I'm thinking about promoting CB products, but I've heard recently Chrome or some anti virus software blocks CB links. With that and the low quality of many products in mind, should I avoid clickbank? Is anyone still making money with them here?
This question makes absolutely no sense.
You are an affiliate marketer. You want to sell products and get a commission based on doing that.
ClickBank is simply a place where merchants put their ClickBank products up to sell on. That is it. ClickBank lets anyone sell these merchant's products.
Why would you avoid all "ClickBank" products? That is like saying "should I not date Asians." What sort of a question is that? You date people that are cool, if they are Asian then neat. If they aren't cool then don't date them, Asian or not.
Promote good
products. If they happen to be on ClickBank, who GAF? This question is honestly just incredibly bizarre.
If your only concern is that ClickBank hoplinks are being detected by anti-virus software (which I extremely skeptical of) then just don't use the hoplinks? Use redirects. Why anyone would use the naked hoplink is beyond me, that URL is ugly as fuck, just redirect it through
your URL.
Are people still making money with them? Seriously? ClickBank is a place where merchants sell their products through. If the
products are still converting, their sales funnels are converting, etc etc then obviously people are going to be making money. And considering that that is obviously true, then yes, thousands of people are, obviously, making money by promoting products that
happen to be on ClickBank.
They aren't "ClickBank products" they're products that are being sold through ClickBank, look at each product
individually. If you go into a bookstore, and see a great book, would you say "oh, but what with the low quality of many books in mind here, I won't buy this book"? No. No you wouldn't. And don't worry about buyers being all "oh I've clicked 'buy now' and I see I'm on a CLICKBANK CHECKOUT PAGE well, ClickBank has lots of crappy products, this probably sucks too, I won't buy it" because most buyers won't even know what ClickBank even is.
