The Top 6 Click2Sell.EU Advantages That Outperform Clickbank

By Henry Zeng

Few days ago I have come across a new online marketing network called Click2Sell.EU.

While chatting with Click2Sell's general manager and part owner Egidijus Andreika, I learned that Click2Sell.EU is an all-in-one network for vendors to sell products on the Internet, run affiliate programs and recruit affiliates.

It's also an affiliate network for affiliates to select and promote products from the Click2Sell Marketplace and earn affiliate commissions.

And I list 6 good reasons why both online merchants and affiliate marketers should also consider joining the Click2Sell.EU network.

1) Click2Sell.EU Allows Both Digital And Physical Products.

While ClickBank lists only digital products, Click2Sell allows merchants to sell digital products, physical products and subscription-based products such as membership sites.

You can view the details of each product in the marketplace, such as conversion rate, refund rate, affiliate sales percent, popularity and ranking history and many other information.

2) Advanced Affiliate Referral Tracking Protect System

Your affiliate commissions won't be stolen, because the unique visitor tracking system protects you from unsavory merchants and other unethical affiliates.

For example, if you refer a first-time visitor to the merchant's site, you will be always credited to the sales, no matter how others are also promoting the same merchant to the same visitor.

3) Advanced Tracking System For Sales Achievement

In my opinion, this is the one of the best parts of Click2Sell. The real-time reporting area of the control panel is very detailed. In fact, it is so powerful and specific-to-detail that it is split into 7 sub-pages:

General, Daily Report, Conversion Report, Referral Report, Refunds, Transactions, and Keywords.By analyzing the statistics you will be able to find out:

a) How many visitors and views (not to mention sales) your sales pages get.

b) What exact key phrases are used in search engines by your sales pages traffic.

c) What web sites are bringing the most targeted visitors. For example, 1000 visitors that were referred from website A bought your product 5 times while 1000 visitors from site B bought the same product 30 times. So you will know that advertising on web site B is much more beneficial.

d) Absolutely the same is with advertising and pay-per-click campaigns. By conversion statistics you will know which advertisement or PPC keyword is more profitable than others.

e) The number of affiliates that promote your products

f) How your referred users are doing and how much commission you get from them. You can create different tracking channels to test various advertising options somewhere else. You will not need to install complicated tracking scripts any more in order to track sales conversions.

4) 5 Payments Options Available For Vendors To Accept Direct Payments To Their Merchant Accounts Directly.

Since Click2Sell deals with 3rd-party payment processors, payment is sent to merchants' or business account directly. There is no more waiting for weeks or months as you would with other sites. Click2Sell coordinates sales via five 3rd-party payment processors including PayPal, Moneybookers, WorldPay, Authorize.net, and Google Checkout for vendors to run their affiliate program.

The "Mass Payment" feature for vendors with a few clicks to pay all affiliates at once. This feature is developed in much more convenient way than in some other systems where you need to generate txt files of affiliate payments, then upload it to PayPal and only then you could pay them. In Click2Sell, everything is done in the member area.

5) No Setup Cost to Sell Unlimited Products

It won't cost you anything to setup your account and sell unlimited products at Click2Sell.

And ClickBank charges an initial fee of $49.95 to the merchant to sell products. They only allows you to sell 500 products per account and additional accounts cost $29.95 each.

6) Custom Commission Rates And Flat Fees

The commission rates are very flexible that merchants can pay up to 95% commission to affiliates on Click2Sell. However, Clickbank affiliates can only earn up to 75% commission.

And the flat fee is one of the major benefits to sell your products with Click2Sell: there is no commissions' percentage taken.

Click2Sell has simple fee rate, charging $1, $2, or $3 depending on the scale of transaction. Only merchants are charged this fee; affiliates never have to pay a cent since they are paid by the merchant.

As for ClickBank, they charge 1 USD + 7.5% for each transaction. So if you are selling a $200 product you will be charged $16 for each sale.

While the Click2Sell.EU marketplace still is very small at the time of writing this, it may have a good chance to compete with Clickbank in the future. So I guess you still need to keep on eye on it.
