Here’s How To Avoid The 3 Most Common Affiliate Mistakes

Affiliate marketing is one of the most effective and powerful ways of earning some money online. This program gives everybody a chance to make a profit through the Internet. Since these affiliate marketing programs are easy to join, implement and pays a commission on a regular basis, more an more people are now willing in this business.

However, like all businesses, there are lots of pitfalls in the affiliate marketing business. Committing some of the most common mistakes will cost the marketers a large portion taken from the profit they are making everyday. That is why it is better to avoid them than be regretful in the end.

Mistake number 1: Choosing the wrong affiliate.

Many people want to earn from affiliate marketing as fast as possible. In their rush to be part of one, they tend to choose a bandwagon product. This is the kind of products that the program thinks is “hot”. They choose the product that is in demand without actually considering if the product appeals to them. This is not a very wise move obviously.

Instead of jumping on the bandwagon, try top choose a product in which you are truly interested in. For any endeavor to succeed, you should take some time to plan and figure out your actions.

Pick a product that appeals to you. Then do some research about that product to see if they are in demand. Promoting a product you are more passionate about is easier than promoting one for the sake of the earnings only.

Mistake number 2: Joining too many affiliate programs.

Since affiliate programs are very easy to join, you might be tempted to join multiples of affiliate programs to try and maximize the earnings you will be getting. Besides you may think that there is nothing wrong and nothing to lose by being part of many affiliate programs.

True, that is a great way to have multiple sources of income. However, joining multiple programs and attempting to promote them all at the same time will prevent you from concentrating on each one of them.

The result? The maximum potential of your affiliate program is not realized and the income generated will not exactly be as huge as you were thinking initially it would. The best way to get excellent result is by joining just one program that pays a 40% commission at least. Then give it your best effort by promoting your products enthusiastically. As soon as you see that it is already making a reasonable profit, then maybe you can now join another affiliate program.

The technique is to do it slowly but surely. There is really no need to rush into things, especially with affiliate marketing. With the way things are going, the future is looking real bright and it seems affiliate marketing will be staying for a long time too.

Mistake number 3: Not buying the product or using the service.

As an affiliate, you main purpose is to effectively and convincingly promote a product or service and to find customers. For you to achieve this purpose, you must be able to relay to the customers that certain product and service. It is therefore difficult for you to do this when you yourself have not tried these things out. Thus, you will fail to promote and recommend them convincingly. You will also fail to create a desire in your customers to avail any of what you are offering.

Try the product or service personally first before you sign up as an affiliate to see if it is really delivering what it promises. If you have done so, then you are one of the credible and living testaments aware of its advantages and disadvantages. Your customers will then feel the sincerity and truthfulness in you and this will trigger them to try them out for themselves.

Many affiliate marketers makes these mistakes and are paying dearly for their actions. To not fall into the same situation they have been in, try to do everything to avoid making the same mistakes.

Time is the key. Take the time to analyze your marketing strategy and check if youa re in the right track. If done properly, you will be able to maximize your affiliate marketing program and earn higher profits.

PPC search engines are constantly looking for new ways to improve their services — and your results. After all, they WANT you to keep purchasing advertising from them (not their competitors).

Here’s an overview of some great tools they’re offering to help you better target your ads and keep your campaign costs
down:

1. KEYWORD MATCHING OPTIONS
(Offered by Google AdWords, Overture and MSN )

Overture and Google AdWords both offer options that allow you to fine-tune the way your keyword is matched to the phrases people type into their engines.

Their options differ slightly, but here’s a rough breakdown:

- EXACT MATCH: A listing is triggered by the exact keyword
phrase and nothing else. Example: “fishing rods” will match
“fishing rods” but not “fancy fishing rods.”

- PHRASE MATCH: A listing is triggered by the keyword phrase
as it is written, though it might be included with other
terms as well. Example: “fishing rods” will match “antique
fishing rods and reels” but not “rods fishing.”

- BROAD MATCH: A listing is triggered by the keyword phrase
or slight variations of it, even if the words are out of
order or separated by other words. Example: “fishing rods”
will match “Rod’s Alaskan Fishing Adventure” and possibly
even “Rod’s Fish & Chips.”

[WARNING: The Broad Match option can work well for highly
specific queries, such as brand names or serial numbers,
but can result in a lot of poorly targeted click-throughs
for general terms — especially terms that have more than
one meaning, such as “dolly,” “tackle,” or “nails.”]

