Internet Marketing Tips - Clickbank Or PayDotCom?

A lot of marketers who are creating products for the first time are having a hard time deciding between hosting their product with Clickbank or with PayDotCom. Well, there is good and bad to both of these companies and unfortunately, there is no perfect solution. This article is going to point out the major differences between going with Clickbank or PayDotCom. Hopefully, after reading this, you'll have a better idea of which direction you want to go in.

Clickbank is without a doubt the bigger of the two companies. There is no question here. They are the king of the affiliate marketplace. Because of this, by posting your product there, you will get the benefit of an army of affiliates to help you promote it. This is a very key benefit to going with Clickbank. Another great benefit is that you don't have to pay your affiliates. Clickbank does that for you. So that's a load off of your mind.

The downsides of Clickbank are few, but they do exist. The first one, and one many complain about, is their no questions asked refund policy. A person doesn't even have to give a valid reason for requesting a refund. It is simply granted. Because people know this, there are some out there who take advantage of this policy. Another problem with Clickbank is that they allow affiliates to purchase from their own links, thus taking commissions away from the person who rightfully should have earned it.

PayDotCom, on the other hand, does not allow affiliates to purchase using their own links, which is a big incentive for affiliates to want to go with PayDotCom for promoting products. They know their commissions are safe. However, there is more work to do from the standpoint of the vendor because PayDotCom does not pay commissions like Clickbank does. Each vendor is responsible for paying affiliates himself. So this is more work for the vendor.

Probably the biggest problem for the vendor with PayDotCom is that they simply don't have the affiliate base that Clickbank has, so you're not going to get as many affiliates promoting your product as you would with Clickbank. This means fewer sales for you by going with PayDotCom.

As you can see, there is no perfect solution to this question. Each company has its good and bad points. Personally, I go with Clickbank because I don't have the time to pay each affiliate myself. I like that Clickbank handles that. Plus, I like that Clickbank does give me more traffic because of its larger affiliate base.

Ultimately, the decision is yours. I hope, however, this article has alerted you to the pros and cons of each company so that you can make an informed decision.

To YOUR Success,
