Featured Article
So Many Affiliate Programs! Which One Do I Choose?
Ask questions first before you join an affiliate program.
Do a little research about the choices of program that you
intend to join into. Get some answers because they will be
the deciding point of what you will be achieving later on.
Will it cost you anything to join? Most affiliate programs
being offered today are absolutely free of charge. So why
settle for those that charge you some dollars before
joining.
When do they issue the commission checks? Every program is
different. Some issue their checks once a month, every
quarter,
etc. Select the one that is suited to your payment time
choice.
Many affiliate programs are setting a minimum earned
commission
amount that an affiliate must meet or exceed in order for
their
checks to be issued.
What is the hit per sale ratio? This is the average number
of hits to a banner or text link it takes to generate a sale
based on all affiliate statistics. This factor is extremely
important because this will tell you how much traffic you
must
generate before you can earn a commission from the sale.
How are referrals from an affiliate’s site tracked and for
how
long do they remain in the system? You need to be confident
on
the program enough to track those people you refer from your
site.
This is the only way that you can credit for a sale. The
period of
time that those people stay in the system is also important.
This
is because some visitors do not buy initially but may want
to return
later to make the purchase. Know if you will still get
credit for the
sale if it is done some months from a certain day.
What are the kinds of affiliate stats available? Your choice
of
affiliate program should be capable of offering detailed
stats.
They should be available online anytime you decide to check
them
out. Constantly checking your individual stats is important
to know
how many impressions, hits and sales are already generated
from your
site. Impressions are the number of times the banner or text
link was
viewed by a visitor of your site. A hit is the one clicking
on the
banner or text links.
Does the affiliate program also pay for the hits and
impressions
besides the commissions on sales? It is important that
impressions
and hits are also paid, as this will add to the earnings you
get
from the sales commission. This is especially important if
the
program you are in offers low sales to be able to hit ratio.
Who is the online retailer? Find out whom you are doing
business
with to know if it is really a solid company. Know the
products
they are selling and the average amount they are achieving.
The more you know about the retailer offering you the
affiliate
program, the easier it will be for you to know if that
program
is really for you and your site.
Is the affiliate a one tier or two tier program? A single
tier
program pays you only for the business you yourself have
generated.
A two tier program pays you for the business, plus it also
pays you
a commission on the on the sales generated by any affiliate
you
sponsor in your program. Some two-tier programs are even
paying
small fees on each new affiliate you sponsor.
More like a recruitment fee.
Lastly, what is the amount of commission paid? 5% - 20% is
the
commission paid by most programs. .01% - .05% is the amount
paid
for each hit. If you find a program that also pays for
impressions,
the amount paid is not much at all. As you can see from the
figures,
you will now understand why the average sales amount and hit
to sale
ratio is important.
These are just some of the questions that needed answering
first
before you enter into an affiliate program. You should be
familiar
with the many important aspects that your chosen program
should have
before incorporating them into your website. Try to ask your
affiliate
program choices these questions. These can help you select
the right
program for you site from among the many available.

Positive Quotes
The most important thing I have learned over the years
is the difference between taking one's work seriously
and taking one's self seriously. The first is imperative,
and the second disastrous.
-- Margaret Fontey
and
Time and money spent in helping men do more for themselves
is far better than mere giving.
n Henry Ford (1863-1947) American Industrialist

Good Morning Jan!
Hope you and family enjoyed a grand Thanksgiving Day.
We certainly did.
I get PC Pitstop newsletter and a link to this article
was contained in it.
After I read it, I thought you and
anyone using some of the social networks would be interested
in the scam alert if you already don't know about it.
Take care. How is
the kitchen remodeling project coming along?
Don't argue with idiots....
people watching may not be able to tell the difference!
Best wishes always in all ways!

>hi, Faye, thanks for sharing and I will pass it on.

That is wonderful! God bless them and all those who helped
make
it possible. Now let's hope the major storms are over!
Of course winter is approaching or has arrived in your area,
so pray you keep safe!
