How would you like to be informed by ClickBank every time you get another affiliate sale?

Despite the fact that ClickBank offers this service to its affiliates, only a small number of ClickBank affiliates understand that instant notification is available for them. That being the case, few use the service. In what follows I am going to try to help change the current state of affairs by teaching you more about ClickBank's instant notification service, and showing you how you can use it within just minutes of finishing this article.

ClickBank first offered its instant notification service at the start of 2008. However, the affiliate network did not make it easy for their non technical affiliates to use the service, and the arrival of the instant notification protocol went mostly unnoticed.

Here is how the service works. Supposing that you switch on instant notifications from inside your ClickBank affiliate account, ClickBank will endeavor to post to any web application (which you specify) that can receive it, a record of every transaction that goes into your account during the course of the day.

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

To its credit, ClickBank has offered some code which explains how to accept the data that it transmits to you. It also explains how to establish that the data you received has not been tampered with on route.

But most affiliates would have simply preferred to have been given a web application that does the job for them without them having to invest time trying to create something of their own.

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

There are advantages to doing this, both for you, and for ClickBank. Many affiliates tend to log into their ClickBank account several times every day to find out whether they have made any new sales. But this is no longer needed if you are being informed, in real time, about new sales that are coming in. It is also a boon to 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 notifications. Affiliates are entitled to the service too. It is just a matter of knowing how to set it up, which can be done by visiting this ClickBank instant sales alerts page to download CB Alert.
