By creating your own affiliate marketing network

you can increase your internet presence, resulting

in increased sales while paying for performance

based advertising. Traditional advertising is not

cheap and you pay for the ads regardless of the

outcome. If you receive no sales or sales leads

from your advertising, the money is wasted.

Affiliate marketing allows you to have your ads

potentially placed on thousands of other sites and

you do not have to pay anything for them unless

they return results. Best of all, you have the

option to choose which sites display your ads and

the types of ads that are used. Tracking

information is built into the links so you can tell

how many impressions your ads are getting, how

often the ads are being clicked on and how much

sales are being generated by the ads.

Whether you

run your own affiliate program or sign up with an

affiliate market corporation to run it for you, the

choice of which websites to use as affiliates is

still up to you. You may want to review sites that

request to affiliate with you to determine if it is

the type of site with which you want your name

affiliated. You can also determine the pay

structure. If affiliates believe your commission

structure is too low they do not have to sign up

with you. Of course, if it is not worth their time

and effort to add your links to their page, you

will have no affiliates working with you.

Another

hidden advantage to using affiliate marketing is

the increase in the number of links that point to

your website. Many search engines use that

information as part of the logarithm in determining

your position in their rankings. The more quality

links that point to your site, the more that score

is worth. Of course, not all links back to you will

be viable and if a search engine believes you are

getting links just for the sake of having links, it

can also hurt your position in the rankings.

Primarily you can choose to pay for visits to your

site, or for visits that result in a referral or a

straight commission percentage on any and all

sales. You also can determine at what earning level

the commission will be paid to keep from having to

send out commission checks for miniscule amounts.

Typically, earnings must hit at least a certain

threshold of $25 for instance, before being

paid.

Running your own affiliate marketing

network keeps the rest of the profits at home, but

having another company operate it can free your

staff’s time to concentrate on customer service as

well as following up on referrals you may receive

through the affiliate marketing program.
