One way to find the most popular products on Clickbank is to look for Clickbank trending products. You can use a website called CBEngine.com to do this. Just look down the left hand side of the website and click on CB Top Gravity. “Gravity” on Clickbank denotes the popularity of certain products. A high gravity indicates that there’s a lot of affiliates already successfully promoting a particular product.
A high gravity would be above 80 whereas a low gravity will be typically less than 20. While a high gravity can mean a product is good, it also means there’s a lot of competition from other affiliates for that particular product. So depending on your promotion method, you could come up against more competition in your promotion methods with the most popular products. You can see in the image above, the products in the category CB Top Gravity are listed according to gravity with the highest gravity score at the top.
Clickbank Trending Products
Another way to find Clickbank trending products is to head to Clickbank.com and login. Then head over the the marketplace where you should see links to the best performing products.
You can also do a search in the marketplace and sort the results by a number of different criteria to find the best performing products:
- Rank – the overall Clickbank rank of the vendor
- Average conversion ($) – average conversion value of the sale
- Initial conversion ($) – the first sale of a product, not counting rebilling etc.
- Recurring (Rebill) – applies to recurring income products which pay recurring commissions
- Gravity – The number of different affiliates who earn from the sale over 12 week period; newer sales also denote a higher value.
Clickbank & Gravity
Gravity is the best indication of whether a particular product is “hot” on Clickbank. This number represents a unique calculation by ClickBank. It takes into account the number of different affiliates who earned a commission by promoting this product over the previous twelve weeks. Since more recent sales are given a higher value, this number can give you an idea of what products are “hot” at the moment, in terms of being promoted by many affiliates and making a good number of sales.
However, high gravity can also indicate that there will be a lot of competition in promoting this product; so it’s worth doing your homework before choosing a particular product just because of it’s gravity. Depending on how you’re going to approach your marketing, you should tread carefully. For example if you’re creating content for a high gravity product, look at other product reviews and content similar to what you will be doing before choosing to promote it. You may find the market is saturated or very competitive in a particular area.
Clickbank Trending Products & Recurring Income
It’s also worth checking out CBEngine and looking at the CB Recurring tab for those products which offer recurring commissions. You can also do this directly on Clickbank.com too. Just use the Recurring $/Rebill drop down menu in the marketplace while using the search function.
Subscription affiliate programs are great for affiliates because they give you recurring income from previous sales. With a good product and the right customer, you can maintain your income for years from each individual sale.
