How Not To Set Up An Affiliate Program

I get really annoyed when I find a great piece of software, book or product which has an affiliate program however the company makes it nearly impossible to find it.

In having just wasted a good hour or more searching for affiliate sign up information for a piece of software, here are some tips on what you should do to make sure that potential affiliates can find your affiliate information easily.

1. Always have a separate affiliate information page. Even if this page is not linked to your index page people who are interested in becoming your affiliate can find the details by conducting a simple search on one of the major search engines.

2. If your affiliate program runs through Clickbank still have a separate page showing affiliates how to set up their Clickbank affiliate (hop) link. Why? Clickbanks search feature is hopeless and it’s saves the affiliate having to search through dozens of pages of products.

  • Forums
  • MySQL databases
  • Statistics
  • And the list goes on…

The guide is not about marketing online, it simply states the steps to get your site built and put it on the web.

Stompernet Site Seer – Nothing New Here

I have a lot of respect for the guys over at Stompernet as they are some of the best marketing talents online. However I must say that their new free tool ‘site seer’ is pretty much a let down.

Most of the on page optimization is a tutorial which can be gained at thousands of places online and not specific to your own site.

The rest of the search engine information can be gained by using dozens of free tools some of which give much better and more precise information.

If you are an absolute newbie, some of this information may be very helpful however there is very little instruction if any on what your next steps may be.
