Affiliate Advertising That Will Get You Big Results

Writen by Christopher Kyalo

The biggest challenge for any affiliate has to be advertising. How does an affiliate achieve effective advertising that will get them the massive audience they require to make money from their affiliate program?

It matters little how good the affiliate program that one has joined is. It matters even less how generous the affiliate commissions' structure is. If the advertising program carried out by the affiliate is not effective, then failure is inevitable.

The most effective affiliate advertising that will get you big results involves only two simple steps.

Effective Affiliate Advertising is Setting Up A Blog To Capture Prospects Blogs are very simple to set up and yet they tend to build up traffic much quicker than sites. Search engines also love them due to the fact that they are usually regularly updated with fresh content.

These are just some of the reasons why blogs are the most effective advertising weapon for any affiliate.

The affiliate will need to understand well in advance, what kind of audience they would like to target their advertising at. This will tend to be the audience that is most likely to purchase the affiliate product or service being advertised.

Effective Affiliate Advertising Is Getting Enough Traffic To Your Blog Once the blog for affiliate advertising has been set up, the next challenge is how to get enough traffic to it. If you can get enough one way links pointing at your blog from as many high traffic sites and blogs, then you are guaranteed of success. The immediate impact of these links will be to drive traffic to your blog that is more targeted than any traffic you will receive directly from search engines. Over a period of time, the links will help you get a good ranking with search engines which will in turn drive massive traffic direct from search engines to your blog through most of the keywords that you will have used at your blog. Most keyword phrases will be almost useless if your blog does not have enough links pointing at it from other blogs. Actually the more links you can accumulate, the more successful you are bound to be advertising your affiliate program.

The challenge will be how to generate a constant flow of one way links pointing at your blog.

Affiliates Publishers Success

Making Money From Your Web Site

You've created a great site with lots of great content and you have chosen your web host. So… big question… what's next? Unless you are especially altruistic (and if you search the web, you'll be surprised to see just how many people are), you'll probably want to make some money out of your efforts. But how do you turn this stream of dots on a screen into a revenue stream? Here are a few pragmatic tips that might help… basic steps that will get you started and (hopefully) start you thinking.

How will people find my site?

Before you can make money from your site, people have to visit it - it's as simple as that. Your first job then is to get people to visit your site. It doesn't matter whether you have the best site in the world, if people can't find it you are never going to get any visitors. Getting your site known means using search engines, and to get you started, that means submitting to a few of the key engines, particularly Google.

Luckily, there are a number of free web sites that help people to submit sites to search engines. The one I use is Addme.com. This has a very simple interface which guides you through submitting to a number of engines including Subjex, Alexa, Scrub The Web, FAST Search AllTheWeb, LookSeek, Jayde, InfoTiger, NerdWorld, Aeiwi, Walhello, LifeTips, ExactSeek, and EntireWeb. Most importantly, Addme.com gets you into Google. You might want to supplement this with a registration to MSN and Yahoo! (outside Google two of the biggest players) although I have never found registration to the latter particularly easy. Take a look around on the Internet - you might see others submission sites that I don't know about that will help you out with Yahoo! In fact there are thousands of search engines you need to submit to, but for now, until the ball starts rolling, this will do. Don't make the mistake many people do – don't hit as many registration sites as possible in order to increase your chances of a good placing. It doesn't work like that – submitting to the same engine many times actually does the opposite. In fact, it could get you completely banned from a search engine. And don't submit specific pages of your web site as an alternative – it won't help. The search engines are smart enough to recognize the similarities between www.yoursite.com and www.yoursite.com/page1.html!

How will people even know my site exists?

OK – so search engines are going to direct people to your site, but that's not the whole story. If you had a regular business, a 'bricks and mortar' business, you'd want to let as many people as possible know as quickly as possible that you have started operations, right? Why would an Internet business be any different? As soon as you are up and running, make sure you send out Press Releases. Fortunately, there are now countless Press Release sites on the Internet, most are free; some provide a much more expansive coverage for only a few dollars. Here are a few good ones: http://www.prweb.com http://businesswire.com http://www.prnewswire.com http://www.free-press-release.com http://www.free-press-release.com http://www.theopenpress.com http://www.prleap.com http://www.openpress.com http://www.pr.com http://openpr.com

Have a good look through these sites; many have articles on how to write a successful Press Release. A well written Press Release will significantly increase your chances of getting visitors to your site.

What about directories? Should I use them?

One of the other ways of getting people to your site is registering to directories. There is every possible type of directory on the Internet. They are comprised of lists of items related to a specific topic – travel directories, used car directories, etc. You will almost certainly find a directory to meet your needs. One good one is Craig's List. This site gets hundreds of thousands of visitors a day and people who list their sites here can get up to 800 visitors a day immediately! Don't stop there though. If you look around the Internet you can actually find services which, for a small fee, will find directories for you and place your details in them. Generally they are not too expensive.

