As 2008 evolves, expect affiliates to exploit social media marketing (SMM) for SEO, controlling search engine rankings through links and growing fan bases on the sites above, plus destinations such as Digg, YouTube, Del.icio.us, and many more.

Facebook's social ads, for instance, despite initial consumer privacy concerns, can potentially compete with Google AdSense. 2008 should also see a boom in niche social media interest sites in areas such as travel and home and garden that affiliates can align their affiliate program verticals with.

Video should also prove a major marketing trend in 2008.

Make a Little Research before Using Affiliate Program

Make a Little Research before Using Affiliate Program

Before recommending some product via your affiliate link, you should research affiliate program carefully. If possible, you should test out the product yourself. It is vitally important to recommend the highest quality products to your site visitors and subscribers. If you cannot test out the product personally, you can go to one of the large forums, where many affiliates are posting everyday. Digital Point and Warrior Forum are two good places to start your investigation. Both of these forums have topics where you can learn about numerous affiliate products.

Go to the forums and check out postings regarding the affiliate programs you are considering. Look for comments about it.

You will see that forum members are going to be very helpful. By doing this type of research before using affiliate program, you can save time and maximize your affiliate earnings.

How ClickBank Affiliates Can Minimize Link Theft

How ClickBank Affiliates Can Minimize Link TheftAffiliates obviously want to make more with ClickBank and receive all their commissions.

For ClickBank publishers it is important to take this issue seriously also. By taking steps to minimize link theft publishers are likely to gain more affiliates who are eager to promote their product. The major reason for link theft is customers' desire to get affiliate commission as bonus or discount when purchasing any ClickBank product. So, these customers deprive affiliates of their affiliate commission.

It's easy to find out the publisher nickname and then replace the original affiliate nickname with desired nickname inside standard ClickBank hoplink (AFFILIATE.PUBLISHER.hop.clickbank.net) and thus deprive the affiliate of their commission, but there are some preventative steps that ClickBank affiliates need to take in order to minimize ClickBank link theft. The main idea of these steps is to try to hide publisher nickname from customers.

One of the key steps is to cloak ClickBank hoplinks.

It's easy way for others to replace your affiliate nickname with their own, because they can determine publisher nickname by hovering over one of your affiliate hoplinks. It is possible to see the target URL revealed in the status bar and/or in the page source unless you have cloaked all Clickbank hoplinks.

Choose Selected Publishers

When looking for products choose publishers who cloak their paylinks, because it is another easy way for customers to get publisher nickname. Unless publisher has cloaked paylinks, it is possible to determine the target URL and potential commission stealers could then substitute the original affiliate nickname with their own.

Also, if the affiliate program is heavily publicized at the point of sale then a potential customer can simply sign up to the affiliate program and use link substitution to purchase the product using his own affiliate nickname. So, it is desirable to reduce affiliate program link visibility for ClickBank publishers, for instance, publisher can make this link less conspicuous.

It is very important not to send traffic to ClickBank publishers that accept other payment processors. If a ClickBank affiliate directs a customer to publisher's site and the customer chooses another payment processor to checkout ClickBank affiliate will not get the commission for this sale.

By implementing these simple tips ClickBank affiliates can ensure that they will receive their Clickbank affiliate commissions.

How to Make More Money with Affiliate Programs and your Blog

How to Make More Money with Affiliate Programs and your BlogThere are tons of affiliate programs for bloggers available and here is a few tips that should help bloggers get the best results out of any affiliate program that they choose to run with.

Your Blog Readers Are Kings


Put yourself in your readers' shoes and consider what they might be looking for as they read your blog. Are they looking for specific products? Might they be looking for related products or services? What would trigger them to purchase? Start with your reader in mind rather than the product. If you take this approach, you could end up doing your reader a favor as well as making some dollars on the side.

Unique Personal Texts about Products you sell Always Work Best

There are hundreds of thousands of products and services for you to choose from to recommend to your blog’s readers, but making money from them is not as simple as adding affiliate links to them from your blog. Your blog’s readers come back to your blog day after day because they have some level of trust and respect for you and perhaps the quickest way to destroy this trust is to recommend to buy something without your personal good attitude to this product. People want to know what they are buying and they will buy product if they like your attitude to it.

Sell Quality Products

Readers of blogs want to buy the best products money can buy and are more likely to make a purchase if you have found the best product for them. Find out products and companies with good reputations and quality sales pages. There is nothing worse than giving a glowing review of a product only to send your reader to a page that looks cheap and nasty.

