Refresh your affiliate program links to show you mean business
| Category: Affiliate Marketing - Development | Date: 2003-04-28 |
A poorly designed website, text misspellings, "over the top" promotion techniques (ex: "MAKE $$$$$$ NOW!!!!), etc., are all major turn offs, and it will show in your click through to purchase ratio,if you manage to get them to your site at all.
This META REFRESH tip will help you get them there, associating the link with your site, giving potential customers the impression that it is unique (after that, its up to you!).
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must be able to upload files to your sites server.
When you are assigned an affiliate link from a program provider, it is often very long, and generic in appearance. Using the following technique will change that:
Copy and paste the following code (change ( to < and ) to >), into an HTML editor and save it to your web server as whateveryoulike.html .
(HTML)(HEAD)(TITLE)YourAffiliateProgramTitle(/TITLE)
(META http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url="http://YourAffiliateProgramsURL")
(/HEAD)(BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF")(/BODY)(/HTML)
After you save this as whateveryoulike.html, and upload the file to your server, you will be able to link to the program with this URL:
www.Yourdomain.com/whateveryoulike.html
This will help raise your campaign a notch above the other affiliates using the traditional methods.
Another benefit to using this technique is the ability to track your ads. You can save your page as whateveryoulike1.html, whateveryoulike2.html, etc., giving each campaign a different promotion code, and enabling you to find out which one is drawing the best responses. Making each ad your own is an important part of generating a positive web presence.
Using these techniques, and writing your own ad text in preference to the that which the provider has generated for you, are important steps to a successful campaign.
