Watch behind my shoulder as I teach you how to promote your affiliate products on Google Ads.
I am using ClickBank as the example network and product here, but you can use ANY product and the same idea will apply and same steps as I cover in the tutorial.
We have to take some steps and they are:
0:00 – Introduction
7:17 – Create a Google Ads account
10:14 – Select a product (ClickBank in our example)
15:09 – Create a landing page & thank you page
40:23 – Set up tracking
54:43 – Set up an autoresponder
1:11:02 – Promote on Google Ads
Let’s quickly go through them step by step and see what we have to do.
We do create a landing page for several reasons.
The first is that Google just doesn’t like links in the tracking template and if you are direct linking, this is the only way to promote your products (add a link in the tracking template).
The second reason we are using a landing page is that we want to build out our audience list and our remarketing list, and this can only be achieved via a landing page.
We also include the thank you page so that we can track how many people signed up and create a remarketing/retargeting list for these people for future marketing.
(1) Create a Google Ads account
π Simply sign up for an account at: https://ads.google.com.
Google will provide you with up to $100 in ad spend credit if you spend $100, so you can make some money back after spending some.
Ideally you want to use a gmail account, but any email account is fine – follow the steps, go to the advanced mode, and we’ll meet here again in step 6!
(2) Select a product
π In our case, we are promoting a ClickBank product, so just head over to https://www.clickbank.com to sign up.
Make sure to fill in the details correctly – ClickBank has some triggers that can put a block on your account if the information isn’t accurate.
Then just head over to the marketplace and select a product – Custom Keto Diet in our case.
(3) Create a landing page & thank you page
Next, we have to create our landing page. You can use any page builder you like, but I use Unbounce for their dynamic text replacement capability and flexibility in editing.
π Free Unbounce 14-day trial + 20% off first 3 months: https://go.ivanmana.com/unbounce
I spend some time building out the landing page and thank you page, but it’s generally pretty simple. Just check out my Unbounce playlist if you want more information about specific component of building out a page, such as adding a favicon or setting up a custom domain:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6JljKqlwFc&list=PLS46f4aLJ2hOdr6ZRw-9cnSXVWfa0r86i
We would need to then make sure that the landing page button is taking us to the thank you page, and that the thank you page is taking users to the affiliate offer.
(4) Set up conversion tracking
Tracking isn’t easy for an affiliate, especially when promoting on Google Ads.
However it is absolutely necessary because ultimately, you are paying for sales, not for clicks or impressions…
I use a very specific tracking tool (ClickMagick) that allows me to track any affiliate product.

Watch the video as we go through this whole process step-by-step of setting up conversion tracking for when are ready to promote on Google, or any ad network really.
I also have a ClickMagick playlist here if you want to know any specific details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZEkCaZSIJA&list=PLS46f4aLJ2hMFW0iuLowIfpQ0H-Tf4ion
(5) Set up an autoresponder
An autoresponder allows you to gather your most valuable asset (your email list/audience) while paying for traffic or reaping the results of time spent and hard work of SEO.
You can use any autoresponder you like, but I use GetResponse and it hasn’t disappointed me yet.
π Free GetResponse 30-day trial: https://go.ivanmana.com/getresponse
We simply grab the API key from GetResponse and plug it into Unbounce and voila – we have now set up the email automation as well with our Unbounce landing page.
For more GetResponse tutorials, check out my playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXfwCfi-SM8&list=PLS46f4aLJ2hOmmc_KDdG7S0ZfR9FOaLjn
(6) Promote on Google Ads
Finally, the fun part. We are now ready to create our ads and promote on Google Ads.
I don’t spend too much time going over every little detail, but I do go over everything you do need to create your campaign.
I do have a comprehensive 4-hour course that covers Google Ads in great detail, so make sure to check it out.
π Full step-by-step Google Ads course: https://amarketingessentials.com/courses/google-ads-search-masterclass/
But you would simply click some buttons, fill in the blanks, and have your campaign up and running in no time!
And that’s how you promote affiliate offers on Google Ads!

