Before I fully divulge how, I want to just say that one of the biggest issues I've heard internet marketers complain about with ClickBank is that they limit you to a 1-tier affiliate program. Why do they limit you? Well, I don't know for sure, but there's many possible reasons, the number one reason would probably be because it's easier for them. Less hassle, less work, and they already have a huge affiliate base.



2-tier affiliate programs are primarily a way to grow yourself a huge affiliate base by adding the viral incentive to refer other affiliates to the program. Since ClickBank has been in the affiliate business for a long time and has a good reputation, it's now hard to come by an affiliate marketer who hasn't heard of them, so they probably don't feel they need a second tier.

Anyways, lets get onto this new revolutionary service that allows you to earn ClickBank commissions virally and even gives more leverage than a 2-tier affiliate program. It uses a method known as Contextual Advertising, and it's so simple to use for monetizing your site, that it puts google ads to shame!

Top Adsense marketers like Joel Comm have preached about the power of simple text ads used throughout your website copy. These types of ads are just simple links that your eyes follow over naturally as you read the content of the page. Because it's right there in the body of the content, it has the readers attention, and thus their curiosity kicks in, and they click it. In the case of Adsense text ads, a click will merely get you on average a few cents. Not too great, but a lot of clicks WILL ad up.

I'm not here to tell you about google Adsense though, I'm talking about ClickBank. So here's why this new Contextual Ad service puts google Adsense to shame. You can sign-up to this service for free, and then all you have to do is simply paste some code onto your pages. What happens next is that a javascript program scans your page for all the words that are contextually connected to different target products. It then converts those words into textlinks that link to ClickBank products. GENIUS!

Okay now, listen closely, here's where the viral marketing aspect comes into play. As someone is surfing your page they might click on one of these unsuspecting links and be directed to a ClickBank product, and if they buy, you get the affiliate commission. Now if you refer others to this service, they will add it to their websites and when someone clicks on a link, their affiliate ID gets tracked to the product, but when the next person clicks on a link, YOUR affiliate ID gets tracked. Now if that person refers someone to the service who uses the code, then YOUR ID gets tracked to the 3rd click. Get the idea?

This is a 5 level system, which means you could get paid exponentially by referring more people who refer more people, and then you're getting commissions from websites all over the internet in various niche markets.

The one disadvantage is that on your own website, you still only get YOUR affiliate ID tracked to every 5th click (Because the other 4 clicks go to your upline).

The key advantage here is in subaffiliate leverage. Multiplication is the factor of success with this viral marketing affiliate ad service. As you tell people, who each tell people, who each tell people, who each tell people, then it ends up being a lot of people in your downline really quickly.

This service only just launched on Tuesday September 19th, 2006. Not too many people know about it yet, but I'll bet the word is going to spread fast, and if you're the one spreading it, you'll be in a good position to profit exponentially.