Texts with Links to Products Work Best

If you think that all you have to do is to put an Amazon banner ad at the top of your blog to make some affiliate money, you should know that nothing could have been further from reality.

The secret of contextual ads like Adsense is that a reader is reading a post on a particular topic on your blog and when they see an advertisement for that same product they are more likely to click it than if they saw an ad for something else. The same is true for affiliate programs. A banner or text link to a general page on every page on your site won’t be anywhere near as effective as multiple links throughout your blog that advertiser products that are relevant for readers reading specific parts of your blog.

So if you’re writing a blog about TV tuners and have a review for a particular product - the most effectively affiliate program that you could link to from within the content of that page would be one that links directly to a page selling that specific model of TV tuner. It is more work than contextual advertising because you are not just putting one code into a template, but rather need to place different links on many pages - but it has been worth the effort.

More Affiliate/Blog Hacks

It's good idea to position affiliate links in the hotspots on pages, like the top of a left hand side bar - or inside content - or at the end of posts above comments, to make affiliate advertising as effective as possible. Also, consider how you might direct traffic on your blog toward pages where they are more likely to see your affiliate links.

Do not put all your affiliate efforts into one basket. There are plenty of products out there to link to so there is no need to just work on one. At the same time, you should not mess your blog up with too many affiliate links.

Affiliate programs are compatible with advertising programs. Affiliate links will not take the focus off your Adsense ads, there is real potential for both to work hand in hand as different readers will click on different ads. You should think about the impact that your affiliate links have on other revenue streams, but do not let one stop the other.

Track your Affiliate Sales

Most affiliate programs have at least some type of statistics that will allow you to watch which affiliate links are effective. Tracking your results can help you plan future affiliate efforts. Keep track of what positions for links work well, which products sell, what wording around links works well and use the information that you collect as you work plan future affiliate strategies.

The Three Ways to Boost Affiliate Earnings

The Three Ways to Boost Affiliate EarningsIt is sometimes easier to make money online as an affiliate, because you don't have to focus on product creation or customer service. Once you build your affiliate website(s), you can simply focus on marketing and collecting the paychecks. Even though many tactics to increase the size of your affiliate earnings, read about these three that are going to help you boost your affiliate earnings quickly:

These three ways are:

1. Create a unique website or page to promote each of the affiliate products that you are selling.

Each page should be optimized for the search engines, and you should write a keyword rich review of the product/service. Include the product/service name in the title, as well as in the body of the review. Often people search for a product by name, and this can really help your websites with your search engine rankings.

Learn about the product before you write review, and buy the product if you can. If you know things about the product that the average affiliate doesn't know you will write a better review. Testimonials from customers, photos of the product, and articles around the topic of the product support your affiliate efforts also.

Internet searchers also love reviews because it's a chance for them to find out more about the products they are interested in buying. Although it's a lot more time consuming to create a unique page for each product you are promoting, in the long run, it's a lot better for your business because you have more to offer than the average affiliate.

2. Build a list by giving away free reports.

Most affiliates don't bother to build a list, and so they have to work harder to get traffic instead of simply recycling the traffic they have. Also, because they tend to use the ads and other promotional materials that the merchant offers, instead of creating their own, they lose their opportunity to be unique and make the sales.

If you can write a short report on topic of affiliate product, you are way ahead of other affiliates. This is an opportunity for you to offer your potential customers more information, and it also gives them an incentive to join your list.

You benefit because it gives you an opportunity to recycle your traffic by allowing you to send multiple sales messages to your readers. Readers are more likely to buy if they have a relationship with you, and they've been exposed to the product offering more than one time.

3. Drive targeted traffic to your website.

The difference between targeted traffic and untargeted traffic is that targeted traffic usually comes from those who are looking for what you have to offer. They are more disposed to buying.

In addition to search engine optimization, you can also write articles to submit for publication on article directories, as well as ezines. Since most ezine directories don't accept articles with affiliate links in them anymore, it's crucial that you have your own website.

Try to write at least two articles per week, and make sure they are at least 300 to 600 words. Write and submit consistently as this is the easiest way to ensure a steady flow of traffic to your site.

There are many ways you can use to increase your affiliate earnings, but these three are highly effective. It will take some time to implement them, but they will help you to increase your earnings from affiliate programs.
