| 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.

affiliates are.

new customers.
