Read on to find some top tips for keeping your site visitors longer and therefor increasing your chance at the all important sale!

The more time people spend at your web site, the more time you’ll have to persuade them to buy your
product or service. Below are ten powerful ways to keep visitors at your web site longer.

1. Offer your web site visitors a freebie if they take the time to fill out your online survey. They’ll be at the site longer and might buy something afterwards.

2. Provide your web site visitors with content they can’t read anywhere else. People will stay longer at your web site to read the original content.

3. Make sure all your web pages load fast or your visitors will leave fast. Time is precious; they won’t
waste it waiting for your site to load.

4. Use headlines and sub headlines all over your your web site that will grab visitors attention. It will
attract them to explore your web site longer.

5. Remind your web site visitors they can print out your content. They may browse around your online
store while it’s printing.

6. Offer your visitors free software that they can download right from your web site. While they are
waiting they might read your ad.

7. Provide a huge online directory of information that your visitors could search. The directory must
contain information your visitors would want.

8. Tell your visitors what’s offered at your web site at the very beginning. If people are confused about what’s being offered they may leave too early.

9. Publish your web site professionally. People will get turned off and leave if they see a lot of spelling
and grammar mistakes.

10. Make your site text easy to read. Most people won’t strain their eyes trying to read text that is too small, light or bright.

These are just a few reasons, if employed that your site visitors will stay longer!

As an affiliate, your main objective is to sell the products and services offered by your partner merchants. Unless you can do this, you can never hope to make a significant amount of money with affiliate marketing programs.

So how do you boost sales? All things being equal, you will need to increase your site traffic before you can experience more sales. By the law of averages, the more people are aware of the products you are offering, the more products you will sell.

Here are a few tips that can help you increase your site traffic:

1. Optimize for the search engines. The most successful sites on the internet are the most visible ones. Now there are various ways to achieve increased visibility on the internet, but the foremost method is that of search engine optimization. The details are too technical to discuss here, but the purpose of search engine optimization (SEO) is to help your site achieve higher rankings on the search engines.

If you have used a search engine, you will notice that any particular keyword search will return thousands, if not millions of results. Most people will not bother to browse through all those results; they will prefer to look into the sites already displayed. Statistically speaking, the sites listed on the first results page will garner the highest amount of traffic, putting those sites in a better position to make money.

2. Joining internet directories. While internet directories are no longer as widely used as search engines, some people do use them. It is important that you do not overlook the potential customers that these directories can bring to your site. To join an internet directory, you will have to submit your site for approval, and you will be categorized accordingly.

3. Provide fresh content. Your site must continually be updated if you expect your visitors to keep coming back. Your site must have useful content, as well as tools that will help your target audience. Make your site as easy to navigate as possible, and be sure that your links work the way that they should. There is nothing that frustrates people more than a “broken” website, and once your site has been labeled as such, chances are slim that many people will want to come back.

4. Build an online community. In other words, build relationships with your potential customers. Make your visitors feel welcome and appreciated, and they are likely to come back. Be interested in solving their problems and they will thank you with their business.

Making your affiliate marketing programs work is really not that much different from operating a traditional business. The only way you can keep your customers is to treat them right. The Japanese have a saying: The customer is God. As long as you treat your customers with respect and exert effort in trying to meet their needs, you will find that they will be more than willing to help you with yours.

Affiliate Marketing Programs and Requesting Customer Support

As a webmaster, you are bound to run into problems. Even though you have spent a good amount of time learning the affiliate marketing trade, sooner or later you will run into some challenges that you will need help to resolve. Areas such as e-mail services, affiliate marketing software, and online services are often particularly troublesome.

Unfortunately, getting help is not often easy, even from your web host. But there are ways to make the process simpler for both sides. Here are some questions that you might consider before you call your service provider:

Who are you? This is a common problem. Many people report their problems without providing their personal information, such as their username. Unless the support team knows who you are, how do you expect them to solve your problem?

What is the problem? Be specific. Identify which product or service is not working properly. Keep in mind that you are just one of your web host’s customers. Unless you can pinpoint the problem, chances are pretty slim that you will receive appropriate and timely help.

What software are you using? Your web host’s support team will need information on the software you are using. For instance, they will ask you what type of system you are using in your computer. It is a well-known fact that certain applications do not work well on certain systems. Be sure to give any relevant details about the services or applications that you use.

When did the problem start? Identifying the time you became aware of the problem is important. If you have recently made any changes to your system and the problem appeared soon after, it is quite likely that particular change is the cause. Don’t withhold information from the support team; every bit of knowledge is crucial to identifying the source of difficulty.

What have you tried to fix the problem? If you have attempted to fix the problem yourself, be sure to include an account of your attempts in your report. Letting the support team know what you’ve already done will help them save time, and also make a more accurate diagnosis of what’s wrong.

