Clickbank has been around for years and has earned
an excellent reputation online. They make it easy
for anyone to be able to take credit card payments
from their websites without the hassle of obtaining
a merchant account. It also has a built in affiliate
program. For their trouble they take a small
percentage of each transaction plus a 1.00 service
fee.
The problem with Clickbank is they're lacking in
the "user interface" department. They have a simple
log in that will show you your sales but as far
as powerful options to analyze and manipulate
your data, they have none.
Lucky for you other software developers have stepped
up to the plate and come up with some pretty cool
options to enhance your life as an online Clickbank
merchant.
1) CBExtract: http://CBExtract.com
A powerful piece of software that gives you
several ways to manage and manipulate your sales
data. You can analyze sales trends for a specific
time period, details of profits for the fiscal
year, even send an email to all of your clients.
CBExtract can manage multiple Clickbank accounts
and even shows you who your top affiliates are.
2) ClickSalez: http://Clicksalez.com
Another powerful option but at this time not taking
on any new customers.
3) EasyClickMate: http://EasyClickMate.com
A Clickbank tool that helps you to manage your
army of affiliates. Some of what it does; allows
you to give your affiliates unique url's for
each different product that you sell. All of
the unique url's will link to your domain,not
Clickbank's which will increase your link
popularity which is excellent for your search
engine ranking.
This product also will give you marketing statistics
such as click throughs, sales and conversion ratios
for all of your affiliates and show you who your
top sellers are. It sends out automatic emails
to each of your affiliates every time they make
a sale. The cost is only 67.00.
4) CBCourier: http://CBCourier.com

Merchants can see at a glance who their best
affiliates are and affiliates can watch their
