What is a Quick-n-Any-Page linking mechanism? As a proactive merchant, you will create many text links and banners for your affiliates to copy and paste onto their websites. Traditionally, your affiliates will find those links that are most relevant to their needs, and they will copy the linking code and paste it onto their websites. This method is fine for less active affiliates who normally place one or two links once in a lifetime. They may add a few more links ifl they revamp their website design. However, this process may frustrate a super active affiliate. He may need to place several links pointing to several different sales pages composed of single article content. This type of affiliate will expect a natural flow from link to specific page. He may have one hundred different articles that require linking. The situation becomes unwieldy when the link URL is chosen dynamically at runtime by a script based on the content of the page. A similar problem will arise when one of your top affiliates tries to attract quality traffic by paying for a Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaign. You must give him an easy way to create the link instantly; otherwise, he will likely sever ties with you. If you provide him with a panel where he can supply the destination page and anchor text himself, you will have a very happy affiliate because the link generator will instantly create the link. This mechanism is called "instant linking mechanism". Why should you tell your affiliates about this Mechanism? A personal experience Three years ago, while I was managing and working on custom affiliate tracking software I came across a super affiliate. A month after registering, he sent an email asking whether we could provide him with deep linking tools (linking directly to a specific product page) by using his own anchor text. It took a few days to develop the module, which entailed changing script However, I was able to provide him with the mechanism to generate instant links using his own anchor text and the URLlink of his choice (for 1,500 of his pages). Soon afterwards, the super affiliate turned into a giant affiliate. He started to run a Google Adwords campaign. He created a few websites that targeted and promoted only our products. He added sales content to his pages and promoted our products using the instant affiliate links mechanism. Before he started this aggressive campaign, he had very few sales during his first month. However, by the second month those instantly linked pages accounted for more than 50 percent of our total affiliate sales. Euraffiliates strongly suggests you to promote the quick linking mechanism to your affiliates. We firmly believe you and your affiliates will see greatly increased sales.. Will all your affiliates use this mechanism? No, only a few link sensitive and super active affiliates will probably use the instant linking mechanism. However, these few affiliates may account for 90 percent of your affiliate sales. Are popular affiliate software products powered with this linking tool? None of the known affiliate software products is powered with this instant linking tool.
