Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I haven’t had any prominent success with affiliate marketing – particularly with Clickbank, and this year I’ve decided to give it another try.
My initial plan is to promote a few related Clickbanks.net products within the same niche/category.
Before that, here are a few answers I would like to ask:
How could you possibly drive traffic to your Clickbank site?
Is it possible to build a site with only one squeeze page – to capture email leads by providing free-ebook and etc?
Appropriate advice is deeply appreciated.
Looking forward to having your response.

Hi, All
1. I am researching a Clickbanks.net vendor for my website – and am acting as if I was a customer for starters, but have not purchased anything YET. So I simply signed up for the newsletter, and in about 5 days time have received just as many emails to buy the product. If I decide to affiliate his product – would I get the commissions from his newsletter campaigns that are selling the product, regardless of how long he sends the email newsletters, as long as I have him signed up as vendor on my site?
2. – Another similar product CB vendor that I am researching – not purchased anything yet, signed up for the newsletter, receiving almost daily emails about a _Completely different Product_ – and not one mention of the original product on the store -it goes to a whole new gig. The original product was an audio file for meditation, the newsletter gig is for ebooks on a totally different topic – “how to manifest your desires, attract what you want, ect” Would I as a vendor get commission on those ebooks? Sounds like a scam to me – if I don’t. And it’s not what I was promoting on my site, anyway.
Thanks much for any input!

Hi some clickbank question.
Do you need to have a website first when applying for clickbank affliate program?
Second, how do you usually promote clickbank products? Is it the same as Amazon’s products. I’ve heard some of their products are infoproducts so how can I promote this. Is it okay to approach it in a blog style promotion in my site. Also a good example of clickbank affiliate website is appreciated so I can sort some of my questions by looking at it.
Thanks. 🙂

I’ve just been looking at Clickbank Integrated Sales repoting and I can’t quite suss out if it works for affiliates or if it’s just for vendors. In the help center on clickbanks.net it mentions it in the Affiliate section under ‘Tracking Your Promotions’, so you’d assume it does work for affiliates, However when trying to follow the instructions for using it with Google Analyitics it says you need the product Thankyou page URL, which affiliates don’t have access to, so now I’m not sure.
To set it up for Goole Adwords you don’t seem to need the Thankyou page URL.
Now I’m confused and can’t seem to find much information other than what is on clickbank’s help center.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to use Integrated Sales Reporting with Google Analytics as an affiliate, and if so has anyone got any experience doing so.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I have a product idea that I am considering selling through Clickbank. I don’t expect it to be just a HUGE seller – it’s in a craft niche and I know that’s not one of the better ones, but I know a lot about this niche and can create a great product. There doesn’t seem to be anything comparable on CB.
But I thought this would be a great opportunity to ‘get my feet wet’ in this area of IM.
What I am wondering about is if a product has a gravity of 10 (that’s just an arbitrary number), what does that represent? I’m just trying to get an idea of about how many sales are possible, although I know that no one can really predict this.
My other question is how do affiliates find the product to promote it? The reason that I want to go through Clickbanks.net is so that I can focus on the product and affiliates can focus on the promotion, right? So, will I still need to go out and find affiliates?
