Had an autoblog, which fell out during Panda, but now it's on page 2.

I had some crap image in the sidebar linking them to the sales page.

I just Iframed the sales page, as part of my home page, and it looks just like part of the site. It still uses my hoplink which is awesome.

Is that allowed?

Yeah, I tested my affiliate link and everything seems to be working. No sales since I put it in, but traffic is low. Once it climbs back up, we'll see what happens.
 
Clickbank Help Section said:
Invalid HopLinks

To ensure proper tracking of your HopLink referrals, your HopLink needs to open into the top level of a new or existing window. For most affiliates, this is not a problem. However, some affiliates attempt to hide their HopLinks by having them open into other types of sub-window objects, such as frames, iframes, layers, applets, or images. These types of HopLinks are considered invalid, and can result in lost affiliate referral credit, incorrect display of your website, or, in the case of abuse of the HopLink system, could result in account termination without notice.

Did a quick search for "iframe" in the official Clickbank help section. Although it's ideal for hiding the ID, it can cause cuts in affiliate credits apparently. I wouldn't mess with it myself.
 
Well, Clickbank claims that you won't get credit if you used iframes.
But even if that's not true, this falls under cookie-stuffing (since the visitor is stuffed with the hoplink cookie unknowning), therefore if someone reports you to Clickbank you can get banned for it.
 
I do this on one of my websites and my intention isn't fraudulent, but I had no idea that it could be considered so. I just wanted to get the product on my pages and read right away. I think I'll change it up a bit...could be what is affecting my sales. I posted on another thread that I thought I may have a problem somewhere with CB.

That's probably it...don't recommend it then...will be fixing it today...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, but from what I'm reading here it sounds like ti could cause different problems...like NOT GETTING PAID perhaps?

I can't live with that, hell no!
