How to Direct your affiliate Link straight to A Clickbank Sales Page
on a sales page you’ve created
This is for those who can create a better sales page than the merchant has provided us, who need that important affiliate link directly to the Clickbank order form. This explains the way to fabricate that link!
What are the advantages of creating your own direct link?
Perhaps their sales page not aesthetically pleasing.
Or it has affiliate links of the owner on it. Quite inappropriate.
Or it has Google AdSense Ads on it. Hmmmmm.
Or it has links to other pages on it that could take the reader off of our sales page.
Or it has links to free offers on it.
We want only one link on the sales page – the BUY BUTTON!!!!
And we want that buy button to link directly to the Clickbank order page with our affiliate ID accompanying it.
Here’s how:
Log in to Clickbank
Select the product you want to sell.
Get a Hoplink – copy it and paste it into Notepad or other text editor.
(At the time of making this video, the Clickbank hoplinks are encrypted.)
Paste the link into your browser and press ‘Enter’ and it will convert the link to the standard format – but most importantly it will take you to the sales page you are trying to avoid! 😉
Hover over the “Buy Now” link of the product you want from the sales page and in your status bar, you will see the Product Number. Make note of that, or right-click on the buy link and copy the link to the clipboard, then paste that into your text editor.
Now you have both the ProductID AND the MerchantID in the format productID.MerchantID.pay.clickbank.net
To get the ItemNumber, click on the “Buy Now” link. This brings it to the order page.
Select the item number from the end of the URL and copy it to the clipboard, then paste that also into your text editor.
We now will replace the appropriate items into the text below to construct our Clickbank Order Form link that we will use on our sales page for our own Buy button:
clickbank.net/sell.cgi?yourID_merchantID¬/productNumber/itemNumber
(remember, the itemNumber came from the order page. Also, note the underscore between yourID and the merchantID!)
For instance:
clickbank.net/sell.cgi?ImAnAffiliate_Hes¬AMerchant/2/2
You cannot use the link that the merchant’s sales page took you to earlier (when you got the itemNumber) because it has a time-code and encrypted item information in it. You have to allow our “constructed” link that we’ve put together to “auto-generate” this time-coded, encrypted link for us at the time the buyer lands on the order page. It is entirely secure in https and is ssl encrypted from there on, however, so don’t worry!
(Do contact the merchant and explain that you are uncomfortable with their sales page, that you are not guaranteeing a sale, but would feel more comfortable making your own sales page.)

Mel, you've improved on my video enormously with the circle graphics and other embellishments – thank you! This is what Creative Commons is for – keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot man! I initially contacted the owner of the products I wanted to promote, but then I waited for like 3 days and no replies. I went on and sent another e-mail, but they don't reply me too 🙁 I was looking for ways to get to the sales page immediately. Well I found it thanks to your video! Thanks mate!