Hey Ivan, the video is good, but by mistake, you put the Affiliate link in the Google ads your Account Ban Soon ππ
"Kidding" kindly tell the better way because your audience Trust your Content.
great video! off topic, do you have a video showing how you do your videos? I like how you have yourself on the screen .
Ivan , dont u think Google will ban the account once we use clickmagic for cloaking ? Would be obliged if u kindly throw light on this
Hats off bro
Great video- again! I have an π for ya- I also like Title Case. So Iβm promoting a weight loss product- my ad included the word βtargetβ in title case – βTarget Fat β¦.β and it was rejected. Iβm guessing because Target is a store.
Getresponse has good landing pages as well.
Welp- I see why my Clickmagick isnβt working. π
Hi Ivan, great video, thx! When you include the affiliate link on the Thank You page, do you need to have an affiliate disclosure displayed on the page?
Thanks again and again.
This is a whole lot of value.
Hi Ivan great content, my question is how can we track different landing pages on the same campaign , looking forward to your reply.π
It was helpful, thank you
Hello @ivanmana. I hope you teach us about Facebook Ads… please bro
Man I rarely commentβ¦ recently found your channel, love your videos. Lots of ppl on youtube sound like salespeople. You speak genuinely and explain things clearly. Keep it up, canβt wait to watch all your vids.
Hey Ivan, with tracking setup like video, we can't know the exact sales from the email!
Is there any way to improve this?
Extremely grateful to you!
All well and good but you seem to have skipped the part that shows how the general public can sign up for a Google Ads account without having a registered business.
hey buddy , loved the content. i ha ve wix landing page, how can I place tracking into that ?
Your videos are like gold. Thank you
how long does it take to get the result?
This method doesnt work. Check out my channel, this way works
Hi Ivan, i have a question:
I have a successfull campaign, but Conversionrate on desktop is about 2,5% and mobile only 0,8 although the site is mobile optimized.
I had about 300 Clicks on mobile until i turned it off. Is it to early to make such a decision or would you do the same?
I had a loss of about $90 on mobile ads…
Thanks so far

I followed your vid, posted my ad and my account was terminated by Google, I am trying to figure out what I did wrong. I deleted all campaigns on my account and they still say I am in violation??? Can someone please help!!
After we make a SALE in CB, how much time does it take to payout coming in our bank account?

HI Ivan , i followed your all steps and ads was also running super fine after two days my google ads account get suspended , Please tell me the solution why my google ads account is getting suspended .. and raised the request but google is not reactivating my account .
Would it be better to promote a product directly if the company has created good google ad friendly links with pre made landing pages? Or should I always use my own landing page and email list?
Hi!
Can you please help me to resolve it! βΊοΈ
I tried all my ways!
Still some of my keywords iam not able to improve my ad relevance metric .
PS : mostly these keywords are our competitors companies names.
If you know!
Please answer this. Thanks in advance π
what to do if google constantly blocks your account?
Thank you!! You clear my mind
Can you help me figure out how to attract customers to the site?
LOL! You look so bored making this video! Maybe we should request 20-hour google ads training video!
Hey thanks Ivan. This page is for a hot audience though right? If I'm targetting a warm or cold audience, what do you think about: "Discover the keto diet" as a headline?
Would love to know your thoughts.
Thank you for this fine lecture.
I don't understand the url placement
the domain name and the final url
Hi Ivan absolutely brilliant channel Ive already set a few things up and had a few clicks on a Microsoft campaign. It looks like ClickBank have had an update since you did this video. Is the process different now?
Thanks Ivan this was really helpful! I am following these steps and just about ready to put up my first ad campaign with the landing and thank you pages. However, I was wondering if you recommend purchasing a unique and relevant domain to match the ad?
Didn't you get banned from google if you put your clickbank aff link in the thank you page? thanks for the video
