Affiliate Selling Tools
As an Affiliate Marketer we pay you to generate sales from a button, banner, or
link placed on your website, newsletter, e-mail or pay per click ad.
We would like you to feel part of our business and we are here to help you
succeed, so if you have any questions at any time, please do not hesitate to
contact us.
There are many ways to promote us, below are some suggestions:
Button, Banner or Link on Your Website
Remember that those adverts placed in a prominent position on your website and
in an area that relates to the product perform better.
Newsletter, Forums, and Email
It is important to recognise all the advertising methods available and use them
to your advantage.
Start adding your link as part of your signature at the end of any emails you
send.
I would also suggest participating in discussions forums on Online Backup
linking to us in your signature. This is a free and very effective way of
advertising. Always be careful to make good points, you do not want to be
considered a spammer and banned from a board.
We operate a no spamming policy and you should only email adverts to people you
know.
Pay Per Click
Pay per click has always proved one of the most successful ways to promote our
business. One company that you can use for this is Google AdWords, using them
will allow you to promote us even if you do not have your own website. You will
need your own tracked URL which you can find on our creative page on affiliate
future:
Below is an example of how the link will look. Do not use this one.
You will need to log into your affiliate future account to get your personal
URL.
http://scripts.affiliatefuture.com/AFClick.asp?affiliateID=25268&merchantID=992&programmeID=3031&mediaID=0&tracking=&url=
Copy and paste the link and use this as the destination url. This will allow
affiliate future to track all your sales.
Google AdWords
Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising system maintained by Google. If you use Google
you have probably seen the AdWords. They appear as little text ads next to
search results on Google, on the right hand side of the page, under the
“Sponsored Links” heading.
The ads also appear on AOL, Ask Jeeves, Earthlink, Teoma, Sympatico, and many
other search engines.
Google adwords is a great way to promote as you do not need to have a website. I
have provided you with all the tools below to help you research the best
keywords. Save these to your favourites. They are the key to your success.
Overture
Getting your business prominent placement in search results is ensured with
Overture - the world leader in Sponsored Search. It's the smartest and most
cost effective way to sell your product or service online. You only pay when
someone clicks your ad, leading to a high return on your advertising
investment.
With Overture you will need to have your own website. This could be as simple as
a one page site with our banner ads. I would suggest adding some content such
as articles on online backup. We have provided one
here.
Google Adwords and Overture are both very effective when used with good
Keywords.
Keyword Research
The first thing you will want to do before placing an advert is carefully
research some good keywords. We are allowing you to use any keyword you like to
promote us including our brand name. The key is finding words that people are
already searching for and not many others are bidding on. This will become
clearer to you as you start using Google Adwords and Overture.
I have provided you with direct links below to Google and Overtures keyword
research tools. Use these well, spend some time experimenting with this as it
will be the key to your success.
Save these links to your favourites, any serious affiliate should not be without
them.
