These few important affiliate marketing tips will help you choose the best affiliate program for your unique needs.
So, how do you go about choosing the right affiliate marketing program? Well, there are a number of considerations when looking at different programs.
Besides the product itself and the company you’ll be representing (make sure you do your homework here), one of the primary considerations will be the type of performance base your program rewards you by.
Programs will pay per click for ads that you place for products and or services; pay per lead, in which cast a prospect simply fills out a short information form; and still others pay a percentage per sale.
It will be up to you to look at how your efforts will be rewarded and to also check into how other affiliates rate each program. Some programs require that you have a website in place with a minimum amount of daily web traffic to promote their product and others not so much.
When making your decisions, keep in mind that it’s easier to get a click than it is to get someone to fill out a form; which is in turn easier than helping someone make a purchase. Depending on your audience and how well a program can be expected to perform, make your selections accordingly.
Another very important consideration is the level of support and training you receive from the program you select. From the perspective of using these programs to increase you knowledge of online marketing, I’d rate this point at the top of my list for choosing a program to join.
Finding a program that offers you the tools and support to learn and do well should be a number one priority in your selection process.

Not only is a webpage (blog or website) necessary, it is the key to the success. Building a webpage full of valuable content is what drives targeted traffic to your site and will get people seeking more and in turn click on the affiliate connection. I have some great information that surrounds this topic. I would be happy to pass it along. If you are serious and want to do research, feel free to contact me through my profile.
BEST WISHES!

@diamondseo have you figured out a way to get it to work? i got the rss feed to post on blogger, but the links are not hidden at all.
i tried to post direct adds from clickbank, that look like adsense, and they didn’t work at all.

It depends on the strategy you want to use. If you want to market a product and be the authority affiliate for that product, use the product name or a keyword that applies to it. If you want to target an entire market, focus on that.

I’m a brand new, wet-behind-the-ears noob, and have been researching alot about affiliate marketing. If anyone could help me out at all, I have many questions and would be thrilled to have even a handful of them answered. I believe that all I need right now to get started is just setting up a website or blog for it. If someone could help me out there, I think that I could get my feet under me, and get going. Anyone?

For gaining traffic to your site without cost, you will be looking at some time being spent.
Back links are very important and can arguably be the best way to increase your website exposure. Effective back links are one way links (meaning not a link exchange) from other websites to yours. For example, had you put a link to your website in your question, you would have created a back link as yahoo instantly indexes the Q&A section of their website. Even Google picks it up. You can build back links in placing your url in ads such as craigslist, creating or comenting on blogs on wordpress and myspace as well as other blogging websites. These are all methods that give you white hat back links.
Caution: do not pay for your back links through back linking companies. This is considered black hat SEO and will actually drop your ranking or get you suspended all together from the big boys of search engines.
As far as paid methods, look at pay per click as a great option. PPC is the process of advertising your business on a search engine within the sponsored results. You choose what keyword phrases you are willing to pay for being in, I.e. Website design.For cost effectiveness, consider narrowing your results as much as possible. For example, Sacramento website design instead of website design would be a more focused result and would by proxy cost much less than the broad term.
SIA Professional Services has an articles section in their website which has a ton of website marketing tips that should help you at http://www.siaservices.net just go to their blog or their articles section.
Be sure you are submitting your website on a regular basis, especially whenever you are doing some good updates on your site. The search engines will see your site being updated on a regular basis and index you accordingly. There are some free submission sites, but I have seen in my experience that those don't nearly perform as well on a regular basis as professional SEO and marketing companies.
There is plenty more that you can do, but hopefully this give you a good starting point.
Good Luck and hope this helps.
