Hi,

I am going to be launching a new product with clickbank soon and I am planning out my marketing campaign.

One of the big things I want is for the product to be mostly affiliate driven, as in, affiliates making most of my sales, because of this I am going to offer high commissions, lots of promotional tools and maybe even no email capture form.

The problem is getting the site to rank well in the marketplace in order to get the affiliates, when the site launches I am going to have to do all the promotion myself to get better rankings.

Could you guy's share some ways to quickly improve rankings in the marketplace?

What sort of methods do you's use to get and maintain high rankings?

Thanks a lot.

As far as I am aware, the rankings of CB's Marketplace is based purely on sales related stats. See here: https://www.clickbank.com/info/ranking.html

What I did before with some degree of success was:
(Compilation of strategies used in the past - you don't have to use all together, just what fits your marketing plan.)
1) Promote the new product with your 2nd CB account to improve the gravity.
2) Promote the new affiliate program to your opt-in list.
3) Announce to your current affiliates about the launch of your new product.
4) Find fellow marketers who are interested in the new program and offer them a copy of the product in exchange for a review.
5) If you have a 'guru' friend, you can offer him certain special priviledges. For instance, giving him sole rights to market your product for the first 2 months before opening the affiliate program to the public. (By then your rankings should be high enough to go public anyway)
6) Post your new affiliate program in affiliate directories. Here's some:

http://www.AssociatePrograms.com
http://www.affiliatescout.com
http://www.affiliatefirst.com
http://affiliatehangout.com

http://www.affiliatetracking.com
7) Post in forums such as the 1 linked to this forum:

All the best
Damian

Another way to grow your marketplace ranking would be to open more clickbank accounts and promote your own product as an affiliate.

Yes they do allow it, in fact it was a strategy recommended by Jim Edwards a couple of years back and also again by Mike Filsaime later on.

I have been doing it for quite sometime without any problem.
Account A markets Account B's product and vice versa

Im sure if clickbank allows you to use your own affiliate link to buy products and refer yourself for new accounts. Then they shouldn't mind someone doing this.

Yeah Damian,

Thats what i was saying.. If they let you do those two things then im sure its not going to be a problem.

Hey guy's,

Thanks for helping out, some good tips here.

I wonder what Clickbank's opinion is on the issue of promoting one account with another, seems a great way to boost gravity but would they take action if they found out?

So basically it just comes down to making sales and recruiting affiliates manually, slow and steady, good enough

Thanks guy's
