If you are flipping sites, remember that automation is your friend. Keep in mind that most people that are looking to enter the blogosphere will be starting out on a part-time basis. They will still need to keep their day job until they are able to earn steady income from blogging. Therefore due to their job the time that they have to dedicate to a new blog will be limited, well because of their job and countless hours spent watching reality TV.

On a more serious note, when they are shopping for a ready to go blog, if you can offer them some automated features that will save some time on their part, you will score bonus points with them and increase the odds that they want what you have to offer.

One of the simplest ways to do this is with auto affiliate products. Clickbank offers a great tool called HopAd Builder. By using this feature, you can specify a single keyword, such as credit, how many products you want it to display and even custom match the links to your site. It will then generate some HTML code for you to paste into the site (using a WordPress text Widget is ideal for this). The result will be links to Clickbank products that are related to the topic of the site, that change every time that the page is refreshed, the result is affiliate products that automatically change without any effort on the owners part.

Here’s The Steps On How To Do This:

• Sign into Clickbank. If you don’t have a Clickbank account it’s free and it only takes a minute to set up a Clickbank account.
• On this page you will see a section for the HopAd Builder. Click “Learn More” After this it may have you put in your password again.
• Here you will see 2 options:
  The Text Ads Builder and the Tabbed Ad Box Builder (I personally prefer the Text Ad Builder, because it gives a short description of the product, but it’s really just a matter of preference.)

• The next step is to specify keyword(s).  You should also see your affiliate ID (Clickbank automatically fills this in for you), the rest you can just leave as is. Here is a screenshot.

• The next step is customize the appearance of the products. This is where you can specify how many products you want displaying, how you want them to display, as well as the default color scheme. Below you will see a screen shot to illustrate.

Some pointers:

I usually display 3 products (1 column with 3 rows). I adjust the the width to fit according to the dimensions for where I’ll be placing the products.  This is important so that the products fit nicely and that there aren’t too many products, this will help keep the site looking neat when flipping sites.

Example: The default width setting are 250, but say the sidebar for the theme that I’m using is only 200, I change the width in Clickbank to 190 so that the products will fit.

I also change Clickbank products color scheme to blend in on the website.  I recommend this, because when the products blend in with the site, it increases the odds of them being clicked, because they look like they are just part of the site’s regular content.

• You’re in the home stretch! Once you have selected your settings, Clickbank will now generate code for you to paste to the site. As mentioned before I use a text widget in WordPress and simply paste this code into it and save.

Sample Code:

Here is an example of what the finished product should look like.  Remember each time the page is refreshed the site will display new products.

Now you’re good to go flipping sites that offers auto affiliate products.
