Performance-based marketing (aka affiliate marketing) is a tremendous channel for online merchants and lead generators to grow and make prosper, but it definitely isn’t without its share of issues. Here are some of the issues in performance-based marketing you may face:

Affiliate tax legislation - these are taxes, state taxes, that have been levied by huge states like New York, that will then tax merchants of affiliates that produce sales out of that state. The Performance Marketing Association is something that everyone in performance marketing should join and be a member of. Go to their site, performancemarketingassociation.com and you can get all the latest affiliate tax updates and how it possibly affects you as an affiliate or merchant.

Fraudulent sales - Fraud sales, or placing bogus sales or leads through affiliate links, is kind of the dirty little secret of the performance marketing world because there are a lot of shenanigans that go on in the industry behind the scenes. You have to have a really good fraud prevention process in place to stop if from happening, whether you have to call every order that comes in or every lead that comes in…you may have to do that in order to verify the quality on the different traffic sources that you’re running on a performance basis. Especially when you’ve opened it up to numerous CPA networks and large affiliate networks. When you have 5,000 or 10,000 affiliates, you have to look into individual traffic sources on a per affiliate/partner basis and make sure the quality is there, if it’s not quality then the source has to be addressed.

Same order ID and multiple referrers - This can happen when you are an Advertiser/Merchant multiple networks, you can have the same order ID credited across various networks because various pixels are showing up on the conformation page and this is definitely going to happen if you’re running at a lot of affiliate networks. So at the end of every month you have to look at all the orders in your internal database and compare them against the different networks’ reporting systems. Make sure all the numbers match-up, so you know you’re not overpaying or underpaying for that month’s worth of sales or leads.

TradeMark Infringement - Some companies allow affiliates to bid on their trademark (company name) via paid search…some don’t. It can be very lucrative for affiliates or it can be very troubling for merchants. It just depends on your philosophy. I usually advocate for an open search policy, but it really depends on the merchant and how much of their own paid search they are spending money on. If you don’t want to sacrifice any ROI on your paid search, you probably should have strict trademark restrictions with your affiliates. If you don’t mind affiliates bidding on your company name you can achieve a nice amount of saturation on the search results page and increase click thru rates.

Who will manage your affiliates? Don’t just let anyone manage you affiliates and partners. Don’t let some intern manage it or kid that just graduated from college who knows nothing about the search engines or HTML or affiliate marketing. Don’t allow an outsourced affiliate manager without proven experience and strategy manage it because it will be wasted time and I’ve even seen poor agencies kill a program. Because if you do either of these things, you’re going to get exactly what you put into it, a whole lot of nothing. So you have to use very, very competent, experienced, pro-active affiliate managers handle it, whether they be in-house or outsourced. Outsourced affiliate managers can be good, because outsource companies have a lot of contacts already, they already have a large affiliate database that they can prospect from. So outsourcing it can actually get you further quicker in my opinion.

Who will do your business development? Business development should be done internally as far as I’m concerned. You should have somebody that is reaching out to companies and approaching them on a rev-share basis saying we’d love to work with your company, maybe we can send you to our newsletter, you can send us to your newsletter…things like that. Find equally large companies and web properties to you own and propose some kind of ad inventory swap or newsletter placement swap and pay each other on whatever sold. You can do that with 50 or 100 companies a year and really broaden out your reach and that’s all performance marketing, everything is on a performance basis.

What’s your strategy to grow this channel? Strategize on growing your performance marketing channel and then execute on it, don’t just strategize and then turn it over to someone and do nothing because then what’s the point. So you really have to execute after you strategize. Be aggressive with your strategy to grow the channel and don’t be weak with it or it will go nowhere.

How are we motivating affiliates and partners? You have to always think about how to motivate people to participate more and produce more. Affiliates and partners can be divided into different groups and buckets and then you can take the smaller buckets and graduate them to larger and take people who never produce and turn them into producers through various strategies and that’s how you maximized your participation level, which then maximizes the sales levels which go up as you have more people sending traffic.

