My CB Engine Review

As I said way back in my first post, the reason I created this blog was to spend some time checking out all the features of CB Engine – and then provide you with an honest, in-depth review.

In other words, unlike most of the sites you’ll see posing as CB Engine “reviews,” this site is NOT just a paste-in of promo copy off the CB Engine website.  What I’m sharing with you are my genuine thoughts, based on my actual use of the product.  (Which I own.)

Anyways, from  day one it’s been my intention to eventually write one main post that will give you “the real deal” on CB Engine - good or bad.

Well – FINALLY – here it is.  So read on and enjoy…

FEATURES UP THE WAZOO

The first thing you’ll notice about CB Engine is that it has a ton of features to help you find the top ClickBank products.  Here (in my opinion) are the major ones that’ll interest you:

• Full access to the current ClickBank Marketplace product list in sort-able columns.

• Detailed graphs, stats and ranking histories of the products.

• A slick Bookmark system that lets you save off product info from your search results – excellent for managing products you’re currently promoting or interested in.

• CB Storefront – a php script that lets you put a complete ClickBank mall right on your website.

• An advanced search box that lets you drill down and do customized searches that specify exactly what kind of product information you want to see.

• CB Insider – a special search algorithm that shows you products with high profit potential.

• CB Nickname Manager – gives you 1-click login to clickbank.com to view your stats.

• CB Ad Builder – lets you build ClickBank (Adsense-style) ads for your web site quickly and easily.

Now, because the site is so feature-rich, it might at first seem a little intimidating or confusing to a new user.  But I can tell you from my own personal experience that, with just an hour or two of use, you quickly get comfortable doing all the basic stuff you’d want to do – namely, find great products to promote.

After that, if you take some time now and then to play around and explore a bit, it just gets better and better.

CB ENGINE -  EASY TO USE?

At this point I’ve worked with CB Engine for about a month.  In that time I’ve checked out all of the features.  I’ve used it to pick out about ten different ClickBank affiliate products that I am or will soon be promoting.  I’ve used CB Ad Builder to build some Clickbank ads to put on my sites.  (ClickBank ads, if you haven’t used them, are like Adsense ads.)  And I’ve also setup a group of bookmark folders (by niche) to save my research info in.

Now, does that mean I’m now some kind of CB Engine “expert.”  Well – probably not. But that doesn’t matter.  Because the fact is, you don’t need to be an expert to start benefiting from it.

The truth is, CB Engine is ridiculously easy to use.  If you’ve already used the Clickbank Marketplace search tool (which I would assume you have), then you already know how to use the basic search tools CB Engine provides.  The only difference here is that instead of that kind of “clunky” text-based interface you get on the Marketplace page, CB Engine gives you a great graphical interface – with everything organized into neat, sortable columns.

[By the way - I don't what Matt Broich's background is (he's the creator CB Engine) but the "look and feel" of the site, the amount of underlying data it contains, and the fast performance of the site are all awesome.  So whether he outsourced the programming or did it himself, it is obviously the work of extremely-competent professionals.]

SO WHAT WILL CB ENGINE DO FOR YOU?

In a nutshell, then, here’s what I believe CB Engine will do for your affiliate product promotions.

CONCLUSION

If you’ve gotten this far, it’s gotta be pretty obvious by now that CB Engine has made me a believer.  Which means I get to feel great about promoting it, both to my list and to you.

But is it for everyone?

Here’s how I see it: if you’re content be a ClickBank part-timer and to just promote a couple of products, then you certainly don’t need the wealth of information CB Engine provides.  Just keep on using the normal Marketplace search tool.  Or else use the very cool freebie access that CB Engine gives you.  Even though it restricts the information you’ll be able to see, it’ll still be more than you get from the normal Marketplace searches.  And you’ll still get to enjoy its great easy-to-use interface.

But if you’re serious about making money promoting affiliate products on the ClickBank hop net – which to my mind means you’re going to be regularly on the lookout for new products to promote – this is a tool you definitely don’t want to be without.

If you’re like me, the more you use it, the more you’ll love it.  It’s gonna save you tons of time going through ClickBanks massive inventory (11,000 the last time I looked) of affiliate products.  But even more important, it’s going to give you the in-depth information you’ll need to make smart decisions about the affiliate products you’ll promote.

Bottom Line: If you’re serious about ramping up and making a full-time income as an affiliate marketer – and ClickBank is a major component of your online marketing strategy – then to me it’s a no-brainer. Click here to visit the CB Engine website.

P.S. – By the way, with a lifetime subscription only 17 bucks more than the $39.95 annual membership, to me, lifetime is the only way to go….

P.P.S – I mentioned this back in my very first blog post, but the place I first heard about CB Engine was in George Brown’s Google Sniper training manual.  If you’re not familiar with Google Sniper, it’s an absolutely awesome product.  To find out more about it, click here.
