Affiliate Tips
This week we would like to get you to focus on your traffic and if you are not doing this already then we strongly recommend you start analyzing who is coming to your website and how to funnel that traffic so you can give them a better experience by sending them to highly targeted landing pages.
There are a number of ways to see who is coming across your website. The most popular is google analytics http://www.google.com/analytics and its easy to install on your blog or website. I have chosen google analytics by way of an example but there are loads of visitor tracking tools out there. Google just happens to be free and bang for bucks you do get a lot of useful analytics. If you use blogging platforms most will have the option for you to enter the google tracking and can be set up automatically.
Once your analytics is set up, what should you be looking at? For you it would be, how many people came to my site from different countries. You would be surprised at the amount of traffic you get that is not from your country. For affiliates who are promoting to their own country only, have you thought about monetizing traffic that comes from abroad?
Affiliate marketing is global and most countries have affiliate networks that you can join without being a citizen of that country. Under the tax laws of your country, you declare non territory additional income; most affiliate networks even provide you with the necessary tax forms. How can you monetize traffic from another country?
You need to have a good two to three months of analytics data to look at in the beginning; this should be enough time to start getting a good idea where your visitors are coming from. Example you are a US Affiliate and 70% of your visitors come from the USA, 15% come from Canada, 10% from France, 5% from the UK. We commonly see some affiliates use the “throw mud at a wall and some will stick” approach. For those who want to make affiliate marketing their sole income, monetizing every inch of your website is the way forward. A simple menu link from your home page (Shop: Canada, France, UK)
You then create landing pages for your non US traffic, propagate with country specific advertisers) but don’t forget you may end up with US traffic on your non US pages, make sure to add a link back to the home page or US landing page.
Once you start creating landing pages keep the flow of visitors circulating, don’t give them an excuse to leave because they think the site is not relevant to them, and think about this, they came to your website for a reason don’t give them a reason to leave.
You can take this even further and promote by state or by region, knowing where your visitors are coming from is the first step in understanding more about how your website works, who its attracting and where they are coming from. Yes, it does take time and patience but would you rather get better conversions? Reduced bounce rate and your precious time spent on your website converting into money?
