when i choose to advertise something on clickbank, i dont see what the purpose of the second link is. can i just use the first link that goes to the product page?

I suggest you to try project payday, simply because you don't need any money up front and you can start making money within minutes. I average around 3,500 dollars every month with it. Check it out at http://urlcut.com/1qaud

The reason you would use the hoplink is to get credit for the sale. If you just link directly to the product page, all you would be doing is sending traffic to their site--you would not get a commission. The hoplink is what tracks the sale back to you and gets you your commission.

Or....are you talking about the two different links you get when you type your clickbank ID in to get your hoplink?? If that is the case, the first one is your regular hoplink to send people through to the product page.

The second link they give you is a text link for your website. When you put that link into your website, the words Click Here would have your hoplink embedded, so when someone clicks on click here they would be taken to the product page through your hoplink so you will get the commission.

Hope that answers your question!

Good luck! I love affiliate marketing--it's fun!
