Thread: Choosing the right affiliate...

Just some thoughts I wanted to share

When you research on what affiliate programs to go for, always take into consideration the market you are targeting - as they are the ones who will make the conversion on your site. Also, always try to pick one that you you have knowledge on. Providing more than the product itself is a big plus - useful info, good advice and post sale customer support will give you more customers via referrals.

After that, it would also depend on how you market your product to the right market. This is also a factor to be greatly considered in determining your success. IMO, when you want to earn big, you should be ready to spend for it as well.

I always opt for PPC to reach my target audience. Knowing how this system works would work to your advantage. Research (keywords), Selection(keywords and PPC provider), Implementation (bidding and start-up) and Analysis (which keywords worked best and cost vs. revenue).


What are your thoughts? How do you choose your affiliate program/product?

I think your way of doing things is just fine! follow the cat and you'll do ok.

I haven't tried any affiliate programs till date. may in future I'll try a few.

Good informative post.

Why? Are you scared? :twisted:

heh, I'm joking.

I just join which ever program that will provide a datafeed, and build sites from the datafeed. I must have built millions of pages. Luckily I did have a team behind me to do this then.

In the beginning, it was very exciting as I really thought I was going to earn thousands of dollars per day. But Google discovered these sites very quickly and promptly put the pages into the supplemental index. Therefore, I have earnt relatively little for all the effort that has been put in. However, the up shot is that I have got tons of conversion data from hundreds of merchants that will allow me to do more detailed targetting.

i think first thing you will see while watching for a affiliate is the payment option they give if it suits you then only signup with them.
