Hey Paul,

you see...you win on short term some money but, crediting some aff with your own leads >> increase cb gravity>>> have most exposure>>most aff are looking for gravity in clickbank>>>more aff will promote your product >>> on long term is a winning tactic ;)

Yes.. I do get this - but it's so rare that random affiliates in CB end up being good partners that I wouldn't even bother.

Maybe it's just me, but I prefer to with *with* my partners and get to know them / them know me etc. Not really interested in random clicks.

That way I get better quality tr4affic, targeted promotions and higher conversions.

More dollars in pocket that then stays there.

From what I was reading in the WF, clickbank has been cracking down with some of their vendors, the content of their sales pages, traffic etc. especially during launch period (from 30 to 90 days). Some of the posters were saying that they were being watched like "hawks", which set off a few "signals" for me about doing business with certain people. My guess would be, that it's due to the high refund rates and cheats going on with the grav etc. I've never used clickbank to sell my own products, I had my own affiliate program with a short list of people I had built strong relationships with. Even now, coming back after a hiatus, I will still follow that policy, since I've known a lot of these people for 10 to 12 years and we both know what we are getting into doing business together. I can't remember whom it was that grilled, "it's better to have a short list of strong affiliates then a thousand dead affiliates" into my head when I launched my first affiliate program, but it has been sound advice.

Which is precisely what happens.

This and other self-purchase tactics have been "taught" for years now in the CB product launch communities.

i still don't understand why most affiliates looks for gravity when pick a product to promote. probably most of them just don't know how is calculated ;)