- NEGATIVE MATCH: When words identified as “negatives” are
typed into the search engine along with the keyword phrase,
the listing will not appear. Example: “fishing rods  cheap”
will match “fishing rods and tackle” but not “cheap fishing
rods.”

2. CONTEXTUAL TARGETING

Contextual targeting places your PPC listing on web sites where the content somehow relates to your ad. Obviously, this can be a great way to increase the exposure of your ad.

However, if you decide to try contextual targeting, be sure to monitor where your ads are being placed, because the effectiveness of contextual targeting can vary widely. Your ads may end up featured on web sites that have little to do with your advertisement — and therefore attract unqualified click-throughs.

For example, a recent USnews.com article about starting a business had a series of “Hermosa Beach Vacation” Google Ads listed beside it — because the first person interviewed in the story happened to live in Hermosa Beach!

These wasted clicks can quickly drain your bank account if you aren’t careful.

3. GEOTARGETING
(Offered by Overture and Google AdWords)

“Geotargeting” allows you to choose which countries or
geographic regions your ads appear in. This feature is best
suited for businesses that offer local services or products
that are useful only in specific regions.

For example, if you’re a landscaper who lives in Washington
state, you probably don’t want to pay for click-throughs from
out-of-area visitors. After all, Texas-area residents aren’t
likely to request your services!

4. DAY PARTING
(Offered by Kanoodle)

Right now, Kanoodle is the only search engine we know that
offers this option. “Day parting” allows you to choose the
time of day your ads will appear in different regions, so
they’re only available during “prime viewing times.”

For example, if your market testing shows that most people
click on your ads to make a purchase in the early evening,
you can make sure that your ads only appear at that time in
the different regions where your potential customers live.

5. KEYWORD RESEARCH TOOLS
(Offered by Overture, Google AdWords, FindWhat,Kanoodle,
LookSmart, Enhance Interactive)

The most popular keyword phrases are always the most expensive.
Keyword research tools help you find common variations and
misspellings of the more popular keywords so you can keep
costs down while still generating traffic.

More sophisticated keyword research tools let you see how much
you need to bid to achieve a particular ranking (i.e. the
#1 spot, the #7 spot, etc.) prior to finalizing your bid.
They may also provide you with traffic estimates for the
different keywords and phrases you bid on.

6. MULTIPLE ADS FOR THE SAME KEYWORD
(Offered by Google AdWords)

Google AdWords allows you to “split-test” different ads for
the same keyword so you can see which ad attracts the most
paying customers.

This can save you a lot of time, and enables you to make sure
your ads will yield the highest possible return on your
investment.

7. “AUTOBID” SOFTWARE
(Offered by Overture, Google AdWords, FindWhat, Kanoodle,
LookSmart, and Enhance Interactive)

“Autobid” software is a bid management program that tracks
the bidding activity on your different keywords and
automatically adjusts your bidding amount so that you can
maintain your ranking.

The more sophisticated bid management programs allow you to
“cap” your bids so that you never spend more than you want.

They also eliminate “bid gaps” that occur when the bidder
below your listing drops their bid — your bid is
automatically reduced so that you maintain your position
without spending more per click than necessary.

Final Thoughts

——————

If you haven’t tried a PPC search engine campaign yet, I’d
recommend doing it soon. There are still tons of cheap,
targeted keywords waiting for your bids — but they may not
be around much longer.

More and more online businesses are realizing that — done
right — a PPC campaign can be a fabulous source of cheap,
instant, highly qualified traffic.

The best advice I can give you is this:

- Bid on lots of cheap, targeted keywords and phrases,
including misspellings — and avoid the expensive general
words that everyone is bidding on.

- Never bid more per click than what a single visitor is worth
to your site — it’s the best way to make sure your ads
remain profitable.

- Get listed in the “other” PPC search engines — you may be
able to bid on popular terms you can’t afford in Overture
and Google AdWords.

- Whenever possible, get ranked in the top 3 listings in
Overture and Google AdWords — these ads appear on an
extensive network of sites (including Yahoo!, MSN,
AltaVista, Excite, and more!) and can reach up to 80% of
all active Internet users, so you get more bang for your
buck!

- Target your ads as much as possible. Write “custom” ads for
each keyword and use the various bid management and
targeting tools offered by the different PPC search engines
to reduce your costs and increase your clicks.

