Types of Affiliate Programs

June 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment 

Affiliate websites are often categorized by merchants (i.e., advertisers) and affiliate networks. There are currently no industry-wide accepted standards for the categorization. The following types of websites are used by affiliate marketers.

• Search affiliates that utilize pay per click search engines to promote the advertisers’ offers (i.e., search arbitrage)
• Comparison shopping websites and directories
• Loyalty websites, typically characterized by providing a reward system for purchases via points back, cash back
• CRM sites that offer charitable donations
• Coupon and rebate websites that focus on sales promotions
• Content and niche market websites, including product review sites
• Personal websites (This type of website was the reason for the birth of affiliate marketing; however, such websites are almost reduced to complete irrelevance compared to the other types of affiliate websites.)[citation needed]
• Weblogs and website syndication feeds
• E-mail list affiliates (i.e., owners of large opt-in -mail lists that typically employ e-mail drip marketing) and newsletter list affiliates, which are typically more content-heavy
• Registration path or co-registration affiliates who include offers from other merchants during the registration process on their own website
• Shopping directories that list merchants by categories without providing coupons, price comparisons, or other features based on information that changes frequently, thus requiring continual updates
• Cost per action networks (i.e., top-tier affiliates) that expose offers from the advertiser with which they are affiliated to their own network of affiliates
• Websites using adbars (e.g. Adsense) to display context-sensitive, highly-relevant ads for products on the site

In this list you can find “comparison shopping websites and directories“.

Video Improves Conversions

June 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment 

I first implement video into my affilitiate websites late last year.

Boy! has it increased my conversions!

Although video is definitely a great tool to your kit it is important to implement it correctly. You must not make your video to long. Through testing and research I found 3-4 minutes for a video is optimum.

The majority of my visitors watch the introduction video and stay on my website for 3-4 minutes!

Video is a great way to really sell your product. It’s somthing different, and alot of affiliate marketers still haven’t caught onto the trend.

I personally recommend Camstasia. It’s a great video tool, you can virtually record your screen and everything you do. It has an inbuilt automatic zoom sensors which help you when it comes to producing a quality movie.

Guess what! For a limited time you can get a 30 day free trial ! If you interested click here.
