Nickname
Your ClickBank Nickname is the key to marketing products from the ClickBank marketplace. Each vendor has their own unique Nickname, and each affiliate has their own unique Nickname. To market a particular vendor’s product, you create what is called a “hoplink”. The hoplink is a web address (URL) that incorporates the Vendor’s Nickname and your Nickname. When somebody clicks on your hoplink, they are referred to the ClickBank site. ClickBank then extract the Nicknames from the hoplink so they can log who is the affiliate, and for which product. The visitor is then redirected to the vendor’s website sales page. This all happens automatically and transparently. The visitor probably doesn’t even know they’ve been via ClickBank.
When the sale of the product is made, ClickBank credit the affiliate with the sale, and they are allocated the commission on that sale. This is usually a percentage of the product price and can be anything up to 75%.
Hoplinks
Hoplinks all have the same format so you can create them yourself if you know the Vendor Nickname. However, when you find the product in the ClickBank Marketplace, as long as you are logged in, ClickBank will generate the Hoplink for you. All you have to do is copy it and paste it wherever you want to promote the product.
Hoplinks look like this:

http://foobar.johndoe.hop.clickbank.net.
You don’t really need to know what a Hoplink means, but you do need to know what it looks like so that you know you are promoting the right link. Just make sure that it contains your Nickname and you can’t go wrong.

ClickBank is an ecommerce system that allows vendors to sell their digital products over the Internet with ease. Clickbank handles the credit card processing for the vendor, and ensures that the buyer is taken to the product download page after the purchase has been completed.
Because all products sold via ClickBank must be digital, they always work on a two-page system; a sales page and a download page.Affiliates
What Clickbank is most famous for is its affiliate system. Marketers can sign up as an affiliate and promote any of the thousands of products in the ClickBank Marketplace. In return, they receive a commission from every sale that is made as a result of their referrals. ClickBank handle all the order processing and allocate the relevant commission to the affiliate.
Signing up is free. If you’re itching to get started, you can sign up with ClickBank here.Commissions
Commissions on products vary, but they may be as high as 75% of the sale price. This might seem like a lot to pay your sales people, but using an affiliate program could result in several thousand sales of a product compared with a handful of sales made on your own.
When a sale is made, ClickBank automatically divide the payment up:
They deduct their own service charge
The remaining amount is divided up according to the commission rate specified, between the vendor and the affiliate.Note that payments to vendors and affiliates are delayed due to the refund policy. If a customer decides they want a refund for the product, obviously no commission is paid out on that sale.
The ClickBank Marketplace
When a vendor sells a product through ClickBank, it is automatically added to the ClickBank Marketplace. At the time of writing there are over 6,000 products in the ClickBank Marketplace (many people quote more than 10,000, but the Marketplace contains a lot of duplicates because the vendors file them under more than one category).
As an Affiliate, you are free to select and market any of the products in the ClickBank Marketplace. All you need to do is to generate the necessary Hoplink and you are ready to go.Hoplinks