Should I advertise?

Aside from press releases and directories, you can also pay for advertisements that link to your site. Of course that can be very expensive, but there are a number of cheap alternatives currently available. Particularly popular at the moment are 'Pixel Ad' sites. These sites allow you to buy small amounts of adverting that is stuck on a single page. The 'father' of these web sites was Alex Tew's 'MillionDollarHomepage' but there are now scores… A search for 'pixel ad' in Google reveals the following: www.pixeladmall.com www.milliondollarspixel.com www.freepixeladvertising.com

The list goes on and on… and on… and on… and on… and… is likely to continue growing! How do I make my site make money? By now you should have a few people visiting your site, which is a good start. Without them you won't have a chance of generating revenue! But how do you start making money now the visitors are coming? One of the problems with the Internet is that everyone wants, and (because of the history of the Internet - DOT COM Boom, etc.) to some extent expects to become at least a millionaire overnight. Very few people do this (the 'MillionDollarHomePage' mentioned above took 5 months to make Alex Tew his million - I doubt the other sites listed are even close) and you should start small. Think of making a dollar a day as a good start on the way to something better, rather that an outright disaster that makes you think about quitting! In my experience, if your objective is to make a living from a web site, there are ways and means of achieving this, no matter what the subject area of your site or your current circumstances.

Affiliate Marketing Vs Google Adsense Let The Battle Begin

Writen by Scott Patterson

Lately there has been a lot of discussion on how to make tons of money with Google Adsense. In fact, many people are making the claim that Adsense sites can earn a higher revenue then an affiliate-marketing site.

So that brings us to an important question: Which is a better online business – Affiliate-Marketing sites or Google Adsense sites?

Let's explore each one and then find out which online business is better option:

Google Adsense

How do you like the idea of earning m*ney without dealing with customers or answering emails. This is possible when you run a Google Adsense site. With Adsense sites, you can have a virtual passive-income that requires little maintaining. But is this the best option for an online business?

Here are the positives of Google Adsense sites:

• They are perfect for people who run information sites that have no related affiliate product

• You can set it and leave it. With Google Adsense, you can create a content page, and there is little need to update the content.

• Adsense sites are easy to scale. Since they require little upkeep, you can easily create multiple websites that each make a nice income.

Here are the negatives of Google Adsense sites:

• They are not a great long term solution. Instead of getting your visitors to subscribe to a mailing list, you are focusing on getting people to click on ads. Real online businesses concentrate on building assets that can use for long-term growth.

• These sites are dependent on search engines. Most Google Adsense sites make the mistake of depending on search engines for the majority of their traffic. If the SE algorithms change then your income might drop significantly.

Affiliate Marketing

Being an affiliate marketer is great for those who want build a theme site. With this type of business, you can easily create web pages around a topic and get people to buy products through your products. If done correctly, you can easily build a loyal following that will help you make money for years to come.

But can affiliate marketing make you more money then Google Adsense?

Here are the positives of affiliate marketing:

• A great advantage of affiliate-marketing is that you can build a long term business that will bring in a revenue stream for years.

• With affiliate-marketers you need to focus on building an email list. This list is a major asset of your business. Every time you have an offer, you can go to your list and increase your profits.

• Unlike Google Adsense sites, which only concentrates on high paying keywords, an affiliate marketing site can be centered on a topic that you have an interest in.

Here are the negatives of affiliate marketing:

• You have to learn how to write persuasively and get people to purchase the product that you are recommending. For many people this is a difficult skill to learn.

• Each affiliate marketing site requires a lot of effort. You must spend a lot of time writing product reviews, building your email list and creating web content.

So which is better: Affiliate marketing or Google Adsense?

The answer is that both are great solutions for an online business. Instead of choosing one over the other, you should create websites that can take advantage of both.

Here is how you can do this:

1) Create a content site on a topic that you are interest in, while paying a good amount per Adsense click.

2) Integrate your Adsense into the menu bars and the top of your web content.

3) Add web pages for affiliate-products and your opt-in email list. But, make sure that you leave out the Adsense blocks on these pages. This way you are ensuring that you are building your long-term assets.

4) Create optimized web page articles that focus on a specific keyword phrase. Place your Google Adsense in these blocks.

5) Provide your email list with good content and product recommendations. Once in awhile, email your list and provide a link to some of your web articles. That way, you can earn a little bit of m*ney from your subscribers while giving them good content.

By focusing on both affiliate products and Google Adsense, you will be building both short-term and long-term profits.

The more ads (dollars) you click the more money you earn. It is not a scam, it is advertising. The companies or persons that advertise afford to pay people to click on their ads.