Have you kept it simple? For security purposes, some support systems do not allow HTML display. To avoid having your e-mail intercepted, it is best to send your messages in plain text format.

Remember to be polite. Keep in mind that the support team is composed of human beings – they certainly will not appreciate it if you maltreat them. Never insult them; never use profanity. If you want your problem to be resolved, it is better to hold your peace and act civilly. Despite what you may think, you are just one of their customers — they reserve the right to discontinue their services to you whenever they like.

These pointers will not always get you the speedy service that you deserve, but they can certainly help.

Affiliate marketing is a difficult business enough without making enemies. By taking a little time to see things from your support team’s point of view, you can drastically improve the quality of service you get.

If you take these tips into consideration when trying to run your affiliate marketing programs and use the above strategies to increase your traffic - you will be off to a flying start!

A Quick Traffic Report for my SFI Team Members

One of my SFI team members recently asked me………….
“I dont have much time to spare so how can I promote effectively?”

This is just a quick report on how to get you some free traffic!

I have had several of my new affiliates ask me about traffic methods, so here is what I’d do if I only had an hour spare a day!

The first thing you can do to generate more traffic is to use Traffic Exchanges

I’m writing about this first because its quick and easy to implement and you’ll have it all done in an hour or less! Also, this method works very well for me – so I suggest every one of my affiliate team members put this into place today!

And did I mention that’s it FREE!

Ok……..Traffic Exchanges (TE’s) provide targeted traffic to your website by showing your pages to their audience. You basically join for free, load your pages and banners up and then they start rotating in the traffic exchange system. Now, the best pages to use on TE’s are short and to the point as surfers are only required to stay on your page for as little as 10 seconds and up to 30 seconds per view.

As an affiliate, you have access to all these types of pages and banners in your back office. Just log in and find ‘Promotional Tools’ and pick the ones you like. As a matter of fact, all affiliate programs will offer you these type of tools because they want to make it easy for you to promote for them!

So, you now know where to find these promo tools, pick ones that are short and sweet for TE’s! You will soon work out that different advertising methods are required for each different tack you take in promoting your business.

For SFI, - you log in - then click on marketing in the menu. Next click on “marketing aids”.

You will now see a whole pile of “gateways”. (dont forget to read the marketing methods when you get a minute!)

These gateways are your own personal promotion pages that are precoded with your SFI ID numbers.

You will see gateways for Network Builder, Eye Earn, Maxmalls, Tuneflow etc etc as you go down the page.

All you need to do is copy and paste these gateway URL’s into your account at the TE’s. Its really very simple!

Next, you will want to sign up with a few TE’s. I have listed the ones I use below. I use these particular exchanges because they all offer some sort of bonus! And I like bonuses!

You are probably wondering why TE’s are free? Well, in essence, you receive page views for your pages – equivalent to the amount of pages you personally view. So, in order to earn credits so that your pages are advertised, you need to view other peoples advertised pages. This can take up a bit of time!

I don’t have heaps of spare time………..so in order to have ALL my sites rotating in ALL of the following exchanges, I just buy my credits! You can get really good deals and upgrades, so check it out if you have a little extra cash!

However, in saying that, if you surf all your Traffic Exchanges for an hour a day - you will create a heap of exposure for your own sites!

If I ever surf (which is hardly ever anymore!) I open all the exchanges in different tabs and then just click back and forth - which gets me a credit in each of say 10 exchanges every 10 seconds. So if you add that up, you could realisticly get around a few thousand credits in an hour!

Do that for an hour a day and you are off to a great start with your promotions.

But back to the FREE bit, you can join all these programs for NOTHING! You will just need to surf to get your credits!

And dont forget my top tip for you……….when you are surfing, open up a new tab for each of your exchange programs at once and then you are earning credits on every exchange at the same time!

Another quick tip before you start signing up is to pick a short and easy username and password and then use the same one on all your exchanges!

This little tip will save you heaps of time trying to find login information!

So here’s my list:

Dragon Surf

Advertising Know How

I Love Hits

StartXchange

Traffic Splash

If you surf the 5 above at once, you can gain an extra 10-20% credits on each traffic exchange on top of your total - thats a minimum extra 50% overall - Bonus!
To make things easy for you, you can join all these exchanges on one page with this link!

Ok………..here are some others I use -

Magnify Traffic

Hit 2 Hit

Traffic Roundup

Click Voyager

All of the above are 10 second timer TE’s. The ones below are 30 second timer TE’s. You can reduce the time you are required to view each page by upgrading. If you do upgrade, you will also recieve more credits per page viewed and you will get a monthly allowance of credits deposited straight into your account.

