Web Two Point Uh-Oh: Life in a syndicated world
Were Internet advertising like wines, then Vintage 2004 would be considered a good year. The drought that plagued the online ad market for most of 2000 through the end of 2002 is now just a blip on the radar, a slight false start, not...
A Rebuttal in Favor of Ad Networks

Search is Losing Steam
As users become more familiar with their favorite sites, it logically follows that they will have less and less use for a search engine. In fact, comScore’s 4th quarter 2005 survey found that it was the first quarter since this data has been...

"Starbucks-China" Blend: A Slam Dunk Grande
Admittedly, there are few genuine “can’t miss” propositions. But I’ve got one for you, Starbucks in China. Giant corporations being granted carte blanche in a totalitarian environment are reminiscent of an age when kings granted...

Affiliate Tip of The Week |

The capabilities of social media advertising seem to grow almost daily.
For example, Facebook just launched some great new tools that allow you to target thousands of additional cities with your ads.
Staying on top of the latest advertising tool updates may be a challenge, but it can have a real impact on the success of your campaigns.

Last week I suggested you "get out there", network and meet your potential affiliates.
While networking, be genuine.
People like to do business with people they like, and nobody likes a pretender. Most people can spot a faker and will run in the other direction. Be yourself. Being authentic will leave a lasting impression and people will want to work with you.

Facebook and other social networking sites are great traffic sources. Most allow you to target specific demos and user interests, and don’t just limit your traffic to the United States.
Internationally social network traffic is a huge opportunity with less competition and, in most cases, less restrictions on what campaigns you can promote.

As an affiliate, don't fall victim to banner blindness.
See which offers are being promoted most on websites, social media sites, etc. If you keep seeing the same offer over and over again, it's likely to be a successful campaign. If a particular offer fits within your niche, or even if you feel like testing something new, visit a site such as Offervault to see which networks have the best rates and go from there!

With the current economic state budgeting is key. But remember, be realistic
yet flexible. A sensible budget allows you to spend on testing offers, but
allows you to save at the same time.

Be careful who you trust in life and in business.
Our industry is abundant with money hungry and short sighted individuals who often times will sell anyone and anything out to get a quick buck.
Make sure you know who you put your trust in when it comes to your business. After all it only takes 1 bad seed to ruin a good thing!

Listen to your publishers' feedback.
When your publishers give you suggestions on how to make a campaign perform better, take those into consideration and see what you can do with them.
Not only will this help to build your relationship and credibility with those publishers, it will also keep you on your toes and give you insight into what works well and what doesn’t for others in the space.

Consistently communicate with your publishers regarding reporting and tools they would need to have available to make their advertising more successful. Depending on whether your publishers are posting leads to you or sending you direct traffic, allow them to have more transparency in terms of what's been purchased by your advertisers and why. The more information is sent out there, the better ROIs for all parties.

Keep an eye out for sites with user-generated content.
These would include review sites, forums, etc. Placements with these sites convert well and placing there is a great way to reach an audience interested in a particular product or service. The number of these sites in the affiliate space grows all the time.

“March is here! Have you sent the March Madness creatives to your affiliates?
Stay on top of seasonal trends and keep your affiliates informed of what’s available to them; they will thank you.”

Its certainly proven that if you make calls to follow up with your prospects, as opposed to generic email blasts or even personal mass emails, your close ratio will almost always be higher.
As we all know, sales is a two way relationship and must be carried out and engaged with a personal touch to have any effectiveness. No automated tool or functionality can ever replace a live human's voice on the other line :)

To be a successful entrepreneur, you have to be comfortable in
your decision-making.
This means you have to try to acquire as much knowledge as possible from a variety of sources, while surrounding yourself with experienced people whom you trust.
You want to be sure that if you need to know something, you
can get the answer quickly.

"Beware the ides of March!
Not like Caesar should have been aware, but be aware that traffic will pick up.
There will be seasonal spikes from St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) and Easter (April 4th). You need to have those campaigns up before the ides of March are upon us."

Don’t just stick to one offer - If an offer is working for you try others in the same vertical and see if they convert better for your data.
