How To Make Money Online with ClickBank HopAd Builder
On the Internet you can find many amazing tools that will help you with making money online. ClickBank HopAd Builder is one of those amazing tools. Learn how to make money online using ClickBank HopAd Builder
ClickBank excites me. It really does! The potential to make money online is very high when you promote ClickBank products. Granted, I do my own thing and do it well; however, I were to really devote myself to selling ClickBank products, I am very confident that it would work out very nicely for me.
With that said, I found a program on ClickBank that I think will interest you very much. It’s called HopAd Builder (login required). The program is very useful because it gives you a unique way to promote ClickBank products. Best of all, it’s free to use. Here is how it works.
HopAd Builder allows you to build customizable ads for your blog. To begin with, you can choose between building Text Ads or Tabbed Ads. The text ads look very similar to Google AdSense. These might or might not work very well for you. However, with the Tabbed Ads, these look much more promising because you can easily incorporate them to look like they are part of your main navigation.
Text Ads and Tabbed Ads are very easy to build. With Text Ads, simply enter in your keywords, your ClickBank ID, optional tracking ID, and decide on displaying the maximum number of ads.
Text Ads look similar to Google AdSense ads. You can easily display them in your blog sidebar, or float them in your blog content.
You can also create custom size ads. This means that you can build ads that fit your blog perfectly. You can also change colors, font sizes, and choose the text alignment.
I like Tabbed Ads better because I think there is less “Ad Blindness” with them. Many people often over look AdSense style ads and I feel like the same will happen with HopAds Text Ads. Because of that, I think Tabbed Ads is a better option.
Setting up a Tabbed Ad on your blog is simple. All you need to do is enter in three tab titles, enter the keywords for each tab, and enter your ClickBank ID. You can also add an optional Tracking ID if you want.
Tabbed Ads look very nice as shown in the screen shot below:
Just like Text Ads, you can customize the Tabbed Ad size, fonts and colors.
I think ClickBank did a great job with HopAd Builder. It is a free program that allows you a very unique and creative way to promote ClickBank products. Give it a try and then share your thoughts in a comment. Let us know what you think of HopAd Builder.

This is totally awesome. If someone just studied your blog and all the information you post here they could get a totally free complete education on how to make money from the internet.
I have thanked you so many times for info you have posted and here I go again.
Thank you!!
One can get a totally complete marketing education just from following your blog.
Awesome information.
Just following your site will give someone a total education on internet marketing and how to make money online.
Thanks for the post. Great info.
Kenny, there may even be some info on how not to leave spam comments. Garry, I’ll be curious to see if any of your readers have experience and/or success with the HopAds.
Sorry about the multiple posts on this post and possibly on others.
when I made the first comment and clicked on add comment it did not show that the comment registered on the blog. So I added the comment until I saw it registered on the blog.
I apologize as it is not my intent to spam this or any other site. I do use this site for its educational resources as well as a way to establish links.
Again I apologize for this mistake and I did not put a post in this comment.
Very informative article, I had no idea that this option was available.
Thank you,
Hans Kristian Anderson
Garry, could you give a short tutorial on how to place these clickbank ads in our WP posts? Do we use the same method as you do with adsense and then substitute the clickbank html code?
Do you know a fix or workaround to make the ads we create with HopAd Builder show in Internet Explorer 8? Even more important, why is it that some pages on which we have put HopAds just don’t show the ads in IE8, while other pages disappear entirely and show NOTHING BUT the HopAd, all alone on an otherwise blank page?
The latter is completely unacceptable; the former is merely annoying (and, of course, potentially money-losing). Has anyone solved this problem? The HopAds work perfectly in FireFox, but we certainly can’t expect all our visitors to use that browser.
Thanks!
Hi Jean,
I contacted ClickBank and asked them to address this issues and offer an update here on this thread. Not sure if they will do that for us, but it’s worth a shot. Perhaps offering the free and extensive review about HopAd Builder here on GarryConn.com will motivate ClickBank to provide a solution to your problem.
Thank you, Garry. That will make at least two reports of the problem to their customer service–though I can’t believe most of their affiliates are not having the same problem. They ought to be deluged!
If the ads were just invisible, we could leave them up for people using other browsers, but when they make our entire page invisible in IE, leaving nothing but the ad box on a white page, we have no choice but to take them down until we receive instructions for a fix.
BTW, I have figured out the difference between the two problems: when the ad is placed inside a table, you get the blank page with nothing but the ad. If the ad is NOT inside a table, I have found it on the page–down at the very, very bottom, the last thing on the page, no matter where I placed the code.
Again, these problems are in IE only–the ads work exactly as they are supposed to in FireFox.
Thank you, Garry. You are providing an important service.
Jean,
What are the pages (URLs) that don’t appear correctly in IE?
We removed the ads from the two pages that would not display anything BUT the ad (one was the top page of our domain, http://www.simegen.com , and the other was my own top page, http://www.jeanlorrah.com ). Obviously we could not have our top pages not working for all visitors using IE.
BUT you can see the problem at http://www.simegen.com/jeanplay/index.clk , an unlinked page. Compare what you see in IE with the source code, and–
WHOA!!! What is a TABLE in FireFox has been turned into a FRAME in IE! I just viewed source code in IE and went, “I didn’t write THAT garbage!” Then I viewed it in FireFox, and there was my familiar code, with my table and no frame.
So–apparently the problem occurs when the ads are put inside frames, whether the page designer had frames (as in http://www.simegen.com) or a table that IE turns into a frame (as in my page).
But there is still a problem on pages with neither tables nor frames. I left the ads on this page: http://www.simegen.com/jean/bloodis.html , where they show properly in FireFox, but in IE 6, 7, and 8 shift down to the very bottom of the page where no one will see them, as the page goes from most recent to oldest news. The source code of that page displays properly in both FireFox and IE, so there is no clue to the reason for the IE problem.
Hope that helps!
I got an answer! For all of you using HopAds and expecting a good percentage of your visitors to use Internet Explorer as their browser, here is the response I received from ClickBank:
Hello Jean,
We are aware of the problem and are working on a solution. In the meantime, if you delete the defer=”defer” statements from your code, it will function properly.
Best Regards,

I’ve tested it out, and it works. Note that the defer=”defer” statements appear TWICE in the code for each box, at the top and the bottom.
Garry, thank you for your help. I hope this information is helpful to many of your followers.

Thanks for posting the update. I am glad that they contacted you. I never heard back from them with a solution, or a thank you for writing the post.
Here is the email they sent me:
“Hello Garry,
Thank you for your inquiry. I have visited your site and it appears another representative has already responded to Jean. Just to confirm, we are aware of the situation and our technical team is in the process of creating a fix for the issue. In the meantime, if they delete the defer=”defer” statements from their code, it will function properly.
Please advise if there is anything else I can assist you with.
Thank you,

That is a very useful tool. I’m looking to get into affiliate marketing with Clickbank and I think this might be a good tool to start with.
Hehe… no biggie…
Sometimes comments go into moderation, and unfortunately I use an old (very old) threaded comments script that doesn’t alert commenters when comments are placed into moderations. It basically leads people to believe that their comment might not have gone through correctly.
The great part for me is when I see this in my admin menu and I can see how well people remembered what they typed, because I usually have two comments held.
