Affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing is 15 years old this month?CyberErotica is said to have launched the first program in 1994. The adult industry has always been ahead of the curve, but I digress. Despite 15 years of existence, which is essentially an eternity in "online years", the performance based marketing method is still in its infancy. Sure, there are lots of affiliate programs that exist for many online etailers (and other sites that seek sales, leads and visitors) and $2.1b was paid out last year from affiliate programs, but affiliate marketing is still not as easy as it should be for website/blog Publishers to implement and get compensated for their referrals.

For those that don't know, affiliate marketing works like this?a company with a product or service for sale pays a referral fee to Publishers (marketing companies) that can drive sales, leads, or visitors to them. The Publisher is taking on the risk here?they might be outlaying their own cash on advertising to promote the product/service, or they are linking to that company's product/service in the content of their site's own webpages (when they could be linking to another company instead). The Publisher signs up for an account with the affiliate program and is then given "trackable links" to use in their content, which track referrals back to them. Most etailers have an affiliate marketing program in place?for example, Amazon.com's Associates program will pay 4%-15% referral fees to you when a visitor of your website clicks a link on your site and makes a purchase at Amazon.com.

Twitter & Facebook Turn Everyone Into An Affiliate Marketer

Most recently, it's not just websites/blogs that are referring sales, but rather individuals themselves, who are using realtime sites like Twitter and Facebook to influence their friends and followers by recommending products to buy, music to listen to, and movies to watch. These realtime discussions are becoming important sources of referral sales and leads for websites?if someone is asking on Twitter what digital camera they should buy, you bet your ass that Amazon.com wants anyone on the Internet responding to that user's question to be linking to a camera for sale on Amazon.com (and not Walmart.com or BestBuy.com). Amazon.com wants to make sure that those influencers are compensated for referring people to buy from their website, which thus positively reinforces them to continue linking to Amazon.com product pages in the future.

Everyone with access to the Internet today is a Publisher. They are a voice. This has always been the case, but not the way it is now with Microblogging. Individuals were Publishers on a smaller scale via email forwards, email replies, IM, or most recently blog posts. Blogging broadened individual's view points (influence) up to a global scale?no longer would they only influence just a few friends in a closed-circuit email, but they could influence the masses online. But blogging wasn't realtime discussions. Instant messaging and chat rooms were always realtime discussions?but primarily on a one-on-one or small-group basis. Twitter and Facebook status updates, aka microblogging, has mashed the realtime nature of instant messaging with the global scale and voice of blogging.

Amazon.com Pioneers Affiliate Marketing, Again

As an early pioneer of affiliate marketing for site/blog Publishers (holding the patent on all the components of an online affiliate marketing program), it only makes sense that Amazon.com would now become an early pioneer of affiliate marketing for individual publishers?those who simply tweet and comment on their friend's Facebook updates. Last week, Amazon.com announced they would start compensating individuals with referral fees for using Amazon.com links in their Twitter messages and in their Facebook status updates/comments. Although it will likely lead to more noise (and spam), I think we're going to see many companies follow Amazon.com's lead. I also think this has the potential of being a game changer, if some other pieces fall into place?more on this in a bit.

What has shocked me over the years is the number of links in webpages that aren't trackable links. Most links in content are just regular links out to other webpages, which means that they don't contain a tracking code that corresponds to them as the referring website?which means that when a sale is referred and occurs on a site that has an affiliate program in place, that affiliate program site doesn't know who to pay the referral fee to (even though they honestly would like to, because it encourages future linking to them by that referring Publisher). In a perfect world, all the links on all the webpages on the Internet that link to Amazon.com product pages would be trackable links which would earn those websites referral fees for whenever their visitors click over and purchase products from Amazon.com. Ditto for all the links that have affiliate programs in place.

Affiliate Marketing for Publishers Still Not Quick and Easy, Yet

I would go out on a limb and estimate that 99.99% of all links on the web are not trackable links. Why? Because it's been a bit of a pain in the ass, quite frankly. If you're a publisher and you're writing a content piece, you would need to go away from your writing, login to the affiliate program for the website you want to link to (i.e. Amazon.com Associates), and then generate the trackable link for the webpage you want to link to?ensuring that when your visitors click that link, that you'll earn referral fees from Amazon.com when purchases occur. Not to mention that you have to signup for all of these affiliate programs; some of these programs are handled by third-party companies and become discontinued (making your links dead). And then there's the money?if you don't get very many visitors each month to your site, you may only earn a few dollars a month from affiliate programs, which then discourages you from putting forth the time to place trackable links into your content in the first place.

The lack of ease that sites/blogs have had to endure to use affiliate marketing over the years is the same for Individuals now. Amazon.com has said they endorse trackable links by users in social media, but it's still not easy enough. Sure, you can go over to Amazon.com, login to your Associates account, and a button appears at the top of every product page saying "Share on Twitter", which then creates a tweet with your trackable link in it, but that's still one too many steps. People are lazy. More than half of Twitter users are using a Twitter application to do their tweeting. Until the affiliate programs are integrated into the social networking platforms (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, forums) or the applications used on these platforms (Tweetdeck, Seesmic, Tweetie, bit.ly), this affiliate marketing by individuals won't take off.

