Have you looked at the new package released some time back? Its called the Clickbank Code. It promises to help you make $48,506.88 in the first month using the ugliest website. Well I am yet to understand why $48,506. I mean why not 45K or 50K.
Like all other products, the clickbank code salespage tells you the story on how struggling affiliates can make quick money using clickbank products. They say “Never judge a book by its cover”. I guess that seems to be true even with the various products on Affiliate marketing.
Anyway, let us get to The clickbank code review.
What is The Clickbank code
The Clickbank Code is a complete video training series on making money using Clickbank. The Clickbank code contains total of 29 videos with 6 PDF modules. The training series covers various aspects of clickbank marketing from finding products to promote, getting free traffic, building landing pages quickly for your offers and auto pilot income streams.
The PDF modules cover the summary of the content inside the Clickbank code training series. I like the PDF modules since it gave me a quick summary & short tips that I could remember easily.
Module 1 – Introduction
The Clickbank code video training series starts with the basics of affiliate marketing and general advice on how to proceed with affiliate marketing. The videos and audio in this training series is quite good and unlike some other videos out there, this training series is quite interesting and does not get you bored. The training starts with the basics of clickbank. This explains on what is the conversion rate, Clickbank Gravity, Whats PPC, CPC, CPM, CTR etc. This video also shows easy excel based tool to find the product which can make you money. For a change this is a easy method which shows you easy way to find the profitable product and that too without any complicated tools or spying on your competition. But then If you know Clickbank already, you can just skip this video. Probably just watching the last video in this module will be sufficient.
Module 2 – Keyword Research
The next module explains the keywords research with free tools like Google keyword tool and spyfu. The module focuses more on the excel tool developed by the author. The author has not explained the logic in deciding how the tool suggests on whether you should go for the campaign or not, but atleast with all the examples used in the video, the tool suggested ‘Go for it’. Secondly all the examples used in the video had a loss forecast. So the question is, should you really go for the campaign just because the tool suggested? Well, atleast this does have some numbers behind it so it may make sense rather than just blindly promoting a campaign and losing money. (I did that with one of the campaigns when I thought the product was fantastic and will do well with international PPC. I lost about $200 promoting the product. )
Module 3 – Landing Pages & web site
The third module looks at various aspects of creating your landing page. The video starts with finding good domains names. Some of the tips suggested by the author contradict the gurus of affiliate marketing but overall the information pretty much is the same. Find short domains, register a domain, get a good host, host your site, use wordpress for your blog, use SILO structure for the site, create your story for your landing page then finally create and host your site on the web host. There are five videos in this module but all the videos pretty much talk the same thing in different ways. The fourth video provides some pointers on creating a character on your site who will presell the product to the visitor. Honestly this module was pretty much a waste as you can get this information from any internet marketing forums.
Module 4 – Traffic with PPC
The fourth module teaches you on how to get traffic with PPC. The videos focuses on Google adwords and lay out the strategy on creating ads on adwords. Some of the pointers provided in the video are good. Some of the tips again contradict what the gurus teach. Guess the strategies explained by the author may have worked for him. There is nothing wrong to try. The videos also show how to track and decide on whether the product you are promoting is good in long term. In the videos the author also suggests that you should test the product for 500 clicks before you dump the product. The only question is how many newbies out there are willing to spend money for 500 clicks. The last video in this module is definitely a must watch as it deals with the common problems newbies face with PPC. Anyway overall this module is definitely recommended for all beginners or those struggling with PPC.
Module 5 – Article Marketing
The next module deals with getting free traffic with Bum marketing with Articles. The videos teach you on how to do keyword research for your articles, how to write articles as well various tips on creating articles to get SEO results. The articles also talks about outsourcing for your articles needs. The videos also give some good tips (both white hat and black hat) on getting backlinks & exposure to your articles and your site to increase the traffic. You should use caution when implementing the black hat tips suggested by the author but you can definitely follow the white hat techniques. The tips suggested by the author are new techniques and are really worth trying.
Module 6 – Free traffic techniques
The last module in the course deals with other free traffic techniques like forum marketing etc. The videos give some nice tips on mixing different techniques when doing forum marketing.

User opinions & feedback for The Clickbank Code.
Robert on warrior forums
Summary – not enough detail for newbies – nothing new for experienced – and the middle ground will still not commit to putting a budget of $500 a day into Adwords (I would guess).

And the kicker…
It uses the the Google CPC/Position and Traffic stats to calculate if the product will (could) be profitable.
