Merchant Affiliate Programs - What Is the Best Affiliate Network?

You may ask why not just list your product on multiple affiliate networks in order to gain maximum exposure and gain extra affiliates. You can do this, but then you have to create multiple sales pages all with the same copy on the same domain which the search engines won't like and your affiliates would quickly recognize this and abandon you.

The reasoning for this is that if they send the traffic to your sales page with their affiliate link/cookie and that customer doesn't purchase the product right then but tries to come back a few days later and inadvertently finds one of your OTHER sales pages with a different network, that affiliate obviously won't get credit for the sale.

This will severely turn off any affiliates who have this realization, but furthermore it just looks extremely awkward having multiple sales pages on the same domain which is why you don't see it more often.

However, in the case of the merchant affiliate programs I'll be covering in this article I will address this as there is an exception which I'll get to in a moment. Right now, let's talk about what is the best affiliate network to sell your new product through.

ClickBank Vs. DigiResults

With the completion of my new informational product, I had to consider which affiliate network I would sell it through.

My first instinct was to go with ClickBank; they've been around for years, it's a reputable brand name, they're known for informational products, they have a huge marketplace and affiliate base, and they handle every aspect of payment on your behalf. Then I heard about an up and coming affiliate network which was garnering a lot of praise called DigiResults.

The battle lines were drawn, let's see who came out on top in each of the most important categories.

Product Registration Cost/Transaction Fees

Winner, DigiResults

Obviously there are going to be costs associated with selling your product through an affiliate network because they're doing a lot of the work such as payment tracking and processing.

ClickBank requires a $49.95 activation fee (lame) for every new product you list in their marketplace, and every new product has to be approved to ensure that you meet their strict guidelines for merchants. Additionally, they take a cut of every sale which you log. The exact cut is $1

Five Tips For Affiliate Marketing

ByJeff Solwuck Affiliate marketing can be a very profitable endeavor for you if you use it in the correct manner. The article below will provide you with some tips you can utilize to help ensure you have success with your affiliate marketing quest. Thoroughly research any products that are interesting to you. You should never promote any products that never interest you because there is no way you are going to be able to convince people to buy products that you wouldn't normally buy. People will be able to tell that you are not interested, no matter how hard you try to sound interested. If you promote products that you are interested in, then you will have a much better chance at convincing people to purchase your product. Carefully select the affiliate programs that you plan on using. There are all types of affiliate programs out there. A few examples of well-known ones include Google, Amazon, and LinkShare.

How to Crush It With Facebook Ads

It seems there are a lot of people out there that have a negative view of using pay-per-click advertising to build their list. Paid advertising is in fact one of the BEST ways to authentically and rapidly build your list with highly qualified and motivated leads. But, you have to be willing to pay. So, as an Internet marketer, I strongly feel that online ads are an integral part of any marketing campaign. It's our duty (and sometimes a challenge) to design ads that catch the user's attention and get them to click on it. It's as simple as that. One of the more popular places where online ads have been growing in popularity is on Facebook. The social networking site has over 750 million users - which demonstrates a massive reach when it comes to offering your services into new markets. Thus, it makes sense that Internet marketers have been using Facebook as another platform (along with Google AdWords) to extend their marketing campaign. But, there is a catch. What is the...