Swagly.com - An Affiliate Network

Swagly is self-described as “a word of mouth affiliate network” that basically empowers its members to match and tag products in pictures to the products that make up the Sawgly database. The idea is to let each and every individual become something akin to an affiliate that receives an income, and turn the social network he is a part of into something resembling a retail store

where products are recommended to all and sundry.

This system is implemented along the following lines: the publisher procures and installs a widget, and then customers can proceed to tag anything they come across and like. From that point onwards, their friends and acquaintances will be capable of finding out more about these products, and if an actual sale is made then the publisher shares the revenue with the original user.

The one advantage a service like this one has as far as sellers are concerned is that it makes for content targeting that is unmatched in terms of conciseness. For its part, users are rewarded for what they like doing best (IE, social activity). These are strong enough features as to make this new service noteworthy to many. You can learn more about it and also sign up at the address which is featured below.

Swagly is a Word of Mouth Affiliate Network

(WOMAN) that provides a useful and fun tagging widget to social networks that enables their users to match and tag products in pictures with the product entries in Swagly's database. Swagly turns every individual into an affiliate and every social network into a recommendation retail store.”

Should Twitter Buy Oneforty?

We?ve heard an unconfirmed rumor that conversations are taking place between Twitter and Twitter-focused app marketplace oneforty. This is PURELY speculative and it?s unclear if talks are about a possible acquisition or a partnership. But if Twitter is thinking about going on a shopping spree, why would it consider oneforty?

OneForty recently launched its marketplace to fill a gap in the Twittosphere: an App Store for all things Twitter. The site lists over 1300 free and paid applications and services built on Twitter?s API, where people can search for, rate and buy Twitter services. The site also features lists of the most popular apps on the marketplace, and lists the ?best? app for nine types of Twitter services, such as apps for business, url shortners, image sharing, news, and travel. And the site hopes to be somewhat of a social network, with users having the ability to create profiles of their favorite Twitter apps and services.

It makes sense for Twitter to acquire oneforty for a couple of reasons. First, Twitter just raised a boatloadof money, so we all know that the microblogging network isn't too strapped for cash. When the news broke of Twitter's $100 million infusion, there was a ton of speculation about what the money would be used for and of course, acquisitions were at the top of the list. Twitter remained mum as to how the funds will be used but clearly, a portion of that ginormous amount of cash could be used towards acquiring Twitter-related applications like Bit.ly or oneforty.

And Twitter may not want to reinvent the wheel when it comes to developing their own app store. oneforty's site is compelling because it provides a service to Twitter users that isn't out there yet. And oneforty's social component of listing your favorite apps and sharing those apps with friends could be integrated into Twitter users' profiles.

And of course, a Twitter app store would also be a way to engage and help out the thousands of developers who are building applications and sites off of Twitter's API. While Twitter currently lists some applications and also has a wiki-based directory of Twitter-related sites and apps, but the directory's layout layout isn?t easy to navigate and has a cluttered interface.

Air America keeps WWRL as its New York affiliate

The progressive radio network Air America announced this morning it is sticking with WWRL (1600 AM) as itsNew York affiliate.

Under the contract extension, terms of which were not disclosed, WWRL will continue to carry three Air America programs: the Rachel Maddow show, 5-6 a.m., "Montel [Williams] Across America," 3-6 p.m., and "The Ron Reagan Show," 6-8 p.m.

Other Air America hosts can be heard over satellite radio or atwww.airamerica.com.

Air America, which has had trouble getting its programming on powerful stations in major markets, has devoted considerable resources to strengthening its Web site and promoting alternate delivery methods and platforms like podcasting and cell phones.

Progressive radio talk in general, while it has made some inroads the last few years, still lags well behind conservative talk radio in listenership.

WWRL, an independent black-owned station that has also struggled in the tough economy the last couple of years, has its own hosts the rest of the day, including Daily News columnistErrol Louis in the morning, Stephanie Miller at 11 a.m. and Ed Schultz, noon-3 p.m.

Bill Hess, senior vice president of programming at Air America, said the WWRL deal makes sense for both parties.

"Making sure our listeners in the New York area continue to have access to their favorite Air America programming was a key goal of our conversations with our friends at WWRL," said Hess. " 'The Ron Reagan Show's' growth in New York has been explosive, and the opportunities to continue the success of both Montel and Rachel make this a strong package for both the network and WWRL."

Best Affiliate Network

Q: I own my own Web site and I am about to begin an affiliate program. There are so many companies to weed through – can you tell me the best affiliate network for my affiliate program?
A: As far as the best affiliate network, I don’t mean to be all philosophical and useless to you, but it’s going to be the one that best serves your needs and comes within your budget.
I would suggest that you speak with all of the networks and get a demo to see which you prefer, based on the pricepoint, features, and the people behind it.
There are so many affiliate networks out there if you combine the traditional affiliate networks and the CPA networks… literally hundreds. Also, if you are considering software that lives on your server, that adds a bunch more options.
If you’re promoting a product or service based on leads, you might want to focus on the CPA networks, while retail affiliate programs typically go with the traditional affiliate networks.
In the end, it’s a very individual choice, so unfortunately I can’t give a recommendation blindly.
