So just released today is a new plugin called WP Hot Clickbank Offer.  It’s pre-loaded with 15 offers that the developer’s think you should promote or as they put it “they searched for the 15 newest and best selling products”.

The first problem I see is that you apparently are stuck with the products THEY think are the hottest sellers.  I don’t see anywhere where it says you can change them.  So if you have a niche blog, you can’t customize the products to match your niche.

Secondly, I see it becoming outdated pretty quickly.  Products on Clickbank turn over very quickly and unless they plan on being “married to this plugin” and providing updates regularly I don’t see where it will keep up.   They say that they’ll “send out updates” when the products start to “go out of style”.  They also say they don’t know if they plan to provide the plugin with any other niches.  So there you have it.  You can’t customize the ads to meet your needs, you’re stuck with what they think you should promote, and unless your blog is an “internet marketing” blog, the ads won’t be very relevant.  Heck, the clickbank links aren’t even cloaked!  Why would you want a plugin where you can’t control it’s content?

Chalk this one up to yet another lack luster attempt to cash in on the hot plugin market.  There’s just too many free plugins at WordPress.org for Clickbank that allow you to control what you advertise.

If you want a truly flexible Click Bank plugin with lots of nice features that is equally easy to use, you’re better off getting the CB Cashlinks Plugin.  It’s only about $7 more than the starting price for WP Hot Clickbank Offer (which is a dimesale so it’s rising after each sale) and it’s the best $$$ you’ll spend when it comes to paid ClickBank plugins.  Not to mention you can customize it’s content.
