CBRocket 2.10 Released
CBRocket is our PHP script that allows webmasters to allow their visitors to search ClickBank without leaving their site. And set up targeted text ads. A new release, version 2.10, fixes the limitation that had recently appeared, and which I wrote about in a recent blog post. As well as fixing this limitation, we’ve taken the opportunity to add a neat new filter feature, which is explained below. If you want to upgrade to the new version, we’ll provide it free to existing customers - so please contact us including the receipt number of your original purchase.
CBRocket: Filtering the ClickBank marketplace
CBRocket also now includes a feature that allows you to filter out product listings from ClickBank’s results, based on keywords that you specify.
Why would you want to do that?
Although ClickBank contains many excellent products, there may be some products that you feel are inappropriate for your site.
For example:
- There might be some products that you consider unsuitable for your audience. For example, in site that is principally aimed at families,
you might not wish to list products relating to nude photography, or improving your casino and gambling skills. - Many affiliate programs and advertising programs have restrictions on what type of content may appear on the same site as their ads. For
example, you may not be allowed to put gambling ads on your web site. For this reason, you wouldn’t want CBRocket to display ClickBank products
related to gambling, betting, casinos, poker, roulette, etc.
So how does this feature work?
First you set up a list of keywords describing products that you wish to filter out. And, from then on, whenever you retrieve the last ClickBank
data (by clicking a link in the admin screen of CBRocket), any products which contain any of these keywords will be automatically removed from your copy of the ClickBank marketplace.
Example: if you set this parameter to "casino,roulette,poker,horse racing,bet,bets,betting,gambling" it would filter out any ClickBank products which contained any of these gambling terms in their title or description.
If you ever want to narrow or widen the criteria, you can simply change the list of keywords, and click the retrieval link (in the CBRocket admin
screen) to update your copy of the ClickBank marketplace. It really is that easy.
