Notas do Editor
- 1) What are the loyalty sites getting, 2) what are the subnetworks getting, 3) what are their actual average commissions in the network compared to their average sale? (these might be lowered because of working with coupon sites, cash back sites, or other different affiliate types) But if it’s higher, you know there is definitely a possibility.
- In this case, you can see that the commission rate being slightly elevated from the “base” commission of 8% matches up with some of the cash back sites getting at least 10%.
- This is almost a presentation in itself? For purposes of this discussion, these are some of the specific things you can use.
- Did you know that merchants may be getting sales but you are not getting paid? On some networks, your links will continue to direct to the merchant even though the merchant is no longer active. Alternately, your customers are going to dead pages (network pages or sold out product pages).
- Link to the merchant page when you are talking about that merchant in general. When you are talking about deals on the merchant website. When they have a small number of products anyway. Product pages: Pros/Cons Search results pages Category pages If the products aren’t being made anymore, point them to the secondary market or a site where they might be able to have them made.
- Post from 2013 that ShareASale told me had dead links! I was linking both to CafePress in general and that specific product. The product isn’t sold anymore.
- This stuff IS still being sold. So I link to the search results page on the CafePress site. Even though this post is only getting 1 click a day, that’s 365 clicks a year. With a 3% conversion rate, that’s 10 sales a year I was missing off of just one post from 4 years ago on a site that I never update or promote anymore. At $1 commission per sale (which would be LOW) it pays for the domain!
