An internet marketing affiliate program is either an individual or merchant company that is willing to pay you a commission for selling their product or service for them. Some affiliate programs can be marketed offline, as well as online, however, most are designed to be put in front of internet audiences.
There are, of course, many different methods of marketing affiliate programs. The most popular by far is email marketing. Email can send your marketing message to all four corners of the world in a matter of seconds, providing that it can get by the spam filters employed by most internet service providers.
Another method for promoting an internet marketing affiliate program is by using pay per click advertising. This method of advertising does cost money and it’s very important that you test and track everything that you do when using it in order not to waste your advertising budget. There are literally dozens of pay per click advertising companies out there now, but the best three by far, in order, are Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing and MSN Adcenter.
Another method for advertising your internet marketing affiliate program is by using Search Engine Optimization (SEO). This method is done by focusing individual pages on specific keyword phrases in order to rank highly in the search results in Google, Yahoo and MSN. When someone does a search there, there would be a good chance they’d see your offer page or website. This method has become extremely competitive and it’s hard to rank for broad terms anymore, but there’s still a lot of “long tail” phrases that can add up to a lot of traffic quickly, if you’re willing to do the work.
There are several ways that you can market an internet marketing affiliate program online. Hopefully, this will give you enough information to get you started on the right track.