So how much money should we invest in this channel? Don’t be cheap! You can do it with nothing or you can do it with quite a bit of money. Probably $40,000 or $50,000 can be invested in the first year to grow an affiliate program, if not more to really building out a good affiliate channel (and that’s not even including the labor and whoever you’re bringing on board to handle this for you or if you’re outsourcing it). So you really should talk to someone qualified to advise you on how much to spend, and where to spend it, and then if you’re willing to spend you can get a great result by spending a little bit of money through affiliate recruiting and through advertising in the right venues. If you are cheap with affiliates and partners you won’t get the growth you want.

How long should it take to grow a performance marketing or affiliate program? This depends on a few factors. This is the number one questions I have to answer in my agency and just talking to people on a daily basis. It depends on the website, it depends on the niche, it depends on how much traffic is out there in the niche, depends on your conversion rate and your payout. So there are many factors, but you have to be very realistic as to the time frame that it takes to grow a channel like this. It could take six months to a year to even really start being really happy with how much performance you’re getting out of this channel. But if you stick to it and really grind it hard every month and every year, it will grow year over year exponentially. You just have to take it really seriously and put the right strategy and resources behind it.

These are some of the issues in the Performance-based marketing industry. I hope you enjoyed the content! Thanks!

Okay, so what types of affiliates, publishers, and partners are there really out there for Advertisers to work with? There really are so many different types, it’s such a large industry. Over the last 10 or 12 years affiliate marketing has really exploded. I mean it’s really a worldwide phenomenon. Here are some of the various types of affiliate marketers:

Webmasters - Webmasters are people building sites and people who own sites. There are an infinite number of webmasters out there who are in various stages of expertise and development of their website, or multiple website, that will likely have signed up for a CJ or Shareasale, and you can meet them through there and you can also flat out contact their website if you find it and say, “Hello, I found your website, I’d love to partner with you. This is pay out we can offer.” If you do it in large amounts you’ll get a certain amount of response.

Search Affiliates - SEO, PPC, media buying - there is a whole crop of affiliates who spend their own money and really try to leverage the search engines, Facebook advertising, and various other paid advertising models in order to generate an ROI for themselves with affiliate offers. This is a whole sub-culture, really you could say, because they are usually very entrepreneurial business minded, smart people, testing different things. These are affiliates you want to have as partners as long as they are following the right procedures and rules. SEO and media buying affiliates can really drive a ton of traffic and revenue for you. So these affiliates need to be catered to and made friends with.

Bloggers - bloggers are great for posting content about your company, reviewing new products, you can send them samples, you can say “hey review our product on your site, here is a sample”, which can be very effective at spreading the word. Not only that, anything bloggers write about tends to rank organically in the search engine. So its never bad when you have a blogger who is willing to promote your company or do a product review for your company as an affiliate. Mommy bloggers are very good affiliates and there’s probably an infinite amount of mommy bloggers that aren’t even in affiliate marketing right now that can be approached and proposed a business deal where they are being compensated on what they produce via their blogs.

Coupon Sites couponing has become very, very big. It has really exploded in the last couple of years with the recession, where people are going searching for coupons for particular merchants prior to purchase and they also find merchants before even thinking about purchasing via coupon sites. It’s a little bit of a double edge sword, in that you will get additional volume from the coupon sites, but you will see coupon sites sort of capitalizing on organic rankings related to your company name and the word “coupon code.” So you have to sort of take the good with the bad and really try to maximize the good and not really trouble yourself too much with who’s ranking organically with your company name and the word coupon code, because it’s going to happen as soon as you launch an affiliate program. But there is a tremendous amount of potential with coupon code affiliate sites because they likely have member bases and they usually drive a lot of traffic.

