Affiliate Program Clues-5 Affiliate Program Points To Consider Before Signing Up Or Jumping Ship

The fact is, legitimate affiliate programs do exist, but they are very few and far in-between. Youll do yourself a service to recognize which affiliate program will offer the highest return on your investment and the time youll be sinking in, if you know the following five deal makers before making your affiliate program guru any richer

-How Did You Hear About The Affiliate Program?

Did you do a search on the internet for yourself, or did you receive an e-mail telling you about the next big internet thingamajig that will have you sitting on a yacht, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Warren Buffet? If you did your own search, then perform your due diligence based on these tips on the affiliate program and make your own decision.

If you received an e-mail bulletin guiding you in the direction of the affiliate program, my advice would be to cling tightly to your wallet, because the main profit generator is most likely in the e-mail list which your name happens to be on.

-What Type of Affiliate Program Is Your Guru Pushing?

Meaning, is it free to join and is the affiliate program based on offering the general public a unique product or service that anyone
can easily use to provide a solution to a problem,(for example, competent anti-spy ware) or is it based on your making a purchase and then recruiting you to offer the public visions of sitting on a yacht with the likes of Warren Buffet? If its the latter, then chances are, the only ones wholl be
laughing all the way to the bank is your guru and and a few insiders.

-What is The Google or Alexa Page Rank of Your Affiliate Program Gurus Main Website?

Ignore this critical indicator at your own peril. Google and Alexa provide traffic stats based on the number of hits a page receives from unique visitors on a daily basis average.

This means that if your affiliate program gurus page rank is insignificant, how does your guru achieve the kind of results theyre peddling by selling a product no one even really sees?

Chances are the affiliate program relies on a large database of names or joint venture e-mail lists to produce short-term, high volume traffic to make sales. Dont fall for it.
Sustainable profit relies on sustainable traffic and sustainable traffic is not built on an email list alone but by applying the five cornerstones of successful website promotion.
Why do you think it seems like the same super gurus are always unveiling a new product every time you hop out of bed? They probably ran out of suckers for the last one.

-Does Your Affiliate Program Offer Use of A Website?

Provided that youll be offering a valuable product or service when and if you join, does your affiliate program offer you a ready-made website, or will you be allowed to host your own landing page with resources provided by your guru? This point is critical because every internet marketer worth their salt knows that a huge profit potential rests in an e-mail list. Hosting your own landing page will provide the opening to start building your own list of clients.

-Once You Join, Does Your Affiliate Program Constantly Use Hard Sell Techniques Towards Affiliates Themselves?

That question should be a vital indicator that it may be time to bail. If every instant you come back from the fridge, your guru is
pushing their own product or add-ons that you just have to buy only if youre really serious about being on a yacht and rubbing shoulders with the likes of Warren Buffet then you might be caught in an Amway type business model. It will be great fun for your guru, but for younot so much.

A legitimate affiliate program directs its marketing efforts towards the general public, not to its own affiliate network. If this sounds familiar then chances are, thats where the main profit generator for the program is actually rooted and even on your worst day, you can always find a much better affiliate program on the web.

An affiliate program that offers all these deal makers will be your best bet for long term success and now you cant say you havent been warned.
