As one of the leading affiliate hubs available, Clickbank needs to keep track of over 100,000 affiliates selling over 10,000 different products. With so many different hits to keep track of, in order to successfully create an effective and easy to use affiliate system, Clickbank created special links known as Hoplinks. Hoplinks links are links that reassigns hits from your website to a website of the merchandise you are toiling as a link to put up on auction. These links rapidly relocate the person through Clickbank(off their consent) awarding recognition for the hit and finally the sale. These hits are then logged in Clickbanks system, so that even if the individual does not purchase the item that day, if they purchase the item within 30 days you will still receive the credit. Also, Clickbank tracks hits so you can easily track important stats like conversion rates of the products that you are selling using a particular Clickbank ID. This lets you find out which products are winners and which ones are not. Though there is absolutely nothing wrong with Clickbanks hoplink programe, this has however not stopped them from getting condemnations. By the way this is not because Clickbanks associate scheme has one of the most competent and reasonable associate systems there are but because the links are aesthetically offensive. The huge numbers of letters and digits, several periods, and the links do not contain web addresses of the site you are at or even the sites that you want to visit. The valid concerns are that the sales are reduced because people these days don't trust the links. Many people believe that the links might mislead them particulary that of a review site when the link doesn't point to the site being reviewed. They tend to scroll over the links many times. However, by estimats it can be said that it has very little effect on sales. Many people still do not scroll over links, and those who are overcautious, do not buy the digital products offered on the actual website. On more thing to think about before you use the Clickbank hoplink program is the fact that your user ID is entrenched in the hoplink as well as tacked on to the website itself, when the instructions to redirect have been carried out. So as to make sure tracking is conducted accurately, Clickbank incorporates a ? UserID at the end of the user resource locator (url) of the website which visitors can clearly see at the top of the page. For this reason you may not wish to use your name as your user ID and you also do not want to pick a user ID that is improper since all your prospective clients will see it. However, as long as you are able to overlook the aesthetics of the Clickbank hoplink program, the system itself is one of the strongest and most efficient affiliate systems in the business. If you are going to become an affiliate for digital products, as long as you are using the Clickbank hoplinks you can be sure that all of your sales are properly tracked and you will get the credit you deserve.
