| Notes: |
1 Shopping Cart is an integrated solution that gets rave reviews for its features such as ad tracking, auto-responders, newsletter management, affiliate program and membership rebilling. |
The most frequent complaints about ClickBank are the expense of setting up multiple accounts for multiple products, and affiliates stealing commission from one another by modifying links. ClickBank Toolkit is a product that solves both of these problems, and a few others. |
If you are concerned about displaying the data contained in your PayPal sales links (such as your thank you download page), you can also use the Affiliate Link Cloaker from Web Army Knife. |
The free PayLoadz account does not provide any cloaking of your download link --- leaving you open to unscrupulous downloaders. |
