How ClickBank works

ClickBank hoplinks have the shape nickname.hop.clickbank.net, where the first label is the affiliate's ClickBank nickname. The marketplace is dominated by digital products — courses, ebooks, supplements — sold at high commission rates.

  • The subdomain is the affiliate nickname, which makes ClickBank one of the few networks where the publisher is visible in the URL.
  • tid is the affiliate's tracking id for splitting traffic sources.
  • High-commission digital offers attract aggressive marketing, so the landing page deserves as much scrutiny as the link.

The domains ClickBank uses

Any of these in an address bar means the same thing. Subdomains count too: the part in front is usually an account number.
