Three Golden Rules for Making Money with Affiliate Pages

Posted by admin On October - 28 - 2009

Affiliate TipsOne side has the number of users X Y Z and the topic – how to make it the most money? I’d try to list some Do’s and don’ts. In sharp contrast to the picture in the blog post, it was enough for me, unfortunately, only three rules for …

If you have a page about video cards, and then binds to the advertising theme “cards a” not on “Computer”! Nothing is worse than showing irrelevant ads. Here comes the (unfortunately already) away much of Merchants, which simply do not get it done, to provide suitable promotional tools for their websites. A little tip: If it’s worth, then simply build its own advertising – of course in consultation with the Merchant. Often, they also build for you your own banners, if their inquires.

Main rule: Relevance!

If you have a page about video cards, then binds to the advertising theme “cards a” not on “Computer”! Nothing is worse than showing irrelevant ads. Here comes the (unfortunately already) away much of Merchants, which simply do not get it done, to provide suitable promotional tools for their websites. A little tip: If it’s worth, then simply build its own advertising – of course in consultation with the Merchant. Often, they also build for you your own banners, if their inquires.

Just check the currently most successful companies on the web: Google is working with Relevance (Adsense, Adwords,) the normal search results. Google would be nothing without relevance! Other examples include the success of Wikipedia (relevant articles), gutefrage) (relevant issues), the Amazon affiliate (relevant advertising, and many more. The more relevant your ads are, the more you will earn. On a base on “high-end graphics cards” should, ideally, only advertising for “high-end video cards” are available. Relevant enough, there really never – you can get more and more irrelevant.

Second rule: The Right Merchant

Choosing the right Merchants is a highly complex subject. Questions I ask myself regularly, are approximately:

* What is the conversion rate of the Merchants (approximately)
* If the merchant known and enjoys a high trust among users?
* What kind of tracking to the Merchant (Cookie-tracking, session tracking, Cookieless tracking)?
* How long is the average conversion time? Especially important is to be used in connection with the question of whether cookies.
* How big is the average shopping basket?
* What is the Merchant bind the top SEO Affiliate? Have these premium rates?
* How reliable is the Merchant from affiliates?
* Is there a direct affiliate without a network?
* Sales are tracked properly? Test orders do!
* On which networks of Merchant is notified?
* Which promotion is available to the Merchant? Which of these are konversionstark?
* You realize that the Merchant affiliate marketing is important or it is just a channel that was opened in 2001 and still has the same ads?
* How quickly the merchant responds with questions?
* How to respond dynamically to the Merchant in relation to suggestions and new ideas?
* How many sales will be canceled when they will be canceled and the cancellation rate realistic?

These are just a few questions, and thus most of the seven Merchants yourself.

Third rule build: Conversion Oriented Websites

On your side, people need to be animated to click on Werbmittel. This does not work by adding a banner in your website! Provides an overview of different offers and cancels out the top thereof. You need the confidence of the user. Ideally, he clicks on the advertising material and then immediately makes the “Buy” button, because he has experienced on your side everything worth knowing. He must already have an intent to purchase, the more concrete the better. Bewerbt therefore, not graphics cards in general, but some products! I want to buy me not a “car” but a “Jaguar”, “BMW” or “fiat.” If someone told me then, how does a car, it does not interest me! I want to know whether the Jaguar X Jaguar is better than the Y and how these two are compared to a BMW X and a total for a purchase if they are worth.

Statistics are for super. Keep the whole thing as simple as possible. No one reads all the novels, but people want to be informed and concise. Using beams asterisk percentage points scores – or simply bright colors.

Amazon PartnerNet:

* High conversion rate
* High trust among users
* Session Tracking: No wastage through Postview
* Low persistency
* Great Advertising
* Support for standard affiliate not great
* SEM tracking works only partially
* Permits an on legal problems in the lurch

Already I have a better idea of whether I want to have the product or me as an affiliate then sign. The user then either click on the advertising, or (if the test him / summary liked) clicks on your website another article. It is important that it should ideally leave your side until he has unsheathed the credit card or will definitely do the conversion. Therefore, it is also unnecessary to fool the user something: You need confidence and do not get it, if ye behaving like a used car dealer. Offers the user the best deal and he will buy it!

The Opportunities to Earn Money With Blogs

Posted by admin On October - 25 - 2009

make money onlineIn the following I would like to introduce 9 direct and indirect revenue opportunities to earn money with blogs and also mention, for who are the sources of revenue and what conditions are necessary.

  1. Pay per Click
    The best opportunities to earn money with blog known is certainly Google AdSense.

    Pay per click ads are very easy to install. Moreover optimize itself based on the surrounding text.

