Best Affiliate Program Software
The best affiliate program software that is hosted on a 3rd party’s server that I talked about in my last post is SOLOBIS’s AffiliateRising.
It operates on just one simple principle that will help you the Merchant to achieve the most number of sales from your Affiliates.
That principle is as follows:
Go all out to put your Affiliates’ best interests first.
Yes, your Affiliates’ best interests first – not your own.
The reason is simple.
When your Affiliates are happy with your Affiliate Program and the way you’re treating them, they’ll promote your products far more than your competitors who don’t care much for them. And there are more merchants that don’t really care too much for their Affiliates than you think!
SOLOBIS’s AffiliateRising Affiliate Program software helps you achieve this goal with the following top features:
Top Feature #1:
Use Your Own Domain Name In Your Affiliate’s Affiliate Links!
With most hosted Affiliate Program software, you’ll have to rely on the provider’s own domain name for your Affiliate tracking links.
For example, your Affiliates could be forced to use the following long Affiliate Link:
http://www.AffiliateTrckSystem.com/s/t.php?aff_id=9330
Not only does it look odd, your Affiliate’s Prospects will be wondering why he is linking to a 3rd party when he’s recommending YOUR product at your own domain at, say, GreatStuff.com.
However, if your domain is GreatStuff.com, SOLOBIS’s AffiliateRising Affiliate Program software allows your Affiliates to use the following type of Affiliate Link to link to your web site and still get tracked for their sales:
http://www.GreatStuff.com?z=9ecd
See the huge difference in appearance when you have your own domain in your Affiliates’ Affiliate Links?
Major Benefits For Your Affiliates:
1. They link DIRECTLY to your domain, not to AffiliateRising!
Their Prospects’ minds don’t raise any “flags” before they get a chance to visit your web site.
2. Sales will likely increase from your Affiliates’ referrals
Since the Affiliate Link doesn’t raise any “flags”, the referred Prospect may be more open to see what’s being sold to him. When the product page views increase, the product sales will naturally increase!
Major Benefits For You:
1. Increase in Web Page Ranking In The Search Engines
Affiliate Links with the proper anchor text linking directly to your web site’s domain will help your web pages achieve a better ranking in the Search Engines over time – which will then bring you more and more free Search Engine traffic! You won’t get this benefit with a 3rd party Affiliate Link that re-directs to your domain, since all the Affiliate Links point to that 3rd party’s domain first – increasing that domain’s ranking instead!
2. Brand your site to the max
With your domain in your Affiliates’ respective Affiliate Links, your brand is displayed everywhere it’s seen. It’s one of the easiest and best branding methods available anywhere that also increases your traffic and sales at the same time!
3. You’ll look really professional
Your Affiliates will love their Affiliate Links since it’s made with their interests at heart.
Top Feature #2:
Affiliate Links Don’t Look Like Affiliate Links!
A link that looks like this
http://www.AffiliateTrckSystem.com/s/t.php?aff_id=9330
is obviously an Affiliate Link.
Because your domain is GreatStuff.com, what’s another URL with certain keywords like “Affiliate” and “Track” being used here, with something else called “aff_id” (which stands for “affiliate ID”), to refer to your web site?
Your Affiliates’ Prospects aren’t dumb – and in any case, this type of link practically spells it out for them.
With AffiliateRising’s style of Affiliate Links that look like the following:
http://www.GreatStuff.com?z=9ecd
there’s no obvious connection with an Affiliate Program! It could well be a product web page, or even a Blog posting. There’s also no “aff_id” tags anywhere in that link to immediately give the game away to your Affiliates’ Prospects.
Major Benefits For Your Affiliates:
1. Their Affiliate Links don’t look like Affiliates Links
And so they’ll get more visits to your web site, and consequently, more sales.
2. Because they don’t look like Affiliate Links, there’s less Affiliate Link Hijacking
Affiliate Link Hijacking occurs where a Prospect immediately signs up as your Affiliate once he knows that he’s following an Affiliate Link, and then buys from himself to deprive the referring Affiliate of his commissions.
Major Benefits For You:
1. Your Affiliates get more sales for their efforts
They’ll be happy that you’re protecting their interests with their unique Affiliate Links.
2. Your Affiliates will be more likely to sign up as your Affiliates
You get more Affiliates because you put their interests first.
Notice The Difference?
==================
Can you see the HUGE difference in the above approaches to 3rd party Affiliate Program software’s Affiliate Links? Your Affiliates will be some of the happiest puppies on earth – and consequently, you will be too.
But you can do much more.
Stay tuned!
