Understanding Clickbank Statistics to Grow Your Earnings

ClickBank Statistics and How They Can Explode Your Affiliate Earnings
by Wolfdave

ClickBank gives lots of advice to help product owners and affiliates increase their earnings but, sadly, some of that information can also cause big problems for inexperienced sellers. Statistics featured beneath products listed in ClickBank’s Marketplace cause most confusion, but they are actually easy to understand and have the biggest impact on growing your commissions at ClickBank.

ClickBank tells us:
“In the Marketplace products are ranked by their ‘productivity score’. To preserve the integrity of the system we do not publish the formula for the score, or the score itself, but we can say that it is a function of these factors:”
Those statistics look like this:

$/sale: $46.08 | Future $: - | Total $/sale: $46.08 | %/sale: 75.0% | %refd: 70.0% | grav: 313.00

They mean this:

$/sale - This is the average net amount earned by the affiliate for each sale of the product in question.

Future – This represents future potential earnings for affiliates for the product in question. Future earnings may come from additional products at the site and from future earnings from repeat payment products such as membership sites.

Total $/sale – This represents the sum of all initial sales and later payments such as from repeat payment products.

%/sale – This indicates the percentage of sale price received by affiliates, after ClickBank commissions are deducted. It ranges from single figure amounts to 75 per cent commission. But big isn’t always best and low affiliate commissions on high conversion products can generate better income than high percentage affiliate deals on poor selling products.

%refd – This is the percentage of a vendor’s product sales that are referred by affiliates. Some products are promoted exclusively by affiliates, presenting benefits and disadvantages the new affiliate should consider. Products promoted exclusively by affiliates, partnered by a high gravity score, are always worth considering, unlike other affiliate only promotions with low gravity scores which mean few affiliates are promoting those products. The latter might indicate products created purely for affiliate driven sales and may also imply the product owner lacks faith or inclination to market his own product. Low gravity affiliate only products might sggest the creator has not adequately pre-market tested the product.

Grav – Gravity - Relates to number of affiliates actually earning commissions from the product in question. The higher the figure, generally the greater the number of affiliates marketing the product. The higher the number, the greater the competition might be for affiliates newly promoting the product concerned.

However, those higher figures also indicate the product is popular with affiliates and is probably converting well from web site clicks to actual commissions. Heavy competition is a problem primarily for affiliates sharing much the same marketing methods, such as Pay-Per-Click and ezine advertising. High gravity scores impact little on affiliates using unusual or unique marketing methods such as writing their own articles to promote the product, advertising offline where the majority of affiliates market on the Internet, and so on.

There’s no doubt about it, at first glance those statistics are a big put off, but look again because they could be the most important information available to help you grow your ClickBank commissions.

How to enjoy Making Hundreds of Dollars/Pounds Every Hour Spent Promoting ClickBank Products

ClickBank is perhaps the world’s top choice for affiliates seeking quality products to offer their customers. That’s because the company is completely upfront and honest and totally committed to customer care. So you never see rubbish or inferior products promoted at ClickBank, and that means you’re unlikely to get many complaints from buyers or find yourself bombarded with refunds for whatever you promote from ClickBank.

But by far the best part about selling ClickBank products is that, once you have a winning formula, you simply repeat that formula, as often as you like, and you really can make money every day from a task that took less than an hour to accomplish.

Let me give you a few easy ‘do this, do that, make money today’ ideas for you to try right now:

* Sellers on eBay should add compliments slips to all their outgoing packages, mainly to thank buyers for their custom, and also to highlight other products to interest buyers from which the seller might earn generous affiliate commissions. So if you’re selling dog leads or cat collars, for example, you have a choice of literally dozens of dog and cat related products to choose from at ClickBank which, if added to your compliments slip, might generate quick and easy commissions from your eBay customers. It takes very little time to find a product that sells regularly for you through eBay which, if attracting regular sales, can lead to ongoing ClickBank commissions for many years to come. Isn’t it worth spending every available hour looking for new products to list on eBay with potential to promote ClickBank products on the back end?

* THIS IS MY OWN PARTICULAR FAVOURITE MONEY MAKING TECHNIQUE: you go to an article directory like ezinearticles.com, search for articles receiving hundreds or even thousands of hits within their first few days online, then you go look for a product at ClickBank to suit people reading those articles. Next you write your own article on a similar subject – don’t ever copy, plagiarise, break copyrights – you upload your own article to the same article directory as the article you emulated. You add your affiliate link for the ClickBank product in the resource box for the article. Note that some article directories do not allow affiliate links in resource boxes, Ezine Articles is one, but you can give readers more information about the product at your own web site or blog or use what’s called the ‘Forwarding’ technique to lead readers directly to the ClickBank vendor’s product page with your affiliate link hidden behind the scenes. That article can take less than an hour to create and can generate ClickBank commissions potentially for many years to come.
