Affiliate Marketing for Publishers

These days a Publisher can be any type of Web site from a well known destination that offers consumers a range of shopping opportunities to a blogger that?s just beginning to attract an audience. Regardless of what type of site you have in mind (or already have in place!) as you build a loyal following you have an opportunity to monetize your Web site and start earning commissions!

Also called an affiliate, a publisher displays ads, text links, or product links from an advertiser in return for a commission when a sale is made or when a lead is acquired. The sale can also be tied to a specific action such as filling out a form or downloading a trial. LinkShare facilitates relationships between publishers and advertisers by providing the underlying technology that manages links, tracks results and commissions, and sends payments.

Though there are other fine affiliate networks out there, LinkShare affiliates have an advantage over the others with all of the linking options that LinkShare offers. Some of the basic linking options that LinkShare offers are text links and banner ads.

Banner ads come in full color and can easily be placed on your website or blog but LinkShare also gives you the option of having your banner ads built into rotating banner links.

The text link ads and banner ads are usually offered by most affiliate networks out there but the following options usually are not. Individual product links are great when you want to advertise a specific product that you think your readers may be interested in, these individual product links can be built as text links or banner links. Search Box is another great marketing option that LinkShare offers, just place the search box banner link on your website or blog and let your readers search for whatever they are looking for on the advertisers website. Storefront is another marketing tool option used by successful affiliates, it is an easy to use as it is a prefabricated page of hot products. Easy Links places contextual ads that will appear on your website/blog which are determined by the relevant keywords on your site. Easy links is a terrific feature to use because the ads that show up from advertisers are always relevant with your readers interest. Flex links and Dynamic Rich Media are other options. Flex links are links that support embedded tracking links in a variety of object-based media. This media can be video, audio, widgets, and more. Dynamic rich media are basically just what the name says, they are rich and interactive multimedia links. As you can see LinkShare is a professional and well managed affiliate marketing network that cares about publishers succeeding.
