How to See If You're Getting Credit for the Sale

One question I get asked a whole lot is I'm not sure if I'm getting credit for the traffic I'm sending, how do I know?.

In this post I'm going to tell you exactly how to know if you're getting credit for the sales made. I'm going to do this by checking my affiliate link for Google Money Pro, but you can apply this technique to any website on ClickBank. So here's what to do.

Step 1 Go to the website through your Affiliate URL (in this example I'm going to http://stevenhold.googlemp.hop.clickbank.net)

Step 2 Go to the order form. To do this, you're going to need to click on the 'Buy,Download, Order, or whatever button or link the website has to purchase their product. Don't worry, you're not actually going to be buying the product.

Step 3 Once you're at the order form, scroll to the bottom of the page and look for something that says [affiliate = ]. If it has your ClickBank nickname in it, you're getting credit for the sale. If it doesn't have your ClickBank nickname in it, it means this website's doing something fishy and you should probably not promote it. Here's what it looks like for me on Google Money Pro's order form.
