If you haven't heard of ClickBank before, then it's a marketplace of over 100 000 products that are available for instant electronic download. Of these some25000 products offer an affiliate income. If you promote these products and these promotions lead in a sale then you will typically earn between 60% and 75% of the sale price as a commission for your self. These commissions are administered by ClickBank and are paid forthinghly. To participate you need a ClickBank id (called a nickname) and you can get this nickname for free By Following this Link. Don't worry, enrollment is entirely free.

Once you have your nickname you'll want to get a bunch of products to start promoting so that you can begin earning some money. This is where you encounter your first problems. ClickBank itself is geared towards putting affiliates in touch with vendors. To get clickbank products to promote you have to go to the vendors themselves. But ClickBank is huge with many, many products to promote. Surely there must be an easier way?

Well, ClickBank do offer a datafeed in XML format that they re-build every night. Which is grea. But that datafeed contains nothing more than affiliate information. It's almost useless if you want to sell stuff. But, don't despair, as another solution is here.

I've been busy over the past month or so building a ClickBank site that displays all products in ClickBank. I've even hand-crafted the product descriptons and images myself so thay're great for selling products. You can see the Celtnet ClickBank Marketplace here. But, I hear you ask, what has this to do with me. Well, in writing the search code for this site I came to the realization that the code could actually be used by anyone on their websites. An example of the code for such a search page can be seen below:

<div align=center>

<form name="search" action="http://www.celtnet.org.uk/auctions/search.php" method=GET>

<span style="font-size:10px">Powered by <a href="http://www.celtnet.org.uk/auctions/marketplace.php?cbid=YourClickBankName">celtnet.org.uk</a>

</span>

<br/>

<input size=45 maxlength=40 name="keywords" value=''>

<input type="hidden" name="uid" value="YourClickBankName">

<br>

<input type="radio" name="t" value="1" checked>all words

<input type="radio" name="t" value="2">any word

<input type="radio" name="t" value="3">exact match

&lt;input type=hidden name="r" value="downloads">

<input type=submit value=Search>

</form>

</div>

Simply copy and paste the code above into your website nad blog. Just remember to change the YourClickBankName in the code with your ClickBank nickname before using this code!

To get it to work on your website all you need to do is to change the 'YourClickBankName' in the code above to your own ClickBank nickname. Once you've done this then your clickbank name is transmitted to 95% of all the search results returned by any query made on your web page (my clickbank nickname is inserted into the other 5%). This means that 19 out of every 20 purchases made through your link on my site will result in a comission being paid to you. The other 1 time the commission will be paid to me and 60% of any money I make on that sale goes to my 'Help Stefan Charity' campaign. So I think that it's a fair trade for my giving you the code for free.

The search code works in any HTML/XML page or blog and you can get even more search box options here. Basically I'm giving you the chance to monetize your website with a ClickBank serach box for free! (I'm even giving you the code for the search box itself!). You can leverage from my hard work to add another income source to your website or blog today. So, what have you got to lose, why not grab the code I'm offering and add another income source to your web presence?
