| Where
to put the banners- Location is key |
You will definitely want to put your
Affiliate creative somewhere where it will get maximum exposure.
The most obvious place would be the top right corner of your home
page. However, you might not want your home page to start with
a banner to another page. Another place to consider would be the
bottom of your home page. You can also choose to show a smaller
banner at the end of your site navigation menu to the left or
right of your page, we have many sizes, shapes and colors of creatives
to choose from. Finally, don't forget about text links located
in your content; we have seen a high click through rate on these
links and better conversions.

links and banners - An ideal partnership |
Most people on the net are after information,
and not adverts. Banners are everywhere these days, and so are
often missed. There are things you can do to help click through
rates.
Top Tip: Combining banners with text
links, integrated into the main areas of your site will really
do the business. Often the banner will catch a visitors eye and
additional text links will encourage a click. We offer you text
links and banners, to help improve your sales. Text recommendations
also work. Give it a try.
|
| Variety
is the spice of life |
Once the banners are in place the sales
will start rolling in. The banners will be automatically updated
on a regular basis, removing the need for any maintenance at your
end, giving you more time to do the important things in life.
We do recommend that you try some different approaches to see
what work best.
|
| Over
the top |
| You want to make sales, and you want
to keep visitors on your site. Not a problem!
Add the [target="_blank"] code to your banners so
that the link is opened in a new browser window, keeping your
site open behind.
Example before:
<a href= http://www.affiliatelink.com/sub/affcode.html ><img
src= http://www.affiliatelink.com/images/image.gif border="0"
width="120" height="600"></a>
Example after:
<a href= http://www.affiliatelink.com/sub/affcode.html target="_BLANK"><img
src= http://www.affiliatelink.com/images/image.gif border="0"
width="120” height='600'></a>

Each search engine has its own rules and their own way to rank
sites. There is also a large range in how soon you can expect
to see your site indexed. Your site may appear in the search
engines index a few days after your submission or, it may take
several months. Be patient and periodically resubmit your Web
site if you find that it is not being indexed.
Also, be sure to use descriptive titles and descriptions full
of important keywords when you submit your site to help improve
your rankings.

| The
best of the rest |
Banner exchange services and link exchange
services can help improve the popularity of your site. Be careful
though who you link to. Have a look at Google's and Yahoo! recommendations
to see what they consider as unacceptable.
Classified ads and comparison sites. Have a look around and
submit yourself to these sites. Traffic from these sources is
often good.
Newsgroups and mailing lists can be a good, relevant place
to find your visitors. Just try to avoid spamming, and don't
use your primary email address as you will be liable to get
spam back.
Forums and info sites. Get out there and see what other people
are doing. Sign up to the most relevant forums and soak up the
advice which is on offer.
For any specific advice, use the affiliate
contact form, and we'll do our best to give you a suitable
answer.
Best of Luck and Great Selling!
