Affiliate
marketing is the process of a customer being directed to an online
store via a link from another store. The process begins with a visitor
being on one site (the affiliate) and they are encouraged by a link or
banner to visit another site (the merchant.) This completes the customer
process of the affiliate marketing process but the merchant then
provides compensation to the affiliate for passing the customer to them.
The
social media and network communities have been one of the fast growing
phenomenons in recent years and show no sign of slowing down. Have you
ever thought about how to harness its power and energy to benefit your
firm or website?
You may be aware of Pay Per
Click (PPC) advertising and may even have used it in the past but many
firms are turning away from this style of promotion. Whilst it may have
generated increased traffic to your website, there was no guarantee of
sales and it was open to abuse.
Having links is vital to making
your site more attractive to search engines which create a problem or
two for websites. Firstly, as it is so important, everyone will want to
forge links making it a competitive market. Secondly, because the links
are so important, websites will not want to hand out links to any site,
links have to be earned.
