[ClickBank Thank You page ][CB University Review][Contact me]
[C]lickBank University Review
I wanted to become a vendor and sell my product via ClickBank, but couldn't get my Thank You page to work with ClickBank's infernal "query string parameters." If you're in the same situation, perhaps the easy, inexpensive solution I came upon will work for you, too. Sure, you could spend hundreds of dollars every year for ClickBank's "Builder" product/service. But if you can already create your own Web site for your product and want an alternative to wasting a lot of money on ClickBank's Builder product every year, here's a possible solution.
First, you can create your own Web sites fairly easily by paying a web hosting company to host your products' Web sites and using one of their tools to build your Web site. (A lot of Web hosting companies provide easy-to-use Web site building tools similar to ClickBank's Builder as part of their web hosting service.) I did that via the hosting company [arvixe.com], but there are also many others to choose from that charge a fraction of what you'd pay for ClickBank's Builder each year.
As ClickBank mentions in the section on Passing Data at https://support.clickbank.com/entries/22829862-Creating-a-Payment-Link, they send "query string parameters" to your Thank You page after every purchase of your product. Don't know what "query string parameters" are? Well, I didn't either and thus I couldn't get my Thank You page to work with ClickBank's system. That meant I couldn't get my product approved to sell via ClickBank! It was very frustrating and ClickBank's support personnel just told me that they can't help with that and suggested I hire a programmer. I thought there had to be a better, more efficient, and less expensive way to solve that problem.
After hours of researching it, I determined that you have to use PHP (I know, more gibberish) to get your Web site's Thank You page to work with ClickBank's query string parameters. I did not want to spend dozens or hundreds of hours learning PHP and how to apply it to my Thank You pages. Thank goodness I was able to find a PHP software product that solves the problem for far less money. And unlike ClickBank Builder, it's only a one-time charge, not a recurring annual charge. It also provides the benefits of automated thank you emails to buyers and protects your products from thievery and unauthorized distribution! I was able to easily and quickly follow its simple installation instructions to upload its files to my Web site. Now my product's Thank You page works perfectly with ClickBank and my product files are protected! I am quite relieved that I found a simple, inexpensive solution to this roadblock to being a ClickBank vendor. So for those of you in the same situation, I hope these tips are of some insight. You can get more info on or buy the Thank You page protector software I used at [clickbankthankyou.com]. I want to be forthright and explain that is an affiliate link, as I was so delighted with the product that I decided to promote it as an affiliate. And just so you know, at the time of this writing, their sales page for their product isn't all that pretty (and may not ever be, considering that they've been offering it for years)—but the product worked so well for me that I am happy with my purchase and wanted to pass on this information. If this was of some help to you, I welcome you to [shoot me an email]. Best wishes with your Thank You page and your success with ClickBank. - Mike
