Q:  Is Clickbank a Scam?

A:  Short answer is no.  Longer answer is that Clickbank has its failings.

Six Figure Clicks - Is Clickbank a Scam?

I use Clickbank for marketing various of my Six Figure Clicks ebook products.  Clickbank has good points.  But I don't believe I am blind to Clickbank's failings.  Like any other affiliate marketing company, you simply deal with it.

Azoogle, which I otherwise love, continually blocks my log-in efforts.  I have since given up on Azoogle.  How much worse can Clickbank be?

  1. Payments only by check, not direct deposit.
  2. Many products on Clickbank are inferior.  Thus, the perception is that Clickbank itself is inferior.
  3. Simplistic interface.
  4. Practically zero analytics.
  5. Mediocre tracking.
  6. A largely faceless corporate entity.

On the other hand, I find Clickbank's "down and dirty" approach somewhat refreshing -- sometimes.  It's so brutally simple to get signed up.  So brutally simple to grab hoplinks and get started.

If Clickbank were to become more sophisticated, the entry rate for new marketers would drop.  Clickbank depends on new marketers acting on an impulse to start marketing new, hot, and profitable products.
