BEST PRACTICES OF TOP AFFILIATES
In our day-to-day conversations with affiliates we are often asked the question “Which marketing techniques produce
the best results”. The methods most relevant to your areas of interests can only be found through careful planning
and testing. Affiliates who are successful at generating revenue month after month are able to attract and keep their
visitors while effectively targeting offers from merchants.
In general, here are a few of the "Best Practices of Top Affiliates"
Promote, Promote, Promote
They promote their website consistently and create strong brand awareness while building traffic. Most have
developed an expertise in search engine optimization or pay-per-click search engine traffic. This way they are
able to keep steady traffic. They stay up-to-date with the latest tactics and trends and test out new methods.
If you'd like to get more familiar with this we recommend that you check out websites that specialize in this
area and visit discussion forums related to search engine traffic building. A couple of our favorites are
searchenginewatch and seochat.
Value, Value, Value
Top affiliates use their websites and newsletters to give their visitors what they are looking for - what they
find valuable. For instance, information, entertainment or resources to solve a problem. If your website attracts
a lot of visitors but they are not coming back or taking any action at your site this is a sign that you have to
get to know your audience better. Make a survey available on your website so that you can gather information about
your visitors preferences and get their feedback. Analyze your log files to learn about how your visitors are going
through your site. This will arm you with more information so that you can improve your site to provide the value
that your target audience is looking for.
Relevant, Relevant, Relevant
Successful affiliates promote services and products that are relevant to the content of their websites and that fit
with their visitors interests. It's also important to experiment with different types of ads to find out what type
is most relevant and appealing to your target audience. Test out different types and monitor the results. Eventually,
you'll get a better understanding of what is relevant and you can focus on using these types more and more often.
Like any other business owner, successful affiliates are always fine tuning their strategies - recognizing their
strong points and working on their weak points.
