Affiliate marketing is a great money making machine online. You could either take the approach of setting up your own website with your own domain and hosting. Or you could promote products on your niche blog. These are only two examples. There are tons of other ways to promote affiliate products, but we won’t get into that right now. whichever way you choose you can sell products as an affiliate. If you’re not familiar with affiliate marketing it’s when a company wants to expand their sales by letting other people pre-sell their product. If there’s a sale, then they give the affiliate a commission.

Being an affiliate marketer online is great because you don’t have to have any products on hand, or deal with customer service. Affiliate marketing has brought many people to wealth. Especially with information products (also known as ebooks). There are great affiliate managers out there. All you have to do is sign up, and they’ll give you a personalized link to keep track of your visitors and sales. Then all you do is whenever you post on your blog, or write about relevant topics you promote the product with the affiliate link.

Now with affiliate marketing becoming popular, people know that others make money off the links that they click from your site. These people then type in the link without using the affiliate link. I think it’s ridiculous, and have no clue why anyone has a problem with others monetizing off your clicks to a product that they’re going to buy anyways. It’s not like it’s going to cost them anymore money. You provided them with the information, and resources of the product, why not give you some credit. There’s a way around this. It’s a method of hiding your affiliate link. You can only use this method if you are using your own hosting. Here’s how you do it. In your file manager, create a new html page. Name it relevant to your product that you’re promoting. Now in the file use the coding from the following website.

Hiding Your Affiliate Link

After you copied the code into the html file (and edited the link to your own affiliate link), you’ll want to save it like it is, as an html file. All that this code does is when someone types in your personalized address the coding in the html file tells people “Go to this page. We’ll redirect you to this affiliate link.” That’s exactly what it does too. It redirects them to your affiliate link. Whenever someone clicks on the link they won’t know it’s an affiliate link, but when they reach the product page it will most likely change the affiliate link to the original domain. Now of course they could go in their internet files, and delete their cookie files (that’s how affiliate managers keep track of your visitors), but there’s no way of stopping these people. It’s not worth the time worrying about people who are going to take out your affiliate link or cookie from their computer, because these people planned to give you nothing in the first place, and that’s all you’ll get from them. It’s best to be optimistic on the people who are going to use your affiliate link, and bring you a commission.

Pay Per Click advertising has been gaining a lot of popularity lately. For those of you who don’t know what pay per click advertising is it’s when you put your ad on a search engines for different keywords that you pick and choose. When someone searches for one of the keywords or keyphrases that you have chosen for your ad to appear on it will show your ad to the right of the page.

Now you might be asking yourself “Why should you use it when there’s so many other sources of traffic out there?” It’s simple - it’s because with pay per click advertising whenever someone searches for your keyword, your ad appears at the exact moment that they search (if you pay high enough). So that means that more people are going to be clicking. It is the fastest way on the internet to get targeted traffic to your website.

Not only is it targeted traffic to your website. It’s the most targeted traffic that you can get on the internet. People find your ads by searching for relevant keywords that you pick and choose. If you have a website about ‘How To Train Your Dog’ then you would put keywords relating to this such as ‘train your dog’, ‘how to train a dog’, and so on. Your ads only appear on the pages you choose it to. So you won’t be getting any unwanted, untargeted clicks.

This is my favourite thing about PPC advertising - If you just launched your website (a monetized website), and you want to know how well it will convert then PPC is your exact answer. It’s your exact answer because it will give you a true picture of how well your website converts visitors into dollars. If you start using PPC advertising, and after so many click throughs you don’t receive any sales you will know that you need to change the site to make it convert.

You can also use PPC advertising for quick sign ups to your newsletter. I started using PPC to get signups for my mini- course, and the conversion rates were astounding. Almost 50% conversion rate. All I did was create a page with just the sign up form, and sent the PPC traffic directly to the page. PPC is the sure answer to get quick targeted traffic to your website.

You open your favourite article site..

You see an amazing article title that lures you in…

You read the first paragraph…

You start to read the second paragraph, and your eyes start to close. You start to daze off, and hit the back button.

Why does this happen? This happens because some people think when they have an amazing headline (although that is very important), that the information in the article itself can just ramble on, and the person will click on the link in the resource box.

Nope.

How is the person going to want to click on the link when they didn’t even finish reading the article. People click on the links because they want to know more! If you have interesting content, they’ll want to visit your website. So, when writing an article don’t just ramble on. Make the content useful and interesting and you will see a lot more clickthroughs.
