ClickBank Insights Overview
An example of a dashboard with the ClickBank Insights panel.
ClickBank Insights is a tool that provides ClickBank users with a customized list of ClickBank vendors who have had success either selling products that are similar to yours or similar to products your customers are most likely to purchase. The ClickBank Insights panel is automatically displayed on the dashboard of the sales account management page for each individual sales account. However, it will not be displayed until ten days after the account activation fee is paid.
Additionally, if your account has not processed enough sales to provide sufficient data to generate recommendations, the ClickBank Insights panel will not be displayed. Instead, the ClickBank Insights panel will be occupied by the affiliate finder tool. For more information on how to use the affiliate finder tool, CLICK HERE. Once you reach the sales threshold, you will see either the By Vendor Activity display, the By Affiliate Activity display, or both.
If you are a ClickBank user who only operates solely as a vendor, you will only see a diagram of vendors who are successful at selling products similar to yours.
If you are a ClickBank user who is an affiliate and a vendor, you will see two diagrams: one that displays recommended vendors who are successful are selling products that are similar to yours and one that displays vendors who are selling products that your customers are mostly likely to buy.
If you are a ClickBank user who only operates as an affiliate, you will only see a diagram that displays recommended vendors who sell products that your current customers are most likely to buy.
ClickBank Insights Display
Data for the ClickBank Insights display is calculated on a weekly basis to include your most recent sales information and keep your recommendations relevant. The period of data that is included in the ClickBank Insights display will be provided below the vendor information.
Depending on if you are both a vendor and an affiliate you will see one or two displays. Each display features the account nickname of the current account you are working in and then several balloon images branching out from the center. Based on how many sales you’ve made and how much data is available, each or some of the balloons will have an account nickname of a vendor in them. When you hoover over the balloon, the opportunity value (OV) Is made visible.
The OV is a unique value that is calculated based on shared customers, conversion rate, and average commission per sale. A higher opportunity value ideally represents a more lucrative opportunity. The vendors that are selected are displayed in bubbles that are scaled in size according to their OV. The OV of the vendors that are displayed in the ClickBank Insights is calculated on an account-by-account basis.
There is no maximum OV score and OV scores vary from account to account. If you have more than one linked account, you may see other accounts that you own as recommendations for you. If you wish to hide these accounts and see accounts that are more relevant to you, click the Hide This Account button once you click on the account nickname of the vendor displayed.
Regardless of their calculated OV, there are several types of vendors that will not be included in the ClickBank Insights display. These are:
- Accounts with a quality management rating of unacceptable
- Accounts that are not listed in the ClickBank marketplace
- Accounts that have opted out of being included in ClickBank Insights
