Excellent Affiliate Product + Google AdWords = Big Profits

You should seriously consider using Google AdWrods — one of the most effective and powerful tools of generating targeted traffic.

But there’s one problem with Google AdWords. Anyone who has used Google AdWords before should know that Google does not allow you to use a web page with pop-ups as your destinations page. It means that you can’t send your prospects directly to a product sales page if it uses pop-ups (and most sales page does), regardless how well its conversion rate is.

However, this problem should not stop you from using this powerful traffic-generating tool. You should find a creative way to overcome this problem.

myAffiliateAssistant has a tool called Invisible Link II. Given a web page (in HTML format) without any pop-ups, this tool will generate a JavaScript with your encrypted affiliate link in it. It then embeds this JavaScript into the web page. For best results, in your web page, you should include a link to the sales page for the product you are promoting. You may then publish this web page to your website and start promoting it via Google AdWords by setting its URL as the destination URL in AdWords ad.

Why is this great news for affiliate marketers?

Because it allows you to tag your visitor’s computer with your affiliate ID as soon as they click through your AdWords ad.

Do you write excellent reviews of products but aren’t getting too many people to click on your affiliate links? That’s not surprising because people are much less likely to click on an affiliate link than on a direct link to a sales page.

Instead of using your affiliate link, you can disguise your web page as an “unbiased” review of the product by using direct link to the product’s sales page instead of a visible affiliate link. And since your product review seems unbiased, your visitor will be less guarded, and more likely to buy.

myAffiliateAssistant has a tool called Invisible Link II. Given a well-written product review page (in HTML format), this tool will generate a JavaScript with your encrypted affiliate link in it. It then embeds this JavaScript into the product review page. You may then publish this review page to your website and start promoting it.

When a prospective customer visits the product review page, the affiliate link that you specified will be visited as well (in the background). If the prospect later on visits the product’s website and purchases something, you will get your commission as if the visitor had clicked on your affiliate link directly.

If you use the tactic of selling your prospective customers two products every time they click one of your affiliate links, you can double the number of hits that you get to your affiliate links. And that translates into more sales. Even if your prospective customer doesn’t make a purchase at your first website, he or she may well like the looks of your second product.

After your prospective customers have finished reviewing your first two products, you should use this closing opportunity to invite them into your sales funnel for later backend sales.

It could be a simple invitation for more information, free ezine, or follow-up sequence. Regardless of how you do it, this is the appropriate time to capture their name and e-mail address.

myAffiliateAssistant has a tool called Affiliate Tripler. This tool will generate a web page (in HTML format) containing a JavaScript that will launch up to 3 browser windows. You can promote different affiliate link in each of the browser window.

The first browser window is the main window that will appear first. The second one is a delayed pop-under (exit window) and will appear once the main window is exited. The third one is a pop-under (entry window), created right after the main window but it will be hidden behind the first two windows and it will appear last.

To achieve best results, you should use the first two windows to promote products and let the third window to capture your prospective customer’s name and e-mail address.

With this tool, you are killing two birds with one stone: doubling the hit rate as well as expanding your opt-in list.

There are quite a number of websites that sell multiple products but you as an affiliate have no choice other than to send your prospective customer to just one page on the website via your affiliate link.

Most visitors get frustrated being redirected to a page with multiple products on it and never take the effort to find the particular product you referred. Or else they get distracted, start browsing here and there and forget which product they came to check out. So they might end up leaving the page without buying anything and you’ve lost that commission you should have netted.

However, if you could focus your promotion campaign via a link to a particular product page then your focused promotion efforts are sure to generate more sales.

myAffiliateAssistant has a tool called Targeted Product Page. This tool will generate a web page (in HTML format) that will redirect your prospective customers to a designated product page of the merchant who sells multiple products. Your affiliate link is embedded in the HTML file and will not appear on the address bar of a web browser. Since the affiliate link is also encrypted, it can’t be viewed via View Source function of a web browser. You may then publish this HTML file to your website.

By directing your prospective customers straight to a particular product dramatically improves your chances of making the sale.

