Tips for Affiliates
By

For
affiliates running their own web site or thinking of
starting their own web site the following web design
tips should help you convert more visitors into sales.
1.
Your main goal as an affiliate is to get people to click
your affiliate links so make it very easy for visitors
to click your affiliate link. You have to actually tell
them to click the link. Have a 'click here' for every
affiliate link on your site.
2.
Content. Content. Content. Give visitors what they want
- they want good quality content and lots of it. Articles,
tips, newsletter archives and details of each product
or service on your site.
3.
The fewer pictures the better. Lots of graphics slow
sites down and as you are an affiliate you want your
visitor to click your affiliate link. If your web site
takes a long time to load your visitor may just leave
and not even get a chance to click your affiliate link.
4.
Use a simple layout with a prominent, easy to find link
to each major page on your site. Complicated sites with
lots of graphics and the latest design features are
great in theory but the keep it simple strategy works
best for affiliates.
5.
If you offer a newsletter, make it very easy for people
to sign up by having subscribe details on every page
of your site. Also offer a newsletter archives section
on your site.
6.
For lots of great content use other people's articles
on your site. Ensure these articles fit the theme of
your site and include your affiliate links at the bottom
of each page these articles appear on.
7.
Make sure you have a 'Contact Us' page. When you tell
people who you are and how to contact you they will
instantly be more likely to trust you. If they trust
you they will click your affiliate links!
Be
constantly looking for the best ways to design your
affiliate web site. Your design should be focused on
getting visitors to click your affiliate links. Better
web design means better results for affiliates.
