I’ve been updating one of my sites. It’s been a while, so one of the things I needed to do was check to make sure that all Clickbank links still worked.

Wow.

I ended up dropping about half of them. About 4-5 sites had gone out of business, and at least 3-4 had switched from Clickbank to Paypal, so I wasn’t getting paid on anything I sent them.

No wonder I was earning so little from some of those products! I hadn’t thought much of it because they were on a relatively obscure part of my site, but still!

Yes, I am updating and trying to expand my use of Clickbank products on that site. It’s tricky, but I want to be recommending products whenever possible that are relevant to the articles. There’s more out there even for primarily informational sites than just AdSense, after all.

I want to do similarly for each of my sites. It’s very time consuming but I think it will be worth it in the long run.
