New ClickBank Features: Product Image & Title, Supplemental Email Addresses, Customer Service Phone Number, and Additional Query String Parameters
April 18, 2008
We’ve been hard at work creating tools to help you increase conversion and better manage your account. With today’s release, ClickBank is introducing the ability to add a unique product image and title to the order form. In addition, we’ve added supplemental email addresses to your account to allow you to route specific notification types to distinct email boxes of your choosing. We also allow you to add a Customer Service Phone number to your account. The phone number is used by our customer service staff to provide to customers as an alternative communication tool with you. Lastly, we’ve added additional query string parameters to allow you to further personalize your Thank You Page.
For more information about these changes please refer to the 2008-04-15 Release Summary posting.
Decommissioning of eChecks as a Method of Payment
April 18, 2008
After careful consideration, ClickBank will no longer accept eChecks as a payment method as of 2008-04-15. Please make certain to update your website(s) to reflect this change.
eChecks account for less than 1 percent of total ClickBank sales volume, yet have a significant fraud and revoked sale rate. We recently ran an order form split test to determine what impact eChecks have on sales conversion. The test showed no significant difference in conversion rate whether the eCheck option was enabled or not. These results indicate the presence or absence of eChecks as a payment option does not significantly influence customers’ purchase decision. After 2008-04-15, customers can still pay from their checking account by using a Visa/MC debit card or a bank account funded PayPal account.
When updating your website(s) to remove any references to eChecks, you may also want to update your payment button images. The images and instructions for use are located in the ClickBank Payment Link FAQ #3.
Persistance Works
April 17, 2008
You hear it all the time, “affiliate programs never work”, “you can’t make money online”,”I tried that and it is a scam”
You know what I see all the time? I see people that are not persistent. They join a program with instant riches in their head, they join a few traffic exchanges, maybe they even place an ad, or pay for some PPC listings. In the end they make little to no money and it ends up costing them more than they made in those two weeks.

Making Your Presence Known on the Web

Also, what many online gurus will not tell you, is that in order to be truly successful on the web you have to present some kind of authority on the product you are promoting.
