You could put up fake hoplinks to trick people into believing that you are the publisher. Then have them sign up as your affiliates and send you traffic. They will never get commissions. 3) etc. You could put up a link that looks like a Clickbank hoplink, and will take the visitor to a page that looks like a clickbank checkout page.

Clickbank hoplink isn't flawed, your statement is flawed. To know whether you will be paid or at least get a commission from the website, all you need to do is go to the product payment page and scroll all the way down.. if you see your clickbank ID at the [AFFILIATE = yourID], you are safe and so is the link. No, Tatumba. Clickbank hoplink isn’t flawed, your statement is flawed.

You can use a fake hoplink to drive a customer to an actual product. I proved it. It will result in a transaction and no affiliate commission will be paid. I don't need to read their FAQ. It serves no purpose. You are naive and should educate yourself on this flaw! The Mad Ape www.tatumba.com Open your eyes. You can use a fake hoplink to drive a customer to an actual product.

You need to rethink how affiliate programs work, and understand how the hoplink validation process works. You are talking about an invalid, non-existent product that will not result in an ecomm transaction. Further, adding any one else's affiliate syntax to a non-existant product link would be completely senseless, as it yields no sale anyway. Details are available for you to learn how this works at the ClickBank site under FAQ's. Well, what you “discovered” isn’t a discovery first of all, it is engineered.
