What is MoreSense?

MoreSense is a little piece of JavaScript that displays relevant ClickBank products on your website with your ClickBank Affiliate ID embedded. It works a little like Google's AdSense, except that it only displays ClickBank products. One day we'll be adding in eBay and Amazon products and so forth, but for now it's ClickBank.

MoreSense is very simple, and completely free. Everything you need to know to get started is on this page. We show you how to use MoreSense to show revenue-generating ads on your web site. If you print out this web page you will have the manual - 7 printed pages, including customizing and affiliate information!

How MoreSense works

Using proprietary algorithms, the MoreSense service searches the ClickBank product database for relevant items according to criteria that you specify, and presents those items on your web site. It's simple and easy to use, and it works every time. Here is an example. All of these are ClickBank products:

Here is the simple Javascript code used to create these ads. This Javascript has someone's ClickBank ID embedded in it. When you up sign for MoreSense you can get the code with your ClickBank ID embedded.

You can put the code anywhere on your page - in a div or table, and it will match the format of your page. Or, there are CSS codes embedded which you can use to customise the look and feel.

MoreSense is Flexible

MoreSense is flexible. Generally, it will just "read" the page it is installed in, and it will find ads relevant to the page. However, you can ask MoreSense to read ANY page on the Internet and find relevant ads. The ads below right are are result of reading the page http://www.recipe.com.

Reading http://www.recipe.com

Would you like to see something nifty? Enter your web page address here and then come back and look at the scrolling box. Let's see what it finds! Note that if it gives odd results, you may want to evaluate the content of your website. Many pages are not optimized to give the best results. But never mind - just use the MoreSense keyword option instead (see below).

1. To use MoreSense, you first need to have a ClickBank account. So first, go to ClickBank and set up an account there. It's easy and takes 5 minutes. Once you are signed up and you know your Clickbank ID, return to this page. The ClickBank signup page will open in a new window.
2. Second, sign up for an account with MoreSense. Make sure that you use your Clickbank ID to register. Then we can program it into your links.

Quick Programming

If you know what you are doing, you can modify your Javascript code directly rather than returning to our configuration page each time. Let's analyze how:

<script src="http://moresense.quallo.com/ms?u2=NO3CTBJ3G&w=200&show=3&type=f"> </script>

The parameters are as follows:

Mandatory parameters

• u2: this is a unique code assigned to you when you sign up. It's directly linked to your ClickBank User ID as stored in our system so do NOT change it!

  Optional but recommended parameters

• w: The width of your ad box. (if this parameter is not present, it defaults to 140).

• show: The number of ads to display (defaults to 5)

• type: type=f for the regular (fixed) box, type=s for the scrolling ads (defaults to f)

  Other optional parameters

• q: Keywords, e.g. q=real+estate (if this parameter is present, MoreSense will not read any page but will search on the keywords). q overrides url - if both are present, q will be used.

• url: Read a different page e.g. u=http://www.recipe.com If this parameter is present, MoreSense reads the specified page instead of the page it is on. Note that because URL's often contain weird characters that can confuse the query string, it's best to put the url parameter last in the list if you use it.

• h: The height of your ad box. If this parameter is not present, it defaults to 200.This value is really only relevant for scrolling boxes - in the fixed box it will be overwritten if more space is required for the ads.

• af: Use MoreSense formatting: e.g. af=1 (Default=off) If this parameter is present, MoreSense will use the MoreSense formatting shown in the sample formatting below. It's the same formatting used on this page and works well in most cases. If the parameter is NOT present, the ads will either default to your default page font, OR they will respond to your custom formatting as shown below. If in doubt, set this parameter to af=1 and forget about it.

  Special parameter for testing (Advanced Users Only)

• nocache: e.g. ?nocache=1 To speed things up, and because ClickBank only updates once a day, we save your ads in a cache file so we do not have to do the search each time. However, this sometimes can lead to problems if you are tweaking your script to get your ads quite right, but we are simply reading your saved file. Therefore, if parameter nocache is present, we do not save your results but we redo the search each time. This is somewhat slower, so be sure to remove the nocache parameter once your ads look like you want them!

Formatting your ads

It's fairly easy to size and position your ads, and format the fonts etc. Here is how:

• The WIDTH of the ad box is a setting when you create your Javascript

• The NUMBER OF ADS is also a setting

• You can POSITION your ads and put borders around them etc by putting them in DIV or TABLE cells.

• You can control the displayed FONTS as follows:
  1. You can use our own MoreSense formatting by selecting the option when creating your Javascript. MoreSense formatting will display the fonts exactly as shown in the ads on this page.

  2. You can use NO formatting, and in that case the fonts will follow the default font style on your web page.

  3. (Advanced) You can use your own custom formatting by creating styles which correspond to the classes built into MoreSense. These classes are as follows, and the example styles shown are the ones used by the standard MoreSense formatting:

     .moresensetag {font:bold 8pt verdana;text-decoration:underline;} // affects the "Ads by MoreSense" link shown with the ads

     .moresenseitem {font:8pt verdana;margin-bottom:12px;margin-top:0px} // inside the <P> tag that displays each individual ad

     .moresensetitle {font:bold 8pt verdana;text-decoration:underline;} // inside the <A> tag that displays each clickable link

     .moresensedesc {font:8pt verdana;} // inside the <SPAN> tag used for each product dsecription

     .moresensebox { border: 1px solid #000000; font: 8pt verdana; background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000;} // affects the font in the scrolling box

     If you do not understand this part, use options 1 or 2, and you should be OK.

How you earn revenue

You earn revenue from ClickBank (a separate organization) when someone clicks on the link on your page and buys a product through ClickBank. ClickBank will pay you. There is no financial arrangement between you and MoreSense (us). We simply provide the service of showing the ClickBank ads.

Refer people to us and earn more revenue

Your MoreSense Affiliate Link is also programmed into the "Ads by MoreSense" link that shows with the ads on your web pages.

How we earn revenue

The links that we provide will mostly incorporate your ClickBank ID. However, 10% of the time the link will use our own ClickBank ID, and 10% of the time the will use the ClickBank ID of the person who refered you to MoreSense.Therefore, about 10% of the time, when someone buys something we get the commission instead. We give you statistics about your pages, ads, and clickthroughs.

Is this safe?

Strategies

ClickBank allows you to log in and see your sales. If you find that there is a product that is selling well and earning you revenue, by all means feature that product directly on your website and use a direct ClickBank affiliate link. MoreSense can really help you identify the products that are of interest to your site visitors.
