We have an affiliate marketing program for our new game, I am interested in finding out how to get this working well for us. We are really looking at getting as much traffic into the site as possible.

 

[Valeri]

That's great You can build a blog directly dedicated to that particular game of yours and that will generate some free traffic for you also go on squidoo and build what is called a lens... its like a blog also but google ranks it very well... in that squidoo lens you can promote your game and send traffic from there to wherever you like! Hope this helps you

You can also join various Affiliate network as merchant and post your game to . Many affiliate website will show your product banner on there site and in turn you will get good amount of traffic and sales.

Your aff marketing link in your sig says it all. You are just here to sell your snake oil book. Hardly credible.

Spamming forums is obviously not your forte. It is far more credibile when a 3rd party recommends you.

Yeah but starting a thread about aff marketing and how easy it is when you are scouting for biz is a bit obvious for me.

Off to start a thread about Parcel delivery are we now Boxby.

 

[Valeri]

Forum spamming isn't my thing, and by giving people marketing advice and adding value to the forum is by far something you wouldn't call spamming.. just because i have a link in my signature...

And as you mentioned about a 3rd party, it doesn't often work this way in affiliate marketing game... Everyone is to fend for themselves and 3rd parties play little role most of the time

Hmm, well bully for you. Nice way to start a thread but transparent for me but then again I am not as gullible as some. Good luck with the snake oil of telling people how to get rich instead of doing it yourself.

I am quite happy to help others make money, they just gotta listen and learn instead of arguing with me..

i started a post the way i did to make people aware that you can actually make money affiliate marketing unlike other online garbage that sends you broke and pays nothing...

I have an affiliate program and also have an office dedicated to affiliate programs and we are too busy making sites to be helping other people. With all due respect I think you are talking out of where the sun don't shine.

 

[Valeri]

You see, i dont run a whole affiliate marketing university... i am a student there and was lucky enough to learn enough skills to be able to help others for free and to answer your question , i got plenty of time on my hands to help others as i only work 3-4 hours a day on my own campaigns and spend the rest of my time in forums and going out

 

[madders]

Right, well moving on from the insults I have a question.

I have affililate links on my website , but they are not very effective, I dont have many as I know very little about this side of things , but I do have a lot of traffic to my websites and the links I put there are related to my business, so can you tell me where I am going wrong?:|

 

[Valeri]

Ok... first of all let me ask you this... do you have adsense on your website ? if not i suggest you go and apply to Google adsense, all it is is google will display their ads on your website, you can chose how many and where on the page, if people click on them you get paid a share of the advertising revenue gained from those ads its a cool little way to use some of your traffic that you get if they arent interested in what you offering they click on ads and you get paid instead of them just leaving the page and you get nothing!

Also.. go sign up to clickbank for an affiliate account and chose a couple of products from the marketplace that you like and get the hop links for those products... Put those products up on your website and do a little write up about each one of them.... then hopefully those things will get clicked on and bought , then you will get a comission from clickbank for up to 75% of the inical cost of the product...

Try doing those things and i hope most of your traffic converts to cash instead of wasted clickouts!

 

[madders]

I don't have adsense on my websites, as I dont want to take peopel away from the website. People pay to advertise on there so they dont want people to click to another holiday home website .

I do have a couple of accounts with affiliate rprograms and as I said they ones that I have added relevant ( travel insurance, flights, maps, amazon) have not been efffective at all so I am puzzled.

 

[Valeri]

alright i see... If you are trying to sell things like travel insurance and other travel related gear that is under $70 or so... clickbank has following things that is worth a try for you, these are just ideas, its up to you if you decide to use them or not

http://tested1.session99.hop.clickbank.net/
http://tested1.smtp2go.hop.clickbank.net/
http://tested1.infojam.hop.clickbank.net/
http://tested1.infodawg.hop.clickbank.net/

These are clickbank products to do with travel that might be interesting to you and you can use them on your site... they are all around about $50 and less and generate you anywhere from $15- 20 a sale! And some of those are sure to grab attention of traveling crowd!

I really hope this helps you

 

[madders]

Thanks . Had a quick look at them, but they are all those type of websites that you buy to make quick bucks, this is not good for the reputation of my website and not at all the image that we at Late Getaway.com wish to portray.

We are a genuine travel/holiday home swap company that wants to offer a good service and any affiliates that I would consider on my site has to be of a similar quality company to ourselves.

I would not wish to send my customers to this type of website as I dont trust them. I would only deal with comapnies that I am happy a bone fide etc. I may be wrong, but I am not willing ot take that chance.

Thanks anyway maybe they would be suitable for other members websites.

If it's the site I think it is then you have added banners to the foot of each page which are unlikely to be very effective?

If you have text links in context, for example:
where you have the cottage in Gloucestershire - you could have a text link that says something like 'alternative accommodation options in Gloucestershire' which deeplinks to a relevant affiliate page.

These kind of links convert at least 10 times better than banners. The more in context they are and the more they appear part of the content of the page then the better the result will be.

 

[madders]

Ok thanks Crossdaz ,I will look into that. The banners are actually on the right hand side of the page , not at the bottom see example . ( Not sure if I am mean to paste a link in here, but no doubt they will tell me if I am not and I am sorry admin if that is the case.)

I dont want to send people to other accommodation sites as this would not be in my members best interests, but advertsing flights, cars, insurance and such like would be , but I havent had any effect with theo nes that I have on there at the moment

I dont have any adverts at all on Exchange Holiday Home.com so I think I am missing out on a good opportunity, I just want it to be a secondary and useful thing for the customers.

Car hire, travel essentials and flights will do well, yes. (there is an awful lot of competition with flights though).
With regards to not sending people to other accommodation sites, what about people who don't find what they are looking for on your site? They will be visiting other sites anyway so it would be wise to help them out for a small reward, rather than letting them go for nothing?

 

[madders]

I suppose so, but when I am trying to get members to jioin it may put them off if I am doing that?

The affiliates that I have on there now, give no return and I just dont know why

 

[steviemac]

Valerie, I actually find it very hard to believe you were able to give up your day job within 5 months of learning affiliate marketing. I have been involved in internet marketing, creating adsense websites and the like for over 8 years and I KNOW it is VERY difficult for the average person to make a living out of affiliate marketing!

Like the other poster I think you are really just promoting that 'get wealthy' website in your link. I would always ask people with such claims to show a paypal statement or clickbank statement to prove what you are earning (IDs etc covered up).

So if you make a full time income from clickbank or affiliate schemes inside 5 months, you have been incredibly lucky I would say.

 

[crossdaz]

yeah, I've just realised, I just assumed you were selling holidays? :redface:

You know a bit more now though - text - in context

huh?? you mean just getting your signature link quickly into another thread perhaps?

 

[madders]

Still dont know why the ones I have on the there dont actually work, I would have though they would be useful , but I suppose that's just the way it is then. I wont be adding the suggested type of affiliate for sure, not my thing lol

 

[crossdaz]

Still dont know why the ones I have on the there dont actually work

Two main reasons:

1) They are obviously ads and people have become conditioned to ignore them (how many adverts on the TV do you actually pay attention to?); and,

2) A lot of security software blocks ads by default without people realising (or caring) so a lot of people don't actually see them.

 

[BusinessIdeas]

Nope I am just interested because I have never gone into affiliate marketing on my sites. I sometimes subscribe to a link just to learn about something, when I have no knowledge on a subject, and I learn quite a bit by reading what others have written; rather than gobbing off about something I know nothing about. Maybe you should try it sometime
