A few tips for
promoting affiliate programs:
Join programs that offer products or services similar to your
site's content.
Try various programs
before you concentrate on just a few. Find out which programs
pay-off more and have better conversion rates. Most programs
have stats reports for you to view.
Free products or
services are obviously the best programs to promote simply becuase
everybody likes free stuff. Therefore, you will experience a
much higher conversion rate.
Go beyond the banner - Many programs allow you to use text
links to promote their product or service. It has been proven
that text links are much more effective than banners, so you
may want to throw in a couple text ads throughout your site.
Be creative!
Two things you should never do:
You should never join a program that requires you to pay a fee up
front to get started. If you come across such a program, it is more
than likely a scam. The other no-no is spam. Never ever spam! If
you are caught spamming most merchants will delete your affiliate
account and you will loose all your earned revenues.
