Click Bank Steals Money from “The Little Guy”

December 18th, 2006

If you are considering doing any affiliate selling through Click Bank, do not bother.

Click Bank was one of the first affiliates I has signed up. I finally made my first affiliate sale two months ago, not a huge amount but big enough for the “little guy”. I waited patiently for the check to arrive. I waited one month after the billing cycle date and still no check. I checked over my snail mailing information, to make sure it was correct, I then emailed Click Bank asking them to reissue the check because it must have gotten misrouted. A day later I received an email saying could not collect my commission because, according to their terms of service, you must receive five sales from five different credit cards before a check is cut.

Now I don’t know about the rest of you but, I am probably in the boat where I will only see a few affiliate sales per year. At this rate, I will see a check every few years.

I am currently replacing any ad space on my sites that contains Click Bank ads and put up something that will actually pay. I hope to be a “Big Guy” someday but for now, I am still a “Little Guy” and in my opinion, this person will not be doing any more business through Click Bank.