NOTE - Traffic Swarm is a great traffic exchange and I get very good traffic from there, but unless you are a heavy hitter, it is an expensive one to upgrade in, costing $30 dollars a month. If you are only going to promote SFI, traffic swarm will let you have 10 URL’s rotating for free anyway - so stick with that (unless you really want to upgrade - read the sales page to see the advantages)

Traffic Swarm

Traffic G

Ad Pack Network
Adpack network is great because you actually get paid to surf! Read the sales page!

Another bonus to upgrading is you will also be allocated a good number of banner views.
You can still earn banner views as free members - but if you are paying for your views with credits you have earnt, I suggest you just advertise your gateway pages as these convert at a much higher rate! I personally use pages, banners and text links at all exchanges!

If you are loading banners to your traffic exchanges, it is similar to loading the gateway URL’s but not the same!

When you “add site” which is what its called to load a page, you just enter the one URL that you copy and paste form SFI.

When you are adding banners, you do it in 2 parts.
Banners come in the form of html code. Dont worry this is easy, but I want to explain it because it took me quite a while to figure it out in the beginning of my internet days!

When you are loading banners in the TE’s, you add 2 bits of info.

One is the destination URL - this is where the people see when they click the banner, so one of my SFI destination URL’s would be:
http://moreinfo247.com/10101010/EE
If you click that link, it will take you to an Eye Earn sales page.

Two is the banner URL - this is the address where the picture/banner that you click is hosted (which is at SFI), so the banner URL would be:
https://www.sfimg.com/Images/Banners/banner326.jpg

NOTE - if you just load this banner URL. you will get the picture but it wont go anywhere when you click! (Doh!)

So - you must load banners in 2 parts - once you are in your TE, just open another tab and login to SFI then you can just copy and paste the info you need.

HINT - the banner URL will always start with http:// or https:// and end in .jpg or .gif - these are picture extensions and the destination URL will always start with http:// or https:// and will have your ID number in it!

DONT FORGET - it doesnt matter what focus you have chosen to pursue with SFI - you can still promote ALL products! I do - and so should you!

OK…………MOVING ON!

SAFELISTS.

Safelists are lists you join so that you can send solo emails to the rest of the list membership!
You will receive emails from the membership to you in return.
I suggest opening a G-Mail account specifically for the purpose.

Safelists work in a similar way to TE’s in that you get credits for opening emails. Then you use your credits to send emails out!
This is a very straight forward idea and you can also load your banners to the safelists and they will rotate at the top of the emails that are sent out.

OK………the most responsive safelists for me at the moment are:

Enterprise Ad Exchange
Jerry has a great deal for start up and you can earn heaps of extras around the site just by collecting Star Wars words!
I think he’s a trekky from way back!…..lol - This is doing very well for me - its new and very responsive.

Spectacular Exchange
This one has got heaps of features and you can buy 50 solo emails for a tiny $10! Of course you can get them for free aswell!

The Little Guy
has a good solid base membership of over 1000

and Exchangin Ads
is working well for me too!

Just a few I dont recommend you bother with because they have dreadful admin support - are Aussie safelist and InetGiant. Even though I am a member of both of these, I wouldnt suggest joining unless you really know what you are doing because there is zero help available!

Another good resource that is quick to establish and actually requires no ongoing work is Respondoo.
Join Respondoo Here.
Respondoo’s main function is as a search engine with some extra great features.

You list all your gateway pages and can also create search ads which people can respond to with a click - its great!
You also get to choose keywords to link your pages to, so when people search you come up in the top positions for your chosen keywords.
Respondoo is also FREE!

Dont forget you can make money by referring people that upgrade aswell - so extra income streams for you too!

OK…………..and LAST BUT NOT LEAST……….
If you upgrade in 3 or more of any of these sites, through my links, I have a bonus for you!

Ok…….wait………..drumroll please!!!!!!!!
Upgrade at any 3 sites and I will transfer 50,000 credits to your Click Voyager account!

That will certainly get you moving fast!

All you will need to do is email me with your usernames so I can verify your upgrades and then I will transfer your credits!

Ok - if you have more than an hour a day to promote your business - go check out my sites - www.WeMakeMoneyOnline.com or www.WeMakeMoneyOnline.com/blog for lots of articles and tips and tricks to make money online!

If you want some motivation or personal development ideas, check out www.CompletePersonalDevelopment.com

And………….please feel free to contact me for help after you have read the sales pages and site directions!

Its not hard to setup - but will take you a good hour to do!

Then all you need to do is surf for an hour a day as explained above and Hey Presto! Instant Traffic!

Dont forget - people need to see your site 5-7 times before they take action - so that is why you must take action now and get out there promoting!

I hope this report has been of benefit to you - I know it will be, because its exactly the way I utilize the Traffic Exchange and Safelist method!
Think about it - you probably came to my team through a TE!

So there you have it, this shouldn’t take you long at all! In less than an hour your sites and gateway pages etc will be out there circulating throughout the net! What are you waiting for? Get to it!
