Following in the footsteps of Google, Yahoo! and others; ClickBank has gone public with information about its new “customer-facing advertising” network. With an email inviting existing ClickBank merchants to place their ads last month, ClickBank anticipates the launch of new ad platform soon.
According to the email I received as well as information posted on ClickBank’s website, “ClickBank’s new ad serving system will allow affiliates to automatically display publisher products and sites relevant to their niche by generating a simple piece of code that displays these ads on their sites.
“In addition, the fields contained in your ad will soon be added to our XML datafeed, so third-party application developers will be able to create additional ways for affiliates to easily display these ads to consumers.”
If you haven’t gotten an invitation from ClickBank yet, check your account. You may still be able to participate. Log in then go to your control panel and click on My Site. Then check for a section labeled “Customer-Facing Advertisements.”
As with Google and others, there are limits to how long your ad can be. The headline is allotted 28 characters and the two copy lines allow for 36 characters each. You can enter a short list of keyphrases associated with your product. A total of eight keyphrases are accepted per product and each must be 25 characters or less in length.
It will be interesting to see, as time goes by, if the same principles that apply to PPC advertising will hold true with ClickBank’s ad platform. Only time – and a little experimentation – will tell.

i used both Clickbank and adsense on my websites and i would have to say that i earn more on Clickbank than adsense. as long as you have good US and UK traffic, you would earn more on Clickbank.

Yes, for digital products, Clickbank is good. However, if you’re selling/promoting physical products, Clickbank won’t be able to help since they don’t offer physical products.
