ClickBank is a privately held online marketplace for digital
information products. It aims to serve as a connection between digital content
creators (also known as vendors) and affiliate marketers, who then promote them
to consumers. In 2011 Revenue Magazine named the company as the top affiliate
network in the United States. The company has headquarters in Boise, Idaho, and
offices in Broomfield, Colorado.
The company is a subsidiary of Keynetics, and is the sister
company of Kount, an online security company. It was founded in 1998 by Tim and
Eileen Barber.
In 2009, the site had attracted over 1,000,000 affiliate
marketers, approximately 100,000 of whom were designated as 'active' at any given
time. In June 2011 the company claimed to have paid affiliates and vendors over
$1.8 billion, processed 35,000 transactions per day, and generated over $350M
in annual revenue.[citation needed] It offered over 46,000 individual products
to its affiliate marketers, and provided services in over 200 countries.
Payment processing
ClickBank continues to refuse to use PayPal to pay marketers
and vendors, despite repeated calls for this feature.
