[$/sale] - This icon refers to the estimated revenue that is expected to be made per sale. This amount reflects the amount after refunds as well as ClickBank fees are accounted for. It is most recommended that you place your interest with products that are expected to make at least $10 per sale. This is an important aspect to look into, since you wouldn’t want to spend your time on something that isn’t going to be greatly profitable.

[%refd] – As a general rule, the higher the number, the better the product is. This symbol tells the percentage of sales that have been made. It is a good tell of which vendor makes the most of its sales.

[gray] - Also a good reference to use, as this will tell you what your competition is. This will be a representation of the amount of other affiliates that are promoting the same product that you may be looking into. ClickBank doesn’t give exact formulas of how they come up with this information, but it is still considered to be a good idea to use it.

Once you have decided that this is a system that you think you will be happy with, you’ll need to overview your product by clicking on the “pitch page” link.

The best way to send a compelling sales message is to have a few different important components: Updated videos, testimonials, or screenshots. Also, make sure that this information is up to date and has a very eye catching design.

Have you found all these elements? Then you’re all set to click on the “buy now” link, to ensure that the affiliate ID is correctly used, and that the conversion mechanism is working properly.

This link will ensure that you get the credit for the profits when a purchase is made. Also, ClickBank will provide a HTML code that can be used to put as a link on your own website.