- Design your landing pages so they convert qualified visitors
to buyers. If your ads promise “cat toys with bells,” make
sure they actually direct visitors to a page where it’s easy
for them to buy these items!

[ Ed Keay-Smith
AdWords Marketing]

A lot of people think the only way to develop a successful pay-per-click campaign is to get the highest ranking with a popular keyword in the top two PPC search engines, Overture
(http://www.overture.com) and Google AdWords (http://www.google.com/ads).

Now, it’s true that a top-ranked ad with either of these two industry giants will guarantee your site a lot of exposure (as long as you’re bidding on keywords that a substantial number of people are searching for).

The problem is that you often have to pay more for these
#1 spots. And in the case of the more competitive keywords, this can means bids of $1.50 to $5.00 (or more!) per click.

If you want to be successful with the PPC search engines, you need to bid on keywords that attract clicks from “qualified”
buyers (as opposed to “tire-kickers” who will drive your costs
up) while keeping your bids as low as possible.

Here are some tips that will help you accomplish this:

1. FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO BID

This might sound obvious, but it needs to be said: Don’t bid more than you can afford! A lot of businesses make this mistake.

Before you pay for advertising of any sort, calculate the value of a single visitor to your web site. Once you know what ONE visitor is worth, you’ll know the maximum amount you can afford to pay per click.

2. “NUMBER ONE” ISN’T ALWAYS BEST!

You don’t always need to be ranked #1 for keywords to attract visitors. Sure, it helps if your ad appears in the top 10 results. But people click on listings featured on the second and even third page of results for competitive keywords.

So run some tests! Vary your bids so that your listing appears higher and lower on the page and see what effect the ranking has on your profits. You may actually find that for more costly keywords, a slightly lower ranking is more profitable.

3. BID ON LOW-COST VARIATIONS AND COMMON MISSPELLINGS

Frequently, you will see businesses bidding as much as $5.00 a click for popular keywords — while NOBODY is bidding on common misspellings and similar keywords that cost just pennies per click!

Use Wordtracker http://www.wordtracker.com to locate keywords that relate to your business and are frequently searched by your market, but that none of your competitors are bidding on.

4. BID ON HIGHLY TARGETED PHRASES WITH LESS TRAFFIC

Rather than bid on a handful of “general” keywords, which tend to be more expensive because they get the highest number of searches, bid on dozens — or even hundreds — of highly “targeted” keywords, which tend to be cheap.

For example, instead of bidding on “pet supplies,” you might bid on “red dog leash,” “oversize dog kennel,” and “cat toys with bells.”

You’ll see better sales conversions on the more targeted keywords because they attract more qualified buyers. And since no one is bidding on these keywords, your advertising costs associated with this traffic are extremely low!

Another benefit of this strategy is that you can direct these qualified visitors to a page that gives them exactly what they’re looking for. In the above example, your listing for the keyword, “oversize dog kennel” could link directly to your dog kennel catalog page, rather than the home page of your pet supply store.

5. CREATE SEPARATE ADS FOR EACH PRODUCT OR SERVICE YOU SELL

This is an extremely effective strategy, but very few businesses are using it: Write ads specific to each keyword and phrase you bid on.

For example, instead writing an ad for “sporting goods,”
write one for “quality leather soccer balls,” another for “discount ladies’ tennis shoes,” and so on.

These customized ads will attract more attention (and clicks!) from qualified buyers. And of course, you’ll be able to convert more of these visitors to buyers if you direct them to a page on your site with the exact product or service they’re searching for.

6. GET LISTED IN RELEVANT SPECIALTY SEARCH ENGINES

Did you know that there are specialty PPC search engines that target different markets — like brides, pet owners, antique collectors, car owners, etc.?

Check out http://www.PayPerClickSearchEngines.com to see if there are any relevant to YOUR business that might be worth getting listed in.

Unlike any other concept of marketing online, blogging
is about updating with regular updates and posts where
people will often come back to a site to read for more
information.

The importance that most often people miss to do is to
update their blogs very frequently. How frequent? Well for
starters you should be posting at least 3 times a week on
your blogs to put more valuable content for your readers
to read.

By doing that you not only create more content but because
search engine loves blogs so much, you can actually get
index on ranked on Google based on keyword you placed on
your blogs.

In the next posts I will showing ways on
how you can use profitable keywords on your blogs to
be able to rank high in search engines.

So be on the look out for it =)