Review Sites - review sites are pretty popular among affiliate marketers. Affiliates will build a site that reviews five or six different advertisers in a particular niche, hosting is big with review sites, also dating, phone companies, flowers, basically anything where you can take four or five different advertisers and put them on one site and then drive paid search or organic search through those pages that feature different reviews, usually in a chart format. The affiliate would then earn a commission whenever he refers business to anyone of those advertisers. So that’s a very big and well converting demographic of affiliates traffic.

Loyalty Portals loyalty portals are very, very big. These are companies who have large membership basis and they are able to expose your advertiser offer to the membership base and there may even be a cash back component. There is many, many loyalty portals out there that you can place your offer in and it’s on a performance basis, so they have to be hunted down. Mall Networks is a good example of a loyalty affiliate publisher.

Incentive Programs This is where you are running into volume, but you are also running into possible issues because people taking actions when they are being awarded points can tend to skew down quality of leads certainly and then possibly sales and possibly increase the return rate. Virtual currency is another — it’s a quickly growing industry that kind of was born out the social networking thing where people are earning virtual currency and then there is companies who leverage affiliate advertisers to let people redeem their virtual currency and make purchases and save money and so forth. But again, a double edge sword, as you can get good volume, but you can also get some “iffy” sales and some sales that can tend to have a higher return rate.

Email Marketing - Email marketing has been around for years and it’s gone through a few different revolutions let’s say and it went from the wild west to something a little more regulated, and from what I can tell its pretty much the wild west again. It’s all about getting into the inbox. My recommendation is being very picky with it and don’t use everyone but pick maybe four or five email vendors that can blast your offer on a performance basis and just make sure everything is CAN-SPAM compliant and you shouldn’t have issues, and it should be an additional revenue source for you.

Partnerships and Business Development who in your company is handling business development? Is it someone who is pro-actively reaching out? Is it someone who is going after companies saying, “Hi I found your website or I found your company, we would love to partner with you on a rev share basis. Here is what we pay out by join our affiliate program and running it through our direct tracking program on site.” So you have to reach out to a lot of possible partnerships in order to get handfuls, but once you have a really good partnership on rev share or CPA basis, it tends to be a good producer and it tends to last a long time. So always look for partnerships and it kind of falls outside the realm of affiliate marketing. It’s one of those things you handle internally with a Biz Dev person, a business development director, that should be a very proactive person who follows up a lot. Yhey can definitely be going out and getting rev share deals for your company.

Big Web Properties - Big Web Properties are great! What’s better than a site that gets a couple a million visitors a month with your banner on it. You have several large websites in the affiliate networks, one that comes to mind the Meredith Corp, they publish 10 huge magazines and huge online web properties. Big web properties are definitely more receptive to CPA deals and rev share deals than they ever have been and the more inventory they have, the more they need to fill that inventory with something that converts for them to make the money, hence affiliate offers.

Traditional Media You can get TV, print, and radio on a CPA basis on a rev share, it’s doable, it can be done, it has been done, I’ve done it myself. You have to propose these deals to the different media outlets and individual stations and say, “can you run some of your remnant inventory with our ads, and we’ll pay you on a performance basis, we’ll set up a dedicated 800 number, we’ll set up a coupon code, a dedicated URL.” You can run traditional media on a performance basis. So look for those type deals as well and there are few companies that specialize in that.

Phone Calls - generating phone calls on performance basis, usually done on a per call basis or a warm transfer basis or live transfer where you are paying extra amount for that transfer to the call centers. But there are companies out there who will do it on a strictly per sale basis. So you just have to find those companies and get your company kind of in with them and run the campaign. See if it works for both parties. If it does you continue, if not you move on and say thanks for trying or you can do it on a different metric and see if you can make that work.

These are some of the various different types of affiliate marketers you can work with on a performance-basis! Hope you enjoyed the read!

Performance marketing or performance-based marketing is the model by which affiliates, partners, or publishers are paid commissions on desired actions. There are several different models on which you can work as an Advertiser or Affiliate. The main model is called the CPA Model or the Cost Per Acquisition or better known as Cost Per Sale. 90% of all affiliate marketing or performance marketing is conducted on a CPA model, that’s why you may hear the term CPA being thrown around a lot out there.

