Clickbank vs. other affiliate networks

There is no waiting for final reports from merchants, there is no cheatings with tracking codes on Thank You pages... Affiliates can promote any vendor instantly, without need to be approved from every vendor. And, the best feature is that affiliate can check vendor just clicking on order form link from their page. On bottom of payment form is affiliate nickname displayed. No need to make test sale to see if link is working.

Bad side? Yes, there is. Affiliate links are simple and easy to hack (replacing nickname), and sometimes payment form is not working as expected. Also, there is no tools for communication between affiliates and vendors. And, small number of affiliates is promoting vendors using spyware, cookie stuffing and other unacceptable ways. Thanks to the transparent tracking, they can be spotted easy (hop=nickname on landing page, affiliate nickname on payment form), and banned from ClickBank.

Comparing with an other affiliate networks, Clickbank is exteremly easy to use, for vendors and for affiliates.
