Read About Beyond Banners

Using familiar 468x60 banners is one of the most popular and most commonly-used methods for trying to promote website traffic. Unfortunately, however, banners are also one of the least effective methods to promote affiliate links. Two more effective tools are pop-up ads and text links. One obvious downside to pop-up ads is that many users find them annoying, and many programs allow users to disable them. One reason that pop-ups are still effective, though, is that using cookies will “cookie” each user that visits the site. Text links, on the other hand, can be an effective way to improve the return on your marketing efforts by using content with integrated links. As an affiliate, you can include information and links in your online newsletters as well as on your website. This can provide relevant content (something your readers rely on) as well as important links for your readers, increasing traffic for both sites.
