Concerning The Rebirth of Affiliate Marketing

Some concern has been battered around the web lately about the banning by Google of Affiliate Marketers using Adwords.

Although there are legitimate and well established companies, they also use affiliate programs and have remained strong. The are literally thousands of them; to list a few includes Turbo Tax, Norton Anti-virus, Zappos Shoes, Weight Watchers, Pet prescriptions and pet product, lawn and garden companies, Rosetta Stone language learning and Travelocity to name a few. They are reputable companies that offer terrific products and service.

Add value to your site by posting product reviews and testimonials. Use the real words of established customers you trust and who believe in the product. Use the feedback from others who have used the product, including family and friends. That way you will get the true experience and their words to endorse the product. You should use the product as well, before you promote it.

Another plus is to create a “super niche or an angle” surrounding your product. For example, it already established that people looking at a Weight Watchers ad are looking because they want to lose weight. Finding away to fine tune the angle or create the niche is the draw that will hook them in. One of the reasons you are looking to lose weight is because you are going a high school reunion or other important upcoming event, or you are going on a vacation. There is no shortage of niches you can create, from the newly divorced looking for a date to the ones who just want to be healthy.

The days of easy profits from affiliate offers are long gone. The only security in this business is to hone your craft and get really, really good at copywriting, buying traffic, negotiation/joint venturing, and any other direct marketing skill. When all is said and done, remember that Affiliate Marketing is selling to a consumer without the face-to-face aspect of sales.