The second most popular model is probably the Cost Per Lead or CPL model, where information is being processed into a form on a website or a landing page and then that action is then paid out to whomever referred the business. Cost Per Click or CPC is another technically “performance based” model where you’re compensating someone on those clicks that they’re driving, but technically it isn’t really performance based in that it’s not commission-oriented. Then there is the Pay-Per-Call model. Ring Revenue is probably leading the forefronts on compensating affiliates and partners when the generate calls to your call center or sales center.

CPA and CPL are the primary performance marketing structures. When you hear about affiliate marketing or performance-based marketing you’ll hear these two models being talked about the most. Electronic tracking is absolutely necessary in order to facilitate all performance-based marketing. You have to be able to track the click-throughs and the sales that result and cookie the browser for a certain period of time, so people are accurately compensated for the traffic they’re referring and the sales that result or leads.

Performance based marketing is ideal for Advertisers because it only compensates when desired “actions” are made by site visitors. Affiliate marketers like the performance based model because the more they produce the higher the commissions per action can go.

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money online. There are affiliates who are making thousands per month by promoting other companies on their websites or through online advertising venues. But it can also be a nice way to generate additional income via your websites or blogs. Affiliate marketing is still growing and getting bigger as an industry every year as more people get into the game. There are definitely proven strategies to becoming a successful affiliate, which we will be bringing you in the near future.

The first step in becoming an affiliate is determining what product, company, or services to promote. There are some companies/niches who are easier to promote than others. Think about a topic you know about and enjoy already, therefore it will easier to create content and articles about it. Some examples of topics include: dating, dieting, electronics, costumes, parenting, sports, cell phones…topics like this. Once you have picked a topic, it’s time to determine who makes the product that might have an affiliate program for their site. Think of brand names and put “INSERT BRAND NAME HERE affiliate program” into Google to find “in-house” affiliate programs. Make sure that they have an affiliate program but do not yet sign up for it. You may want to go direct with a merchant if they have their own on-site affiliate program, otherwise you can go through a major affiliate network to access banners and links to promote a particular merchant. This is a personal choice, but you can get higher commissions by going directly to a company many times.

The second step involves having a website/blog and web hosting. There are many different web hosting companies on the Internet and most will provide an adequate space to launch your affiliate career. Your domain name should be related to the products that you are promoting. Do not use any brand names or product names within the domain name, as most companies don’t allow this. When you go to apply for the affiliate program they may reject you as well as file a complaint with your web host to recover the domain name. Setup a website that is related to the topic and place some type of content on it. Blogs are a great way to show you are serious about becoming an affiliate. Placing three to five blogs with related content on the website will make whoever is approving applications much more interested. But be realistic with how many sites or blogs you can comfortably maintain. There are also many free blog platforms like Blogger, Wordpress, and other that you can host a free site on, so no money needs to be expended unless you want your own domain name.

The third step is submitting your application. Some affiliate programs are run by the company themselves while others will be on large networks known as affiliate networks. Some of the largest include Commission Junction, Link Share, Shareasale and Google Network. These affiliate networks provide the platform that is used to track all the clicks and sales that affiliates generate. Also, they have specially trained staff ready to answer your questions (if you can get them to respond!). When you fill out an application include your website, name and email address. Also, include a valid phone number. Some affiliate programs want to speak with you to ensure you understand their product and also to sent you important instructions before promoting their products. Most affiliate programs process their applications each and every business day. If you do not receive an email notifying you of their decision within three business days, call the company and respectfully inquire about the status of your application. Be proactive with your affiliate managers. Many companies use outsourced affiliate managers which specializing working with affiliates.

