CB Trends The popularity, price and commission paid of the product is very important. When it comes to popularity or gravity, unless you are already a Super Affiliate avoid the products with very high gravity (125+), because it means that the market will be highly competitive and the chances of you making sales will be decreased accordingly. This applies only to Clickbank and not the other commission driven organizations. In order to find out if a product is good to add to your affiliate arsenal, you will want to check it out at CB Trends (www.cbtrends.com) which is a free service that shows visual representation of what is on the ClickBank marketplace site making it easier to understand. There are some useful tracking tools that give you an easy way to see what is happening with the products you choose including:  Popularity of the product  Earning per sale  Percent per sale  Gravity  Referrals  Commission If you take the visual representation, combine it with what you see on ClickBank’s Marketplace, you will have a good idea of whether the product you’re thinking about promoting is a good one.
