Finding the Balance between Content and Graphics

by eMarket Profits on August 9, 2008

Building your affiliate marketing business around your domain name is much more effective than using a general approach, like using the “affiliate done 4 you website”.

The more specific your focus, the easier it is to get your advertising message to prospective buyers.

Most affiliate marketing programs offer banners or text links embedded with your referral link that you can use on your website. Be aware that using these graphics is not always the best idea because they will cause your site to load slowly. If you want to use the “program” graphics, do some testing on your web site to see if there is a slowdown with load time.

What your visitors really want to see what new information you can offer them; what makes your site different from the other websites that they have visited. How well you meet the expectations of your visitors and deliver information that is of interest to them can have an impact on whether your visitor clicks your referral link or not.

The informational content of your website should be compelling articles about the products or services you are offering through your affiliate marketing programs. They should outline the benefits that the visitor will enjoy through its use.

Using highlighting to draw attention to the special features of your product or service, gives you the opportunity to ask your visitor to take action and make the click on your referral link.

Article headlines can be used to encourage the reader to continue reading, contact you, sign up for your FREE Newsletter or direct their attention to a specific feature of your affiliate marketing program.

Writing content articles is one of the best ways to target the market you want. There are a number of article submission services that will distribute your articles to other websites to be used as content, giving your site increased exposure on the Internet, which will increase your link popularity and in turn your search engine ranking. By submitting an article to these services weekly, you can rapidly build targeted visitor traffic to your site.

Never having done any “Article Marketing” myself, I purchased a good content program to learn a little more about it. Josh Spaulding has a product called “Article Marketing Domination” that I purchased and recommend to anyone who would like to learn more about this subject. Josh’s ebook steps through how to focus and strategically set up article marketing in order to rank your sales website high in the search engines.
