LP idea for clickbank products...

You can't iframe CB products. Smart vendors will use code to break out of it. It's also against CB's terms of service to do so.
Probably never get busted - but would suck if you put effort into it.

Any form of changes to the LP is not allowed on Clickbank. I have emailed and asked - no form of JS interference (including a lightbox) is allowed.
One could much rather - Create a nice LP - upselling the product. Get them to give you their email/name - and then have a link mailed to them taking them to their LP.
Will keep you out of the grey stuff and help you build a list.

Solution: only iframe if your visitors referrer is from your PPC source. If they come from anywhere else, then just display some kind of pre-sell page.
The vendor will be able to see referrals to their sales page from your iframe-domain, no doubt about that. But if they visit your domain they'll just see the pre-sell page.
The only way they'd catch you is if the vendor somehow finds your PPC ad and clicks it.
Or, if a competitor clicks your ad and sees what you're doing, and outs you to the vendor. Pretty rare though I'd imagine.

I have thought about this, my only concern is that I think the user would be expecting some free content.
Would you spin it like, they're getting special access to some new product or something? Or talk all about the features and say give me your e-mail to find out what it is? Something like that?
You answered it yourself in the latter part of your query. Or you can sell like 2 softwares in one package. Or something like -
Ignore the mistakes in the above post - I just quickly wrote it up as an example on this thread. You can get a How-to Guide written for a cheap price (I can write it for you, should you need it) - Once you have your proprietory Pre-Sell page ready - all you have to do is start doing volumes at this page. Such leads are known to convert like crazy

you can direct link to the checkout page and still get credit. so you can create your own sales page, or rip and edit the current one as needed. good times.
Good solution and simple too.
You'd add a sub-id to your url only for the traffic source, whatever it is, in this way the merchant will see the normal LP and the traffic see the real sales page.
I've been doing this for some time (the merchant had a real sucky optin popup which I hated). Does this violate CB TOS in any way?
It's a rather gray area with CB, in most cases you simply contact the vendor, tell them what you're doing - if it doesn't piss off the rest of the aff's too much and it's profitable for them it will be profitable for you. However it also opens you up to aff's reporting you as stated.
What I usually recommend if you want to bypass the vendors sales page is pretty simple, and also considered gray but works and nobody complains.
1. Surfer comes to your lander (your version of the sales page/whateva)...
2. On your "BuyNow' button you do two redirects
a) redirect to a page.html which serves the cookie (your hoplink 1x1 on the page)
b) redirect again from that page to payment link of that vendor and item (hxxp://1.vendor.pay.clickbank.net)
= You just cookie stuffed them on the 'buy now' click - so technically you're not stuffing as the user is showing interest in buying... do the above and check for your cbid on the bottom of the pay page, if you're there you're golden. << Show your vendor though, as you'll need other shit on the page that customers MUST be shown (this is where most get caught/don't understand that they are putting the vendor at risk). i.e. terms/conditions/privacy/refund policy etc. all must be on your version of the pitch page too.
Option 2:
If you have a big budget, some vendors (ehemm) also create /hiddenpage.html for you that's cookie stuffed with your ID so it's a promo page only YOU are supposed to be using, and we justify it to CB by saying just that, custom promo pages that are supposed to be aimed for one specific partner/cobranded page/etc, and they don't have a way to facilitate and potect these pages - so this works too.
Software does this for you too and technically you can make them go to a payment page from any site/page/link using this method without having to iframe, and you can't actually direct link properly using standard CB links either. Also iframing fucks your conversion/proper analysis and your vendor will see what you're doing pretty quickly if they have half a brain re avg's in the order form submissions/impressions etc. and the difference from the rest.
There is one direct linking method that's something like vendor_aff.pay.cb.... however the flaw with that one is if you're not the first aff to hit them with a cookie, it won't overwrite the existing one - so you have to be the first to serve it to them.
/tldr sorry i breathe CB shit daily..
