Well, to some surprise, this thread survived the night with no rickrolls, dickrolls, or other sickroll links and goatse images.
Go to the site you want to promote. They should have a section for their affiliates with creatives in various sizes and formats. They should also probably have some keyword suggestions and other marketing tips.
If they don't, then just right click and save the image as', and use it. There should be no worries of copyrights. If there are you are dealing with someone stupid. Otherwise, photoshop up your own cover. There are tutorials everywhere. Gumby might make you one.
FF3 will let you drag the image off the page.
Good luck and congratulations for surviving a clickbank/ebook question.

yeah. im suprised too, but im sick of these noobs. they seriously do not read shit when they come to this forum.
im too tired to keep on flamin em.
OK then,
I'm sure it is probably against Jon's TOS, BUT,
one of you sneaky coders, make an auto-flaming, rickrolling, dickrolling, nickrolling, goatse-linking, script that will automatically post about 15 posts when a newbie hits on certain keywords like clickbank, ebook, and step-by-step, etc. Save us all some time.
I don't flame but it's certainly entertaining to watch for a break at work here.

Here's a more creative response:
Most people buy a copy of the book first; if you have a local print shop, then you're in luck. Otherwise, you will have to search around online. What they usually do is get a box printed up, then they snap a pic of it with their camera and post it to the sales page.
If you have a decent boat, it never hurts to post a pic of that as well. If not, just go to the local marina and take a picture of one there. No one will ever know the difference

Partially I'd say it is actually. But beyond that, they give rookie revenue, are not sustainable, and are just generally terrible. not to mention half the time they push an email subscription more than the product, and you don't get paid out if they make the sale off of the email.
But everyone here(99.99%) just hates ebooks in general. They are the plague of this industry.
Here's a hypothetical situation:
Suppose someone came onto a forum and claimed that they bring in 1000's a day to their site, which promotes a product that claims to bring 1000's a day to your site for only $x7.00.
Unfortunately, this person is unable to provide sufficient evidence to support the claim that their sales page gets 1000's of uniques per day.
Furthermore, suppose there is a 3rd party running banner ads (not in a rotation) on this site, and they can prove that their ad only gets about 100-200 impressions per day.
A question of credibility exists, as a site selling a product that claims to bring in 1000's of uniques per day should itself be expected to bring in 1000's of uniques per day. If you own a car wash, shouldn't your own car be spotless?
Take this hypothetical situation and multiply it by about 250,000; the result will be called clickbank.
Most people with this understanding will take it as an insult when asked to condone such an incredible offer.

I've always thought that most BH techniques, "Win a free iPod! (must complete seven Type A offers or one hundred nineteen Type B offers to qualify)" spam making e-mail an irrelevant marketing medium etc. were worse on the industry than the handful of jackoffs who publish crappy ebooks on ClickBank. Not all ebooks are bad, not even all of ClickBank's. It's retarded to characterise them as such.
As far as the general consensus of ebooks around here, it seems that the single most poular thread in WickedFire history is the Free Ebook Download Section. With over 1,800 replies and over 150,000 views, that sure is a lot of, er, "hate" that ebooks are getting isn't it?
"Oh, we all do it so we can expose them!"

Blackhat techniques and email submits are never something I've thought had much in common. Visiting a scraper/cloaking blackhat site of mine will get you redirected to a product based on your search(yes, a relevant product)....they have their own little algorithm. It's not harmful whatsoever.
Visiting one more towards the gray obviously gets you what you want as well. The only thing being decieved is the search engine. MOST ebooks out there decieve people, and essentially rip them off.
Let's take a look at a good example.

Yup. Tricking a bot vs. marketing your little brother's probably fictional death? Score. Ethical win for ebooks.

BHT are harmful inasmuch as they invariably involve exploiting weak points in a system which is otherwise being used profitably by marketers. The exploitation eventually screws the system. You name the marketing meme, its early implementation and promise has been skewered by people gaming the system. In fact, the only parts of it not screwed by the BH are screwed by the stupid jackoffs on ClickBank selling their get-rich-quick books to gullible newbs, which brings me to ...
I'd say that your comment applies to most books that are about making money, ever published, in any format -- whether Google Nemesis or Rich Dad, Poor Dad or what have you. You can probably throw in the bulk of all "self help" books ever, since most "get rich" books are just a subset of "self help."
My point in jumping in front of this particular flamethrower over and over again around here is that CB provides a virtually unique service to sellers, and it works well. There's nothing inherently bad about it. The ebook format itself, of course, has nothing wrong with it. Not all "make money" or "online business" books are bad -- eg. Perry Marshall's book on AdWords (a physical book) Chris Rempel's book on affiliate marketing (an ebook, sold on CB if I'm not mistaken.) There is some good but most of them, of course, are regurgitated nonsense.
My convoluted point is that targeting CB in particular, or even more bizarrely any plan which includes the word "ebook" in it, is targeting the wrong part of the problem. And to say that stupud get rich quick books, which have been around in some form or another for more than a hundred years, represent some kind of serious problem with the marketing industry, is turning a blind eye to a lot of practices that have done a lot more to fuck up good things that could have lasted, or tarnished the image of online marketing due to consumer complaints.