Step 4 is actually starting your promotions. Once you have a site or blog live and the affiliate banners installed, you can not start crafting content and articles on your site that talk generally about the niche. Many affiliates create coupon code websites that feature unique merchant descriptions which get into the organic search results and can bring in visitors. Adding tons of fresh content to your site/blog is definitely the way to go to get more pages into the search engines. One you publisher your new articles you can then “bookmark” them to sites like: Digg, delicious, and others which gets them more traffic as well. Also joining article directories like ezinearticles.com as an author can get your articles ranking quickly in Google. They let you link to your main site at the bottom of the article which can bring in visitors and inbound links. Like anything, you have to article production in heavy volume to attain a lot of organic traffic. There are also other great ways to promote as an affiliate which we will covering soon, so check back frequently…Thanks!

With the growth of affiliate marketing and the companies that practice and profit from it, care must be maintained in order to avoid unethical and even criminal practice within these services provided.

Since the emergence of affiliate marketing, there is little to no regulation in the practices of marketers, and merchants alike. Some affiliates have used spam, false advertising, forced cookies, adware and other unscrupulous activity to drive traffic to merchants and sponsors. Even with the advent of a terms of service clause used universally throughout Internet marketing, this unethical activity still exists.

Currently there is no real authority curtailing such practice. While some affiliate networks have released codes of conducts to guide practices and set ethical standards of online advertisers, true regulation has not yet been enacted to control the industry.

The solution, without pushing for government agency regulation or even an industry-funded watchdog is through education and training into the nuts and bolts of marketing. What has been lacking in the affiliate industry is a true curriculum that would allow for the training of perspective marketers. Whether on the industry level or the university level, teaching the methods of affiliate marketing along with other more standard practices of business marketing offers a keen eyesight to what practices are successful, and not as well which ones are ethical and which are not. This training could streamline affiliate marketing and improve its practice and efficiency in the future, allowing for increased freedom and expansion of the business as a whole.

As the Internet grows and offers more and more ways to reach consumers on a point and click basis, Internet marketing groups will push for news ways to integrate affiliate theory into the marketplace. The responsibility of members of the industry grows to set limits to how these practices can be used to lure potential consumers.

Affiliate theory has also spawned a new business in itself. Affiliate sites turn large profits in conjunction with merchants, making it a business onto itself spawning groups and companies that rely solely on an identity as an affiliate to generate profit for them. As profits grow larger, so does the moral responsibility by these companies to take action to thwart the spread of unethical practices within their business.

Affiliate Marketing is an Internet business practice that has grown exponentially since its inception in the early 1990’s. Rapidly, Affiliate Marketing is becoming an industry standard for the Internet. It might be time that the industry itself takes a look at how it can regulate itself, to avoid advances in unethical behavior.

In an effort expand into new avenues of online marketing and optimizing the resources and scope that the Internet has to offer; industry professionals are looking to affiliate marketing, or performance-based marketing, to open new doors of opportunity. Through this marketing theory merchants and affiliates alike are finding success. Merchants will either use an affiliate network like CJ, Linkshare, or Shareasale…or opt to use an on-site affiliate tracking program like Hasoffers.com.

In layman’s terms, affiliate marketing is using one website to drive traffic to another. Rather than utilizing direct online advertising, affiliate websites help steer potential customers to the merchant or brand seller. In return, merchants offer rewards such as cash or gifts for the traffic. Methods used in affiliate marketing include search engine optimization; improving traffic via algorithmic search results, search engine marketing; promotion through paid placement and email marketing; a form of direct marketing. The key is to pull traffic to a website that in turn deflects that traffic to the merchant.

Marketers have several options when creating affiliate websites. Pay per click search engines promotes advertisers’ offers. Websites geared to comparison-shopping and brand loyalty websites/directories that offer reward systems for membership lure specific demographics to advertisers. Offering coupon and rebates on brand related websites that focus on sale promotions bring traffic to the appropriate merchant and product as well.

Niche websites offer a pinpoint market and/or demographic that is ready made. Weblogs, email lists and shopping directories also allow for pre-determined markets. Websites with adbars use more customary and recognizable forms of advertising to reach a target audience and demographic.

