I've just started using PayDotCom to promote some affiliate programs. PayDotCom is in many ways very similar to ClickBank, although it does have a number of advantages.
Firstly, ClickBank requires a separate account for every different URL. In other words, you can't sell one product on http://www.firstsite.com and a second one on http://www.secondsite.com. You can sell a selection of products on one site though. Each account requires a setup fee too.
Secondly, until an account has paid out $100 three times on ClickBank, you can't request payments by direct transfer to your bank account. This is a fairly serious (expensive) disadvantage to anyone without a US$ bank account. I would need to either set up a bank account that deals with US$ with my bank, which I would need to have regular monthly cheques in order to justify the expense, or pay a substantial cost each time I banked a cheque, say $20-30. Once these costs start accumulating for every new account set up, it would get fairly expensive. PayDotCom pays directly to your PayPal account, which can often be transferred to a bank account for no extra cost.
Now, I'm sure PayDotCom has disadvantages too, I just don't know what they are yet. I've also added the PayDotCom widget to the blog which promotes popular products from both PayDotCom and ClickBank (see below for example).

Hi,
I'm trying to add the PayDotCom widget to my blog lizzette.wordpress.com but its not displaying correctly.
I'm on a Mac. Can you help me?

I wouldn't have thought that using a Mac would make any difference. Perhaps the blogging software you're using is causing a problem? Can you post a link to your blog please?
