Affiliate Marketing Walk-Through - What to look...
(Page 2 of 3 )
What to look for while choosing an affiliate program?
A major determiner for the right affiliate program is the product or service it offers. It’s useless joining any program which you can’t use or which offers lousy services. Look for the affiliate networks first. These are particularly helpful if you plan to run multiple websites. Typical affiliate networks offer many different programs for a webmaster to join. Majority of these allow you to look into the merchants’ directory before you join. Three of the leading affiliate networks today are Link Share, Commission Junction and Click Bank.
Secondly, never invest time on an affiliate program which has a low commission rate. Also, keep a tab on the dollar figure, which you will earn after every sale or action. For instance, 20% commission on a $100 item comes to $20, whereas a 50% commission on a $5 product is as meager as $2.50. So know the payment details well. This will help you decide whether to progress.
Does the company offer tracking?
In affiliate marketing, it’s very important to be able to check the stats—which ads are doing well, which are falling flat, the number of click-through and sales, etc. All standard affiliate programs have this affiliate tracking, allowing webmasters to see the stats anytime they want.
