I asked readers if they could spot the problem with a Clickbank product for which I'd received an affiliate whitelist invitation in my “Clickbank Whitelist Invitation: Can You Spot the Problem?”<\/a> post.<\/p>\n

Everyone was asked to leave a comment on the article<\/a> if they saw an issue with the product mentioned.<\/p>\n

Boy, you folks are smart! <\/p>\n

You picked up on more issues than the one that caused me to reject promoting this Clickbank product, the (OFP Kit<\/a>) because you were looking at the sales page from not only an affiliate marketer's perspective but that of a customer as well. <\/p>\n

Good for you!<\/p>\n

I agree with everyone who posted comments about the pitch being less than honest, i.e. in terms of results being ‘guaranteed' from ‘Day 1' and a misspelling to boot! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

What very few people noted, however, was the affiliate marketer's<\/em> primary reason NOT to promote this Clickbank product. <\/strong><\/p>\n

OFP Kit<\/a> could have been the best product ever to help new Internet entrepreneurs learn to make money online, but I still wouldn't have promoted it for the simple reason that the offer ‘leaked' affiliate commissions, i.e. an effort is made to scam affiliate marketers from their rightful commissions.<\/p>\n

Here's how that<\/em> worked.<\/p>\n

I coded my affiliate link for the OFP Kit<\/a> and at the bottom of the sales page saw an ad for the ‘Lucrative Business Blueprint' product. <\/p>\n

\"Clickbank<\/p>\n

Clicking the Lucrative Business Blueprint<\/a> link and then the ‘Get Started' button at the bottom of that sales page I ended up on a Clickbank order form. I checked to see whether my affiliate ID (webvista2) had carried over to give me credit for sales of that product.<\/p>\n

It did NOT.<\/p>\n

Circled in red on the graphic below is the affiliate to whom sales would be credited, should YOUR leads choose to buy the ‘Lucrative Business Blueprint<\/a>‘, rather than the OPF Kit to which you directed them initially.<\/p>\n

\"Clickbank<\/p>\n

Hmmm…. not fair, right? <\/p>\n

That's not only not fair but SO not kosher in the affiliate marketing world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CORRECT way to link to another offer from a Clickbank sales page is to code the link WITHOUT an affiliate link. <\/p>\n

For example, if I were to link from my Super Affiliate Handbook<\/a> page to my membership site's sales page, I would link with its URL.<\/p>\n

I would NOT use a Clickbank affiliate link.<\/p>\n

It makes me think that the OPF Kit producers added that offer after<\/em> they got product approval from Clickbank because Clickbank would never<\/em> allow such leakage.<\/p>\n

So… is the problem solved?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. <\/p>\n

So, what do you think we, as affiliate marketers, should do to correct the situation?<\/p>\n

Please leave your thoughts in the Comment section below and I'll let you know what I did and whether the problem was resolved.<\/p>\n

Cheers,
