Design Web Site About Affiliate Programs
By Author Bucaro
When starting a Web business, most folk choose a topic
for their Web site and then look for products and
affiliate programs related to that topic. In this article,
I suggest searching for a group of related affiliate
programs first, then designing your Web site about those
programs.
There are galore affiliate directories and affiliate network
Web sites wherever
you can search for the better programs. For
this example, I use Commission Junction http://www.jc.com
This affiliate network site provides a huge figure of
searchable information on over 1200 affiliate programs.
On Commission Junction's front page, click on the link
"Search all advertisers". This wish take you to a page
with a drop down list wherever
you can choice a category. In
order to search the information on Commission Junction,
you must be a member, but membership is free. After you
login to Commission Junction, go to the bottom of the page
to "Find Advertisers & links". Here you can get a list of
all advertisers, search advertisers by keyword, or browse
for advertisers.
Click on "Browse for advertisers". This takes to to a
table wherever
you can arrange the affiliate programs based
upon "EPC" or "Network Earnings". EPC is the average
earnings per 100 clicks. It reflects the affiliate
programs ability to convert clicks into commissions.
Network Earnings is a rank, on a scale of one to five, of
an affiliate program based on the figure of commissions
paid. In the head of the table, click on the name of the
parameter you are interested in. This rearranges the
entries based upon that parameter.
After you arrange the entries, you have to page past all
the "New" programs. I guess Commission Junction puts the
new programs at the top of the list to help promote them.
As you analyze the data you wish discover that the
programs that pay the highest earnings per click do not
necessarily provide the highest total earnings.
Some important points:
- Commission Junction is not the better affiliate network.
Their fees to advertisers are too high. Search Google for
other affiliate networks and affiliate programs.
- Join some nice programs. You don't want to build your
Web site about one program that may be discontinued.
- Don't join too galore programs. It takes time and activity to
promote each program.
- Don't be in a rush to join affiliate programs. Take your
time and choice a profitable category and high quality
programs.
Most folk get an idea for a Web site, and then look for
related affiliate products to sell. Why not research
affiliate programs first? Then you can discover what
categories of affiliate products and services are going
you earn you the most money. You can then design the topic
of your Web site about the most profitable product
categories and affiliate programs.
