How would you like to be contacted by ClickBank each time you make an affiliate sale?

Even though ClickBank offers this service to its affiliates, very few ClickBank affiliates understand that instant notification is available to them. Because of this, few use the service. In what follows I will try to help change the current state of affairs by teaching you more about ClickBank's instant notification service, and letting you know how you can use it within just minutes of finishing this article.

ClickBank introduced its instant notification platform at the start of 2008. However, the affiliate network did not make it easy for their non technical audience to utilize the service, and the news of the instant notification protocol went largely unnoticed.

Here is how it works. Given that you enable instant notifications from inside your ClickBank affiliate account, ClickBank will endeavor to send to any web application (which you specify) that can receive it, a record of each transaction that goes into your account over the course of the day.

Herein lies the real problem. You need to have a web application installed on a site that you own, which can receive the information from ClickBank (in the form of a POST request). Your program is then expected to turn around and email you the same information.

To its credit, ClickBank has provided some code which explains how to accept the information that it transmits to you. It also explains how to verify that the data you received has not been tampered with during transit.

But most affiliates would have liked to have been provided with a web program that will do the job for them without them having to invest time trying to write something of their own.

Fortunately, these days it is possible to bypass all of this technical nonsense and get ClickBank affiliate sales notifications simply by grabbing a FREE web application that logs your ClickBank sales transactions and sends you alerts. All you need to do is configure the software and visit ClickBank to switch on your instant notifications.

There are advantages to doing this, both for you, and for ClickBank. Most affiliates tend to log into their ClickBank account several times every day to see whether they have managed any new sales. But this is no longer required if you are being told, in real time, about new sales that are being made. It is also advantageous for ClickBank, because by offloading you from their servers - which are somewhat overburdened - the login experience for other affiliates gets better.

So, the moral of the story is that you do not have to be a ClickBank merchant to get special treatment in the form of sales alerts. Affiliates are entitled to the service too. It is simply a matter of learning how to set it up, which can be done by going to this ClickBank instant sales alerts page to download CB Alert.
