I guess it's one of the main reasons that PPC direct linking doesn't work so well anymore. Everybody wants to read a review before buying something, although I think people are getting more wary these days as they are starting to realise that some marketers will post a great review just to get a sale - even if the product is crap. Bypassing Clickbank sales pages works really well for me because I have very little competition from other affiliate marketers who dismissed the product because of its crappy sales page. I use Derrick Van Dyke's Covert Affiliate Links http://www.covertaffiliatelinks.com (not aff) and I think it works in pretty much the same ways as Stealth Affiliate. Very simple to install and use.

Hence from this perspective also is it not better for the Affiliate Marketers to have their own content? What do you say? Thanks. Hi Andrew,

Here's a really good one specifically for Clickbank so you can bypass poor sales letters. http://www.clickbankbypass.com/ That's a direct link. It's not an affiliate link or my product. It's just good. Gregg Pretty cool, Don. Here’s a really good one specifically for Clickbank so you can bypass poor sales letters. http://www.clickbankbypass.com/ That’s a direct link.

You can get even better results if your use your articles to send them to your own sale page on your website and then use a product like Stealth Affiliate at http://www.stealthaffiliate.com to send them directly to the merchant’s order/payment page. This way you can completely skip the merchant’s sales page and you can also use this method with your pay-per-click landing pages. Hi Andrew,

My number one converting page is a balanced review of an affiliate program. "Here's what I like about it. Here's what it does. Here's what I don't like about it. Here's how it benefits you..." Works pretty dang well. You know, people just want to know a reason why to buy something. If you could just give one good reason before they get to that affiliate page instead of "It's the best EVAR!" then you could make a sale. See ya, Jason Great post Andrew.

I find this especially true for physical products like golf clubs, exercise equipment, furniture, etc. A lot of these types of physical goods don't have much of a sales page at all. A lot of merchants in niches like this have nothing more than a product description so doing a little more selling in your article can work wonders. Gregg Good article, Andrew.

I've promoted products from online stores when there's been a TV ad campaign running for the product in the states... so the people who search it online are almost already sold... the TV campaign gave them more than just a gentle presell, then they came online just to order! Unfortunately the majority of those products don't enjoy the same fortune :( Stu,