Effective affiliate managers are essential to developing a health and growing affiliate program. Without good, pro-active affiliate management in place many companies fail with their affiliate marketing efforts. In order to grow a large, productive affiliate program using a good outsourced affiliate management company is recommend.

As the Internet grows and offers more and more ways to reach consumers on a point and click basis, Internet marketing groups will push for news ways to integrate affiliate theory into the marketplace. While this makes it easier for merchants to offer their products and services it also allows for clearer avenues for consumers to research and eventually purchase the products and services they need and/or desire. Affiliate theory has also spawned a new business in itself. Affiliate sites turn large profits in conjunction with merchants, making it a business onto itself spawning groups and companies that rely solely on an identity as an affiliate to generate profit for them.

Affiliate Marketing is an Internet business practice that has grown exponentially since its inception in the early 1990’s. Rapidly Affiliate Marketing is becoming an industry standard for the Internet.

Affiliate Marketing has become a useful tool for advertising and exposure over the worldwide web. Through the use of web publishers (affiliates) utilizing formal advertising methods, merchants create traffic to their product or services. In return merchants reward the publisher sites with cash or other types of rewards.

Beginning in the early 1990’s, it is well chronicled that the adult industry were the first to employ such marketing. Cyberotica was an early innovator of affiliate marketing with a cost per click program. In 1994 CDNOW introduced its BuyWeb program. The idea behind BuyWeb was a click through program that allowed consumers to peruse reviews or a list of albums from music websites clicking on an artist or album they are interested in giving them the opportunity to purchase it. In coordination with Geffen Records the idea of remote purchasing was born. Geffen contracted CDNOW to create a program that could handle order fulfillment. CDNOW could directly link an artist on its website to Geffen’s website, bypassing the CDNOW home page and going directly to an artist’s music page.

In 1996 Amazon launched a program of banners and text links through affiliates for individual books to link to Amazon’s home page. Affiliates earned a commission for each click that led a consumer to their site. These first steps have led to rapid growth in this style of online marketing. Currently it is estimated that affiliates are earning billions of dollars in bounty and commissions from a variety of sources including retail, gaming, travel etc.

At its core affiliate marketing is using one website to drive traffic to another. Affiliate websites help steer potential customers to the merchant or brand seller. Methods used in affiliate marketing include search engine optimization; improving traffic via algorithmic search results, search engine marketing; promotion through paid placement and email marketing; a form of direct marketing. These methods have driven online marketing to new levels. Affiliate marketing offers a low-key approach to online advertisers but plays a significant role in the strategies of e-retailers. So much so that it has spawned the need for management agencies that specialize in the complexities of the approach.

Media Groups have helped fueled this industry practice, creating new avenues in which to steer consumerism to the supply of merchants. The formation of these companies and groups has enhanced the scope of affiliate marketing and will continue to do so as the Internet and its ever-changing market continues to grow.

Hey everyone! I wanted to share with you a valuable resource of mine because I believe in sharing good, effective online marketing strategies with others. Online press releases have been around for years, but remain a very effective way to spread the word about your company or website. Not only do they get good exposure by being reprinted on numerous websites, they are great for organic SEO and inbound link building.

I have been using eReleases.com for the past 6 months or so and I’m extremely impressed with the exposure and business it has brought my company, much better than any I have tried previously. So much so I asked them for a coupon code I could give out to my friends, connections, and clients to use. They normally charge $399, but you will save $75 with this coupon code: EXP-75. I know it’s a bit pricey but it definitely works and has become part of our monthly marketing strategy, you may have seen me posting them through my social stuff.

Anyways, I hope you give it a shot. You have to write them decently though, with a good title and good copy. I have some writers that can crank them out for you for a fee, let me know on that. Otherwise, just mozy on over and check them out! Make sure to use code EXP-75 to save on the fee. Contact me for best practices or if you would like me to review your press release before it goes out. Check it out here: http://www.ereleases.com