Besides promoting affiliate products directly, do you know that you can also earn affiliate commission by promoting articles written by product owners?

Of course very few product owners would pay you commission by promoting their articles directly, but you can do it creatively and earn the affiliate commission indirectly.

myAffiliateAssistnat has a profitable tool called Invisible Link II. This tool can automatically embed your affiliate link into an existing article page of your choice.

You may then publish this article page (with the author’s resource box) to your website and start promoting it. When a prospective customer visits the article page, the affiliate link that you specified will be cookied. If the prospect later on visits the author’s website and purchases something, you will get the commission as if the visitor had clicked on your affiliate link directly.

Most affiliates would abandon those affiliate programs with great product but lousy sales page. The low conversion rate just doesn’t worth the time, effort, and investment to promote the product.

However, if you could have your own killer sales page that links buyers directly to the product’s order page, you stand a much better chance of making more sales.

myAffiliateAssitnat has a profitable tool called Sales Copy Order Link.  This tool allows you to promote affiliate programs with lousy sales page but great product.

Almost all promotion and marketing activities will lead to a merchant’s sales page before reaching the product’s order page. In this case, your selling options are quite limited.

If you’ve written, or got your hands on, a killer sales message. It’s almost guaranteed that when it’s read the reader will want to go ahead and order the product. If  you’ve already convinced someone to buy you don’t want them to be distracted by going to visit a website. In this case, it’s best to send them directly to the product’s order page.

You will have more selling options if you let people to order directly from e-mail messages, ezine ads, as well as other ads that you can include the killer sales msessage.

myAffiliateAssistant has a profitable tool called E-mail Order Link. This tool allows you to increase your selling options to include e-mail, ezine ads, and other ads.

It’s a proven fact that if your affiliate link is short, simple, and easy-to-remember then you will get more clicks on it. That translates into more sales and therefore more profit.

Instead of using an original affiliate link such as:

http://www.wonderfulproduct.com/refer.php?prodid=18&affid=38046

you should use a shorter, simpler, and easier-to-remember link such as:

http://www.yoursite.com/product1.html

myAffiliateAssistant has a tool called Simple URL II. This tool allows you to turn long, complex and hard-to-remember affiliate links into short, simple, and easy-to-remember affiliate links.

Most affiliate links are very obvious. If you’ve been on the Internet for a while, you’d know that the following link

http://yournichname.vendornickname.hop.clickbank.net

is a ClickBank link to a product that pays affiliate commissions. And if you’ve been on the Internet for a little bit longer, you’d know plenty of link-hijackers and link-bypassers would change that link to

http://theirnichname.vendornickname.hop.clickbank.net

Or what about

http://www.wonderfulproduct.com/youraffiliateid

which they would change to

http://www.wonderfulproduct.com/theiraffiliateid

or just plain

http://www.wonderfulproduct.com

These people knew about the product through your hard work and yet you didn’t get the credit. There’s totally unfair.

In order to stop these people from ripping off a piece of your affiliate income, you must find a way to protect your affiliate link.

The software tool that allows you to protect your affiliate link is generally called affiliate link cloaker. myAffiliateAssistant has a tool called Clean URL. It’s available in all editions of myAffiliateAssistant including the Free Edition.

Clean URL will generate a web page (in HTML format) that will show a clean URL (without any affiliate link) on the address bar of a web browser. Your affiliate link is embedded in the HTML file and therefore will not appear on the address bar. Since the affiliate link is also encrypted, it can’t be viewed via View Source function of a web browser. You may then publish the HTML page to your website.

Instead of using original affiliate links like:

http://www.wonderfulproduct.com/youraffilliateid

you can redirect your prospective customers to links like:

http://www.wonderfulproduct.com

and at the same time tag your visitor’s computer with your affiliate ID.

Your affiliate link will be probably and securely cloaked and protected from prying eyes. If link-hijackers and link-bypassers can’t see your affiliate link they can’t change it to their own and take away your affiliate commission.

In short, this tool protects your affiliate income from being ripped off by link-hijackers and link-bypassers.
