Affiliate Program Success Tools

Here are some resources that may help you create a successful web site.

There are many variables that determine how successful you are with your affiliate program. Here are some common ingredients that contribute to success.

  1. Your Web Site must have a theme or focus. The affiliate programs that you link to must be related to that theme.

  2. Your site must generate traffic because you offer something of value relevant to that theme, e.g., useful information, products and services. If you do offer value people will visit your web site and some of those visitors will be interested in one or more of your affiliate programs. Don't expect a web site with only affiliate links to generate enough traffic on its own to be viable.

  3. A web site is like a billboard in a dessert. No one could know it is there unless you tell them it is there and entice them to visit you. You do this by registering your web site with search engines and search directories. You can become a member of relevant web rings. You can exchange banner and text links with similar theme web sites. And you can use paid advertising.

  4. Your web site must be designed to quickly capture the attention of visitors. It has to look good. It must be easy to navigate, quick to load, and must encourage people to return with constantly revised content and/or special offers.

Here are some sites for you to visit to find tools that will help you create and maintain a high-traffic web site. Click on the category that interests you:

    Ezines/Newsletters

    Ezines and newsletters are one of the hottest techniques for web site promotion on the Net. If you're not offering a free newsletter on your web site you're missing out on accumulating a list of email addresses of people who willingly want to receive information from you. This form of "opt-in" advertising is hot because it works. You send out a monthly or weekly newsletter with helpful information and plug your business at the same time. This is not spamming, since subscribers have requested to be put on your list. We suggest signing up with a few newsletters to give you an idea of what others are doing.

    Fighting “Scumware”

    Here are a few excerpts from Allan Gardyne’s web site. Go to that web site for detailed information on the scumware problem and tools to fight back: Associate Programs - Scumware Resources Page

    Scumware

    You've heard of software, freeware, shareware and perhaps vaporware. Now there's "scumware". As outrage spreads over eZula's TopText and other browser plug- ins which divert traffic from your web site, "scumware" is the name which is being accurately applied. Scumware DEFACES the content of your web site. It OVERLAYS advertisers' links on your site without your permission. It either diverts, hijacks or steals traffic from your site.

    Many of the 7.4 million people who downloaded KaZaa - a Napster- like file-sharing tool - apparently didn't even realize that they were also installing TopText. TopText, like Microsoft's widely denounced SmartTags, works through your browser. It modifies your web page, highlighting in yellow all the keywords which eZula has sold. Advertisers pay per click for the keywords.

    What it's doing is inserting advertisers' hyperlinks in YOUR pages.

    For example, if you have used the phrase "car loan" on a web page, TopText could turn that phrase into a hyperlink which your visitors click on, robbing you of potential sales or commissions.

    As Danny Sullivan of searchenginewatch.com says:
    "As a result, potentially Coke could advertise so that any time 'cola' appeared on the Pepsi site, the word would have a hyperlink leading back to the Coke site. Similarly, Ford could advertise so that the word 'car' on any pages across the web - including those at the General Motors web site - would link to Ford."

    Here is the URL for SearchKing, a web page where you can get a free cgi script to stop scumware from working on your web pages: http://www.searchking.com/ezulakiller/ You can install a simple line of code that loads from SearchKing’s server or you can install the code on your own server.
