Make Money Online with Super Affiliate Rosalind Gardner
Author of the best-selling affiliate marketing training book shares free money-making affiliate tips.
Alongside their Hopshield Link introduction, Clickbank announced (and showed off) their brand spanking new look.
I must say that it actually LOOKS like a network interface from the outside now with “Affiliates” and “Vendors” displayed prominently on the homepage with links to step-by-step explanations (along with pretty graphic images) about how the Clickbank system works.
Now if we could just get their hoplink system to prevent affiliate link swapping – Clickbank would be perfect.

I am liking the new CB layout as well but I must say that the colors are just awful. I can’t stand the red, yellow and lime green. They should have kept the blue gray thing going with this new layout.
Hi Ryan,
I too think that the colors are a little cartoonish, but based on the graphics they’re using – I guess that works. But you’re absolutely right – they could have stuck with the blue on blue/blue-gray scheme and ultimately had a more professional look.
Oh well, to each their own, I suppose.
Cheers,
Ros
When I saw clickbanks new design I would have to say I liked it a lot, it was really time for a change and they delivered well I have no problems with it!
The old was looking very tired. I love the new look. Made me think, if the Clickbank people were able to go for so long thinking the site was fine (suffering from “frog in the kettle” syndrome), it’s a good reminder to me to check over my sites on a regular basis – and even get some other unbiased eyes to look at them as well and provide honest feedback – to see if they could use a “fresh coat of paint”.

It’s about time! I can’t believe how slow Clickbank is to make changes. I wish they would upgrade their search system, but I guess there are others sites to use like CBengine and such.

Rosalind, I have agree with you and say that I’m really digging the new look (although at first I wasn’t sure about it). It prompted me to go back and look at all the old Clickbank designs through the years, and I made a post showing them all for those who are interested: http://bloggingexperiment.com/archives/clickbanks-new-look.php
Blue, red, gray, etc. mean nothing to me. What I’m interested in
is a better hoplink system
It is a nice change for Clickbank. For a while they looked like they got left behind in the Internet Age. The design looks modern and up with the new designs. I wish they can improve on the API section. Something like what Amazon offers. Maybe they can provide widgets with picture content etc. But great new look.
I felt sick when I first saw the colors but after logging in daily to check my stats the colors have actually grown on me.
Like others have said I wish they would sort out their search facility. As a vendor I often wonder how many affiliates miss promoting my products because CB’s search sucks!
I’m sure they’ll get there one day…
Cheers

I like the looks of the new Interface. I feel them comfortable.
About the hoplink system you (Rosalind) said:
“Now if we could just get their hoplink system to prevent affiliate link swapping – Clickbank would be perfect.”
Well, I am not sure, but I found that when you create a new link, it creates an encrypted link that prevents the swapping thing. Am I right? Got to check it out to be sure though.
Hi Paul,
If you read my post about Clickbank’s Hoplink Shield you’ll see why the encryption is of little use.
Cheers,
Ros
I see your point now Rosalind. There is no logic in coding something so easy to decode. I’ll keep my redirects I guess.
Have a great online session!
ClickBank New look is very professional as per view of dynamic statement, but at the view point of Designing it’s not look professional, I m not saying desinging not perfect but the color comnbination is not Good, Need some color’s which are awful like gray, blue, white, navy blue, green in dark manner, this are color’s which perfect professional style to Click Bank New Look.
not at all agree with affiliateguru.. it is near to perfect, the design look and feel, color combination.. i would give 9 out of 10.. good luck guys..
Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve found that the new design of Clickbank made it a lot heavier to load. I’m on 256 kbps, a mid-high connection in my country :/
As for the look… I’ll give it 8.5/10.
I am new at Clickbank I want to start out advertising on a Blog and the product will be in the wording but the hop link does not look professional because of the encryption and I am afraid the reader might not click onto it is there anything I can do to change this ?
Thanks Dale
