Search Engine Optimization - Webmaster Blog

I came across a utility named Clickbank Elite which i wanted to put to a test.

ClickBank Elite promises to

• Find the most popular products in the main Clickbank categories

• Find the most popular products in specific categories and subcategories

• List only new products

• Search for products by keyword (search only the product title or both the title and the description)

• Search for products by Clickbank ID (i.e. For products owned by a particular Clickbank member)

• Search for products using criteria ranges (e.g. gravity score between 30 and 70)

• Mix and match search criteria to get the results you want

• Order the search results in various ways

• Projects let you search for products that are up and coming and aren’t being heavily promoted by other affiliates

• Check the trends on products to see if they’re performing well or not

• Instantly create your hoplinks

• Cloak your hoplinks with the built-in affiliate link cloaker

• Learn how to use cloaked hoplinks to your advantage

• Check overall rankings for a product to see how it’s performing in all the categories and subcategories it’s listed in

• Export your results to a standard CSV file

• Create a range of Adsense-Style adblocks to advertise only the most popular Clickbank products

Working with ClickBank Elite is easy and straightforward:

You have a variety of options for browsing for profitable products, this includes various filters like filters for commissions, earnings, gravity and more.

Very helpful in my opinion are integrated special APX sorting algorithms, accessible from a quick-menu as seen in the picture above:

The autor incorporated specially optimized routines (as described in the ebook Affiliate Projekt X) for finding profitable products: "Rising Stars" as well as profitable products which he calls "Workhorses".

Workhorses and Rising Stars are products which are not as oversaturated as the mainstream clickbank products but still have lots of potential and are far easier to market than the well known other products.

Those "Special APX" functions can be accessed in addition to the normal browsing and filtering functions which can be applied to the huge clickbank catalog.

Of course there are standard functions too, for finding the most profitable products overall and similiar.

Cloaking and creating a new site - out of nothing:

What i do very much like is the feature of very easily be able to create cloaked hop-links. Believe me: For avoiding commission-theft and other reason you really, really want to cloak your hoplinks.
This happens in an extreme easy way with a mouseclick:

I have to say i am very pleased with the results of this cloaking-feature alone. After you edit the pagetitle, description and your own keywords you copy the resulting encrypted code into a simple HTML and upload it to your site.

The really, really interesting thing with this method of cloaking is that this script generates a 1:1 redirect/copy of the target-site accessible under your URL.

Short: I copy the code of the above box into a HTML and upload it to my site as i did as test on www.1up-seo.com/recommends/cbe.html

If i go to the above URL the browser URL stays on my site, but i get a 1:1 sales copy of whatever product on clickbank, and i did this with only one line of code in literally 20 seconds !!

This feature alone seems very interesting to me. Here a screenshot of a "new" site which i created in 20 seconds. Note the URL, and note i didn't need to do any designing or copying or anything except copy the above line in an HTML file. A ghost-clone-site appeared under my URL: 

Needless to say this site has my clickbankID embedded in it if you access the URL www.1up-seo.com/recommends/cbe.html

Conclusion:

Clickbank Elite is not a miracle tool but a very solid and extremely helpful All-In-One tool for any marketer dealing with clickbank.

Its strength is the browsing, filtering and the cloaker-feature.
Instead of going to various sites, here you have a All-In-One tool right at your fingertips.

Clickbank Elite is also very reasonable priced: It's only $67 and i think it's defintly worth it, for the cloaker-feature and creating ghost sites with sales copies alone
