David Fiske A subtle blend of affiliate marketing and web development

I have mentioned ClickBank in passing a few times and said how a lot of affiliates start there, then progress to UK based networks.

I had an email today offering me the chance to buy some AdSense rivalling software called ClickBank AdBox for a whole $7. That's about £3.50!

I've got a couple of sites where that would come in quite handy so I stumped up £3.67 (today's exchange rate through PayPal) and I now hold a copy of CB Ads in my hand (well, on my hard drive!).

So what is it and what's it like?
 
In a nutshell, CB Ads creates AdSense style adverts using ClickBank products as a basis.

You create the ads then specify the keywords that the ads should show.

I did want to provide a demo but it turns out you need cURL activated on your server and mine doesn't have this facility. Apparently most do so I am a minority. (UPDATE: The sales page has been updated to reflect this. There were no minimum requirements listed until I had purchased this software. Power to the people!)

That means I cannot use it.

But I certainly think there's promise for those with cURL that ClickBank AdBox could generate more income than AdSense could especially if your website is targeted at a niche that ClickBank adequately caters for.

If anyone has got an active demo for this software, please post your URL below as I would like to know your thoughts and feelings on it. Is it worth me changing my web host so I can use this software or are there alternatives out there?
