How to earn money online from ClickBank ?

ClickBank lets the you earn a part of the revenue you make for their customers by facilitating sale of their products. ClickBank provides you a customized referral link which you can use anywhere and if a sale takes place with a customer arriving from that link, you get a handsome commission(which sometimes is more than 50% as well). All you need to do is get some eyeballs of targetted people who might be interested in that product and direct them through your customized link for that product (also called affiliate link). Following are some of the ways people achieve it:

1. Write a good review of the product and then put a "Click here to buy" link at the end.
2. Put some links for products based on the context of the article.
3. Spread the link through social networks like facebook, twitter, etc.
4. Identify the traffic you get on your website/blog and then analyze what product they would be needing and accordingly put a product link on the sidebar or something in your website/blog.

Though it is all good till now, there happens to be a way to get some of the clickbank products without even paying using simple Google search queries like:

1. <product name> inurl:”?cbreceipt=”
2. inurl:”?cbreceipt=” site:www.<productSite>.com
3. Thank You For Your Order + download site:www.<productSite>.com
4. Congratulations site:www.<productSite>.com
5. "Your Credit Card Will Show A Charge From"  site:www.<productSite>.com

The result page will have the download link for the product and then it can be downloaded for free. The above is possible only if the product site hasn't been configured properly to not include the page having the download link in search results (This can be done by telling search engines not to crawl them by configuring the robots.txt file). So if you happen to be on the other side, just take care of these things when you put your product up in clickbank.

Earn more money from Google Adsense

While this could be an endless list, following are some good approaches which can get you good rewards:

1. Contribute some articles to revenue sharing sites like infobarrel, xomba, hubpages and generate back links to your blog/website while earning revenue from your articles at the same time.
2. Track where your traffic is coming from and optimize upon what seems to be generating more traffic and revenue for you. Check How to track Google Adsense clicks and earn more revenue
3. Use statcounter/google analytics to track your website traffic. Also set up custom channels and url channels in your AdSense account for more insights.
4. Experiment with the ad placement and track using custom channels.
5. Try including ads "in between" the content of the article.
6. Blend your ad with the website content, background etc.
7. Use social networking sites like Facebook, Orkut, Twitter, Google Buzz etc. You can spread the message in groups of interested people like if your article is related to "Cooking recipe", share it with Facebook and Orkut group of people interested in "Cooking" and use similar hashtags in twitter(#cooking).
8. Use social bookmarking sites like digg, stumbleupon and SheToldMe
9. Try using "AdSense for feeds" to make some money from your RSS feeds.
10. You might try YouSayToo to get some more traffic apart from the normal traffic you already get. Consider some points about YouSayToo Revenue Sharing to see if it suits you.
11. Integrating with Amazon associates program and affiliate links programs like Clickbank etc. might append some more revenues.
12. Most importantly, make sure your site is a niche site based on a particular content and not on various distantly related topics/categories. The recent changes in the form of Google Panda algorithm will hurt content farm sites.

Finally, content is the KING, so without some good content from you, it would be tough for you to make something substantial.
