Affiliate Templates / Placements / etc.

08-24-2009, 07:14 AM

Hey everyone trying to brush up on my knowledge for affiliate marketing and how to place my banners and such. I have read that it is best to just use one banner as it will increase the profit per click. Is this true?

I am also wondering perhaps what your best revenue generating template/designs look like.

Anyone have any advice on banner placement.

The biggest consensus I seem to see is to use a wide rectangle banner that is blended in with your content.

Any other advice out there for an affiliate newb?

Successful affiliate marketing isn't so much about placing banners as it is about helping your visitors make a purchasing decision. Just tossing up a banner on a page isn't the best way to go about it. It doesn't matter how many people click through, what matters is how many of them complete an action (like make a purchase) once they get there.

Why not hop onto a couple of the affiliate forums and read up a bit?

This is not the case with affiliate banners. It is referred to CPC i.e. cost per click and that will be in the case if you're serving ads of google adsense or any other such program.

Right, I understand that. Affiliates are always a standard rate/commission. But with Google Ads having one banner really does increase your CPC? That is good to know.

Text links in the body of your content - related to the content, converts better than banners.
