Much is said about the potentially powerful moneymaking combination of Google Adwords and Clickbank. Unfortunately most of it is hype.
In my experience, it is difficult to make a fortune this way even when applying the correct techniques and sufficient effort.
It can make you a few hundred dollars each month, however, and it is a good training ground for any affiliate who wants to learn about the processes involved in affiliate marketing; so I do encourage people to get involved.
The principle is straight forward. You select a Clickbank product to sell with a 'gravity' score between 75 and 150. You advertise it with Google Adwords for less than you make via commissions from completed sales and potentially you make a tidy profit.
The trouble is, to identify good campaigns takes time and effort. Exactly how to achieve the best results from this is the subject of many over-priced ebooks.
A better approach is to learn about affiliate marketing in general not just Google Adwords and Clickbank.
While you can and should find out how to combine Google Adwords and Clickbank for profit using a good guide such as the Successful Affiliates Guide, you also need a full grounding in all that is needed to succeed as an affiliate (available from the Successful Affiliates Guide). Google Adwords and Clickbank is just a small part of that.
Most affiliate networks require you to own your own website before you can do business with them. Your own website is a powerful marketing tool and opens up much more opportunities for affiliate marketing than simply non-website based pay per click (ppc) campaigns.
