Affiliates - Disappointed with Your Merchants?

December 4, 2008 · Filed Under Affiliate Revenue · Comment 

If you aren’t generating the commissions you expected from your merchants, do some investigation. First, be realistic . This is not like selling more Girl Scouts than the other kids because your mother works in a big office and brings home the orders to you. To be successful at the affiliate game you have to really work for it, and you need to pay attention to two factors: uniqueness and appropriateness.

If you signed up through affiliate marketplaces with all the affiliate programs that were remotely relevant to your site and that would have you, your results will be related to the number of people who visit your site, and who happen to realize they need or want something at a represented merchant at the moment they’re on your site. They can get to the merchant directly or from many, many other sites, and yours happens to be the one this time. In all likelihood they have good products, represented fairly, but dealing with highly exposed sites isn’t likely to give you the best conversion per click.

Don’t get me wrong, we need accountants and they are a vital part of my life but what is a healthy cash flow from Mr Joe Average’s point of view?

How to Find the Right Affiliate Programs

December 3, 2008 · Filed Under Affiliate Revenue · Comment 

Finding the right affiliate programs to make money with is fairly simple. The first step is picking the niche topic or niche topics you want to have websites about. The best topics to start with are the topics you are interest in or passionate about.

After you decide the topics you can begin to look for affiliate programs that offer products that are related to your topics. Applying for most affiliate programs is easy and only requires you to give them your information and they’ll allow you to join their affiliate program. However, some affiliate programs have an approval process and won’t approve you to join their program without certain requirements like having a completed website, a certain amount of traffic or a certain method of advertising their product. For the affiliate programs that have tight criteria re-apply for them at a later date when your website is getting a large amount of traffic and your website is completely built.

Affiliate Marketing: Keyword Placement

December 3, 2008 · Filed Under Affiliate Revenue · Comment 

I have been receiving a lot of email lately concerning keyword placement. One thing that I always try to stress to affiliate marketers trying to optimize their website is that search engine spiders have been programmed by humans. The point of that statement is that search engine spiders will read a document similar to how an actual human will read a document. Many of the sites that I personally review fail to keep this knowledge in mind.

Here are some things you should keep in mind when optimizing your websites keywords. Remember though, no one really knows how the search engines work for sure, but we have come up with some great ideas that have worked in the past.

Common Decency……Let’s Keep it Alive!

December 2, 2008 · Filed Under Affiliate Revenue · Comment 

I recently had an experience with one of the affiliate programs I *was* involved with. This experience did not surprise me, but did however, disappoint me. It is a sad fact that it did not surprise me and I thought maybe an article on this subject might bring it to our attention.

I did willingly join this program and accept the terms of which I do understand. However, when customers of this online business owner would email me with complaints about the product and the fact that the owner would not answer any emails, I definitely had to think twice about promoting this product and affiliate program.
