Tips and Tricks for Affiliate Marketing
Here are some topics that will help with some of the most effective ways to create traffic and generate commissions: 1) Unique Links Unique Links First, the more links that are on a page the less likely the link is to be successful. Try to create and target pages that have as few links as possible. Place the links in prominent locations, such as above or below an image, in the title of an article, or in the header of the page. Links on pages surrounded by hundreds of other links tend to be looked at by search engines as irrelevant and get lost in the fray. Don’t get us wrong, every link out there can only help, not hurt, but it is a matter of where you want to spend your time. Having links surrounded by relevant content, reviews, information etc also tends to generate more traffic and better search engine rankings. Second, try to develop deep links. By deep link, we mean don’t just point to our main home page, (although there is nothing wrong with doing that either and it can only help), but try to point to a particular category or product. Try to find discussions, web sites, or create web pages that have a particular topic, product, or category, and surround the link with relevant information pertaining that particular product or category. Create a link that points directly to our page that has that category or product on it, rather than just the CagesByDesign.com home page. You can use your unique affiliate ID to link to ANY product or page on our web site directly. You can see our link tutorial to find out how, or we can help create the links for you if you let us know what page you want to point to – we can even look up what your affiliate ID is! You will get better search engine rankings, and more traffic from more interested customers, and therefore more sales and MORE commissions! Product Reviews Product reviews are a great way to generate relevant content and deep links. You can either review them on your own web site, other web sites, or within emails. Product reviews can range from a brand (example: Majestic Cages) or a particular product (example: Majestic Corner Bird Cage). How specific you will want to get will depend on how targeted the audience is on the page you are reviewing. Email campaigns can be a very effective way to generate sales and commissions. The more personal you make the email, the better the results. A product review or a recommendation tends to be a good traffic generator. We DO NOT encourage or tolerate spam – anyone using spam techniques will forfeit their commissions and will no longer be an affiliate. The more specific the email the better. Reviewing a particular product or promotion and linking right to that product tends to yield the best results. Keep an eye out for when we are having sales or promotions on our website. This would be a great time to send an email to your friends, newsletter subscribers, etc. to let them know about the sale and at the same time you will be earning a commission! Blogs/Chat Rooms Another great free way to get your link out there. Again, the more relevant the blog or chat room, the more likely you will have good results. Try to embed the link with a recommendation or a product review. This will add credibility to your link and increase the likelihood you will get an order and a commission. We do not encourage any affiliate to make things up or tell mis-truths. Our products are plenty good to stand on their own without a need to embellish! The more you know about our products, the easier it will be to talk and brag about them on the internet. We have a vast amount of information on our web site, or you can call one of our sales representatives any time to ask questions. Unlike other affiliate sites, we have very unique proprietary products. They are COOL! We have a lot of features once you get to know them that are easy to brag about and makes us stand out from the competition! We have also been on many cool television shows, sold to famous people, and have been in every major zoo in the country. There should be no shortage of material to talk about once you get to know our company and our products!
