You own a website and have teamed with many others

on the internet through internet affiliate

marketing, in hopes of earning sales commissions on

products and services the others offer. It only

makes sense that the majority of your affiliated

sites also offer online transactions since the web

surfer is the target of your marketing.

However, there is no reason you cannot use internet

affiliate marketing to work with service businesses

that conduct their business offline. For example a

used car lot may have a website that lists and

displays a portion of its inventory and you guide

potential customers to the site. The customer then

wants to call the dealer to verify the availability

of an advertised vehicle. Using affiliate software

that that can track calls, you could still get

credit for the sale and earn a commission.

Additionally, some service companies do not have an

online presence, such as hair dressers or even

attorneys. Working out an affiliate agreement with

them, a small card could be printed out on their

home computer with information linking the coupon

with your site. By including a map to the business

along with other pertinent information, it can be

taken to the business and they would know from

which site the lead came from for proper affiliate

credit.

However, the majority of affiliate

marketing is conducted through other internet

businesses that utilize software tracking,

automatically assigning you a tracking number. When

a person visits your site, clicks on an affiliate

link and makes a purchase from the affiliated site,

you receive credit for the sale and earn a

commission. Since most buyers are already online,

making the transition to another site is simple for

them and tracking is automatic.

As a business, there are many advantages to joining in the

affiliate marketing craze as it can greatly enhance

your presence in cyberspace. The key to success for

any online business is being able to be found on

the internet. Having thousands of other websites

posting an ad for your business, for which you pay

only if you get results, adds to your traffic and

your sales.

An advantage to the affiliate websites

is that it appears to have advertising on it from

other website. Visitors viewing an affiliate site

have no way to determine if the referrals are paid

advertising or not, which can add a degree of

credibility to that site as well. You will also

receive points from internet search engines for

having additional links to your site. Although

graphic links do not garner as many points as text

links, the more quality links you can obtain, the

better.

Affiliate marketing programs are a win-win

situation for both parties as the site gets

additional exposure and traffic and the affiliate

can earn money through the commissioned sales.
