Affiliate marketing is one of the fastest and easiest ways to make money on the Internet, allowing you to avoid dealing with customer service problems or product creation. All you really need to do is make sure you recommend good products to the buyers who want them. Then, you collect big paychecks with very little effort. There are many different things that you have to watch out for when it comes to protecting your commissions. All of the things that you have to look for can't be listed here but we will show you the top 3. 1. Learning not to use direct affiliate marketing links Have you ever heard of link hijacking? Well if you haven't heard of it, link hijacking is something that happens to thousands of people everyday who have their own online business. In these cases what will happen is someone will go in and switch the ID tags on your links so that when they get clicked the payment will get sent to the hijacker. Now with that said there are many different things that you have to watch out for when it comes to affiliate marketing. One thing that could be bad for your business is getting online and putting out dead links. Be aware of where you put your links because its very easy to put links out there just to get them out there, and where ever it is that you put it makes it very easy you to get dead links. This stems from putting direct affiliate links out there that are used on site such as twitter, blog posts, or an e-book that is out there where the vendor of this product stops selling, will cause you to have dead links. The best thing to do here is to make sure that you are using a redirect link instead so that it will let you change the link that you have out there from dead affiliate to a similar product very easily. 2. Making sure you are aware of any sales leaks If you don't take the time to properly vet the sales process, the biggest thief of your affiliate dollars could be the vendor themselves. Sometimes it's a mistake - a new marketer who doesn't know what they're doing, but other times, your vendor is trying to rip you off on purpose. There are some things you can pay attention to in order to avoid this. Do you see AdSense ads on the sales page? Some marketers aren't aware that there shouldn't be any distractions or methods of leaving a sales page other than the buy button or the back button. Other marketers are doing this on purpose. The traffic comes for free, and each time someone clicks on an ad, they get the money. Skip these vendors, either way. Are there alternative payment options? Vendors can sneakily reach into your pocket by offering many different payment options on the landing page. Make sure you credit even if the customer picks a different option. Otherwise, you could run into a bad situation. For instance, if your vendor uses Clickbank for affiliate tracking, but encourages customers to call orders in, you won't get paid. One of the easiest methods for them, is to simply put Q & A on a separate page so that if a customer calls them with questions, they can direct them to another page with out your links on their, once again you do not get paid. There are a lot things that you have watch for with the vendors, but if you do you will be on your way to making money. 3. Knowing where the vendors take your money Make sure you always read the terms of service and the affiliate agreement closely. You could find ridiculous payment thresholds that will let the vendor keep your money indefinitely, or you could run into a big accounting fee every time you have a check cut. Summary If you want bigger affiliate paychecks, these are three things you need to pay attention to.
