers. The system is advantageous for product publishers that sell intellectual property through the network, for advertisers who get to promote their products worldwide for very affordable commissions and for consumers who can benefit of the chance to shop for products that are not available with regular shopping channels. ClickBank is the intermediary or the link between these three groups offering the guarantee of transparency of transactions, high quality anti-fraud protection and a secure operation platform.

The ClickBank clients included in the above mentioned groups can receive professional assistance for the optimization of their activity online. ClickBank follows a closed-system pattern, meaning that permanent development is not carried out at the expense of the customer, and most of all, it does not become the responsibility of the client. While with other programs, an affiliate would have to bring other vendors in order to augment the system, ClickBank does not impose any such obligations. The network makes profit only from the commissions resulting from sales, which once again points out to the extensive transaction rate conducted in this model.

What do consumers have to gain from ClickBank? The benefits for the individual clients comes in the form of specialized products that retail stores cannot include in their offer. The number of products available is huge, the transactions have all the safety expected level and the entire system incorporates only user and consumer-friendly features in all respects. Last but not least, extra money making opportunities are provided by ClickBank to affiliates and home business owners that add products and services from the network on their home page. The most advantageous of commissions here are up to 75% of the sales but more money can come out of referring publishers and affiliates to ClickBank.
