Review of the New ClickBank Elite
The old ClickBank Elite is no more. Enter the new ClickBank Elite!. The new CB Elite version 1.47 has three notable features: 1. Enhanced Search and Sort functions for finding exceptional products to promote, 2. CB Ads for monetizing traffic and 3. Link Cloaking for stopping commission theft.
1. New CB Elite search and sort functions let you download a copy of the Clickbank product list database (1.5 meg zipped, 7.4 meg unzipped) and store your copy for future use. Once unzipped and loaded you can sort by categories, subcategories or all. Sort and select on any of 7 factors: gravity, popularity, $/sale, % commission, Title, description and % referred. You can specify maximum or minimum values, or range of values you want. From the main screen you can easily click off from a product to a new web page to see the landing site, check the CBTrends graphs, check the popularity ranges in all categories and subcategories or get a hoplink. Full analytical control by mouse-click from one control point. When finished just close the window and go to the next item. Very convenient.
CB Elite now incorporates popular Affiliate Project X searches for Leach, Workhorse or Rising Star, as well as new product searches.
My personal observation was that having all these CB Elite features in one place at the same time saved me about 60% to 70% of the time necessary to find and check out a product. Also, because it was fast and you did not have to go away to open another window to see another aspect, it was easier to keep focussed on the product at hand until I finished analyzing and classifying it.
CB Elite is a very good tool for empowering Affiliate Marketers to check out and compare products fast.