    One should optimize those ads anyway, by testing different positions and optical variations.

    This resource is ideal for beginners, but they already have some traffic.

  2. Paid Posts
    Quite popular with bloggers are paid article. It also writes a blog post about a certain theme or eg on a particular site and will be paid for it.

    The Swiss of Trigami are the largest German provider of paid posts. Other vendors are e.g. Hallimash, Blogpay and ReviewMe.

    One can of course also sell items directly paid, but should be generally very cautious, because you can gamble with too much obvious joy airs confidence in his readers.

    Paid items are suitable even for small blogs with not much traffic, but a clear target audience. How to get as many write contracts and how to fulfill this explains the three-part article series, “more money through paid posts”

  3. Link Sales
    Google the link sales are seen not so much. Finally, the Google ranking is based on key parts of the backlinks of a website. And then of course you want to include links only honest set.

    So everyone must decide for himself whether he wants to sell links or not. PageRank reductions or even the loss of positions in the ranking in Google can be the result.

    Selling text links are a very simple and lucrative source of income and suppliers such as Teliad Linklift and liaise with advertisers, if desired, anonymously.

    The sale of links is worthwhile in general only after a PageRank of 3 or more.

  4. Affiliate Marketing
    If you have a very specific audience with information supplied in your own blog, and himself already attained a degree of confidence, affiliate marketing can work very well.

    Affiliate marketing works especially well with recommendations as quickly and can make the pay-per-click revenue in the shade. However, it is also an art to find the right partner and to incorporate.

    Affiliate marketing is particularly suitable for bloggers who have acquired a degree of trust and whose recommendations will be appreciated by others. Thematically, too, has an affiliate program is usually a very good fit.

    The best way to rummaging in the known affiliate networks like Zanox, Junction, Belboon Superclix AdCell or for suitable programs and test them out.

    An interesting vendor is Bee5.de. There has been, even without a separate application, access to more than 3,000 partner programs.

    Even here, however, is that you can destroy the confidence of his readers very quickly with poor recommendations.

  5. Banners
    Advertising banners work normally after the CPT-billing. We thus get a sum per 1,000 Advertisement X. This amount is negotiable and depends mostly on supply and demand.

    The even sell ad space, with no middlemen, are my most lucrative source of income. After you get a certain range and developed a name in a niche, then it can be very lucrative to sell direct advertising.

    Alternatively, you can also subscribe banner networks, which will give advertisers. There is for example AdShopping.de, or AdScale.de AdJug.de.

    It gives a certain number of page views, usually 100,000 + per month, even advertising networks that provide only such larger blogs and websites. But then you usually get very good offers.

    In a three-part series of articles I described how to sell advertising in their own best blog. It deals among other things, the question “At what point it is worthwhile to offer ad space?”, “How do I set the price?”, “How do I get advertisers?” Etc.

    Besides the classic banner ads, there are also layers and other annoying forms of advertising, of which I let my hands.

    Moreover, it is now possible advertising in their own videos or podcasts to sell.

  6. Own products Sell
    They have made a name for himself and is ideally be an expert in a particular field, one can also think of selling their own products. This can be eBooks, DVDs, software, or even paid seminars.

    Develop your own product but can be very expensive (outsourcing is a keyword), but it also includes the revenue to 100% you.

  7. Services / Consulting
    Not every blog is suitable for direct revenue. Many bloggers, however, generate very good indirect revenues, divided by your blog for example, consulting contracts, or come to offer other services.

    Through the very personal nature of a blog and the opportunity to present itself with a blog as an expert on a particular topic, it is not uncommon for bloggers to market their services successfully.

  8. Paid content
    Membership sites are in Germany is still the exception. In other countries, however, there are many examples of paid content, which are well received.

    Here, too, just a blog can be very helpful, because trust is one of them to paid content. Nobody wants to buy a pig in a poke, so that a good name here works wonders.

    If you rectal customer gained for such a service, including paid content, with their regular fees, but among the top sources of income.

  9. Blog for sale
    Last but not least, of course, is also possible to build a blog to sell it then. Or you buy an existing blog to improve it and sell it profitably.

    This is obviously an issue for him. But on the question “What is worth my blog?” Could spend hours discussing. However, there are specialists who have specialized in this buying and selling of blogs and websites.

Tips and tricks for monetization

As you can see, there are a number of ways to make money with a blog.
However, this is usually not alone. One should learn about the experiences of others, but also accumulate experience itself. Since each of the unique circumstances of a blog are also very important, you should try more to find the optimal solution for itself.

Most blogs do well to concentrate to 2-3 sources of revenue and optimize them.
It is important to know what you observe in the individual sources of revenue must be to identify what those conditions and what the advantages and disadvantages.
