Best Converting Affiliates ...

[Ixix]

in your experience, what is the best converting affiliate? I've got a few affiliate programs i'm promoting right now on my websites, and while the traffic's not spectacular (about roughly 10 uniques a day, 20% from a cheap adwords campaign, rest from natural traffic) i have not made a penny yet...

what programs out there convert well>

The answer would obviously depend on what industry/niche you are targeting. Conversion rates will only be high if your traffic is targeted to the program in question.

Most big affiliate networks will provide this kind of information to you. For example, Commission Junction lists the average EPC (earnings per hundred clicks) that each advertiser generates for its publishers.

I love clickbank. It´s the first time i work with them with nice results: $xxx in a few days, only using pop-exit traffic.

what type of programs are you promoting? pay per sale? pay per lead? pay per lead campaigns typically do well wtih minimal traffic.

clickbank is good
ive made a few hundred in sales this year from a small amount of traffic
you just need to find targeted "products"

Definitely you need to hit target well. If you want to do newspaper advertisement, then promoting ClickBank product will get you nowhere, instead, promote some cj.com stuff. If you want to use PPC, then ClickBank, cj.com, Amazon all work well. If you want to use pop-ups, then definitely Pay Per Lead, others are likely to get you absolutely no commission.

Find a niche affiliate program that is appropriate to your domain. Contact the affiliate program manager, and ask them specific questions, such as:

1. What are the best converting items in your product line?
2. What type of traffic converts the best?
3. What specific products do you think have not been exploited by other affiliates yet ( no competition ) ?
4. What approaches do you suggest to attract the best converting surfers?
5. What keywords should I be focussing on?

My own experience has had amazon and bestbuy/walmart clicks being the highest converting. Partly due to their huge selections of products, coupled with their generally being regarded as price leaders. As well, folks feel secure purchasing from a known quantity, rather than a smaller affiliate.
My worst performing (As a conversion %): Allposters and any/all adult topic links

Adult is also very good. A bunch of adult sponsors are listed here:

The best converting programs are ones that match what your visitors are interested in so it depends alot on your site.

Some affiliates feel that lead based programs convert best because their is no money spent - just a lead form. Many lead based programs however like mortgage and insurance are very competitive.
