The Seo blog

There are thousands of affiliate partners you can chose from and you might also be wondering which is the best for you. In other words which one is the best choice so that you can make money fast. First things first, there is no way that it will happen fast ! I have tested and tested and tested… And I always go back to the established and more well known programs.

My conclusion is that a combination of 3+ affiliate partners will give you an excellent mix of ad types and all these products adjust well to your page contents.

1.) Adsense - Image only setting gives your website a more professional look and commonly leads to more clicks even though the images do not adjust as well as text ads would. A maximum of 3 blocks are allowed by Google so top, side and middle will be your best choice to place them.

2.) Amazon - Image and text link block in your side bar. I have also used a nice tag cloud in one of my blogs that adjusts well to contents and fills some empty space.

3.) Kontera - Contents links. Kontera scans the contents of each page and converts some of the regular text into links. If your visitor hovers over the link a small pop up window will include a click able link similar to Adsense. Really nice design and really doesn’t annoy which is also an advantage.

4.) CJ - Commission Junction is also a very good program and simple to work with. I don’t use it to much because it does involve more work than Google, Kontera or Amazon.

Affiliate marketing is similar to network marketing, in the sense that you will be promoting a product produced by another company or person. This can obviously make life very simple for you, as the merchant will usually take care of all shipping and customer support issues. Amazon.com is probably one of the most well known (an respected) companies utilizing the power of affiliate partnerships.

As an affiliate, your task is simply to refer new clients to the merchant and when these people go ahead and buy something, you get credited with a certain percentage of the sale.

Contrary to network marketing it is generally free to act as an affiliate marketer. Although there are certain companies that have sort of a hybrid structure between network and affiliate marketing - requiring you to pay a start-up and/or monthly fee to market their products. Most affiliate programs are completely free to join though, so I’d personally stay away from those using their affiliate programs as an income generator in it’s own right, or “affiliate sharks” as one marketer aptly named them.

Affiliate programs are thus a great way in which almost anyone can start to make money online, without having to invest a lot of money, if indeed any at all.

There is however certain strategies and marketing methods you need to be knowledgeable of, if you are to make anything but peanuts with your affiliate marketing.

Choosing the right affiliate program and promoting it to the right people in the right way is an art form in it’s own right. And the people who are really good at this, generally referred to as “super affiliates“, make a very good living doing nothing else than selling other people’s products.

If you are looking to make an additional income from the Internet, or eventually even replace your current income altogether, affiliate marketing is a great way to get started. To achieve the success you desire, you should study and learn the same techniques super affiliates use on a day to day basis.
