Affiliate Network – Do I Need One?

Edit Article |

]]>

The affiliate has a choice. They can either work with multiple merchants, or they can work with an affiliate network. So why should a marketer want to work with an Affiliate Network?

I remember a friend told me a story awhile back. He had built a small website and had signed up to become an affiliate at a stack of different affiliate programs related to the topic of that site. A few weeks after he had set up the site including links and banners from multiple affiliate programs, he turned his attention to other business interests and lost interest in the site.

A few months later, he noticed that a few checks had started arriving from the affiliate programs he had joined up with. Not large checks, but amounts for a few dollars here and there. That was his first problem – as he was living outside of the USA, lots of small amounts result in lots of bank charges. (Which makes me ask – Why can’t all countries allow affiliates to bank checks at NO CHARGE?)

Nevertheless,
the checks continued to come in, and although some of them were posted on his wall as they were so small he couldn’t bank them, he wasn’t complaining as he was making money he hadn’t expected. It turned out that his site had ranked high up on specific keywords in a major search engine, and he was receiving a fair amount of targeted traffic for free. A few months after that he decided to log into all the affiliate accounts he had registered with, and noticed that some of them had not paid him as the amounts were too small, some of them hadn’t paid although they should have, and some even showed that they had sent him amounts that he didn’t recall receiving checks or EFT or paypal or any other payments for!

So how does working with an affiliate network prevent this from happening, and is this the only reason to work with an affiliate network?

A good affiliate network has a number of different offers which the affiliates can promote, and nearly all the affiliate networks consolidate the amounts the affiliates earn from the various campaigns. This means that the affiliates receive a CONSOLIDATED payment rather than many smaller ones.

It also makes reconciling the payments easier, as you simply log into one affiliate network, and can see a summary of each of the campaigns you have promoted, how much you have earned from them, a summary of how much you have earned overall, and how much the affiliate network has paid you to date.

Also, once you work with one campaign in an affiliate network, the other campaigns work in a similar if not identical way – the tracking is the same method, the place you pull the creatives from is the same, the way you check your stats is the same – and nearly always, all of this can be achieved by logging into one backend site rather than many different sites.

So now you are working with one log-in, where you can really get to understand the system.

However, even with the best of affiliate networks, things go wrong – but with an affiliate network, you would be allocated an affiliate manager, who will help you sort out any issues you encounter. Not 50 different affiliate managers – one for each campaign you are running, as would be the case if each merchant was a standalone merchant with their own affiliate program – but one affiliate manager for all the campaigns. And by building up a relationship with your affiliate manager, when you do need answers, you have one person to turn to.

Of course, once you become a professional super whaling affiliate (the type that lies on the beach while the money pours in – HAS ANYONE REALLY ACHIEVED THIS? Watch this space for a future story about the affiliate beach goers!), you’ll need specific campaigns to promote, and that is why, even the best of affiliates belong to multiple affiliate programs and affiliate networks. But this presents even more problems.

So my advice when starting out is to choose one or 2 affiliate networks, become familiar with their system, build up a relationship with the affiliate manager, test out the different campaigns they have, and let them help you achieve the success and results you want to achieve.

Search Engines, SEO and Ethics – The Need For Disclosure – Part 1

Edit Article |

]]>

Overview of SEO and Ethics

New Information technologies have had a dramatic impact on the methods people use to seek information. The internet has made people less dependent on traditional information seeking practices. Instead of seeking books or using the library information seekers are now more dependent on the internet and search engines to meet their information needs.

Since information on the internet remains relatively unfiltered, compared to traditional information seeking methods, internet users run the risk of finding and using unreliable information. Previously, traditional methods would provide filtered and mostly accurate information to users. People have to be wary of the information they retrieve because the average person does not understand the inner working of the technology involved with internet search functions such as Google, Yahoo, or Bing.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an example of one of these technologies. SEO is a technical field within the realm of the internet that is concerned with improving the volume and quality of traffic for websites from search engines via search results. There are many techniques that can be employed in SEO strategies to get websites indexed and ranked. The strategies can be broken down into two categories; black hat SEO and White hat SEO.

While White hat SEO attempts to strictly follow search engine guidelines to get indexed, black hat SEO does not strictly follow these guidelines and because of this, is considered ‘unethical’ in many circles. In an attempt to legitimize the industry, the majority of white hat SEO’s have developed codes of ethics to distinguish themselves from the firms that use so-called unethical techniques and practices.

This eight article series is two-fold. First, it will examine the exclusive nature of search engine and SEO technology, and second, it will examine the legitimacy of the SEO codes of ethics that have been developed. To situate this argument within the context of current internet usage, the impact and effect of search engines on society will be examined as well.

The works of Lucas Introna and Philip Brey, specifically the tool view of technology (Introna) and disclosive ethics (Introna and Brey) will used as the theoretical framework to examine these technologies. These works will serve as the basis to situate SEO and search engines in an ethical context in order to determine whether SEO codes of ethics are legitimate or simply another technique used by SEO firms to appear legitimate, differentiate themselves from others, and use it as a marketing tool to sell their services.

The second part of this article series will examine the ethics debate within the SEO industry. Both sides of the equation (black and white hat) will be weighed to determine whether or not there is ethics in SEO or whether it is a technical matter only. Also to be examined will be the quest for legitimacy by SEO practitioners and an examination of the disclosive nature of the technology involved with SEO and its effects on search engines. The ethical codes of SEO firms will serve as a sample to examine the legitimacy of codes of ethics within the SEO industry.

This article series will identify a greater need to examine the ethics of SEO because of the restrictive nature of the technology and practices by SEO firms. There is a need to make internet users and website owners aware of the business practices and the technology involved with SEO and search engines. The work here has uncovered the lack of ethics claimed by white hat SEO firms and has set up a framework for further research into the closed technology of SEO and search engines via a disclosive ethics approach. There is also a need for further examination of SEO and search engines because internet users risk becoming more and more disconnected from the technological processes used to retrieve the information they seek if they are not informed of the technological processes involved with seeking information on the internet.
