Affiliate Directories
We are compiling a list of affiliate
directories. You should submit your new affiliate program
to as many affiliate directories as possible. This is a
bit tedious but very important and only has to be done once.
Spot in affiliate e-zines
There are several affiliate
marketing e-zines on the net. Putting an ad in for your
affiliate program should attract affiliates. Always check
how many subscribers an e-zine has to see how cost effective
it is.
Affiliate finding software
There are software packages
designed to help you hunt down sites that should make good
affiliates so that you can contact them. We recommend SuperAffiliateTracker.
If you purchase through us you'll get it at the discounted
price of $89.99 (normally $149.95). Select affiliate finding
software from the options on our purchasing
page.
Affiliate forums
This is where affiliates hang
out. Most affiliate forums
have a board where you can post a message on your new affiliate
program. You can also signup as a member and participate,
this will give you added exposure.
Competition affiliates
Using google you can do reverse
lookups for links to your competitors sites. Then you can
approach these affiliates, and try to win them over. The
individual commission rates feature is very useful in this
situation. Do a reverse lookup on google by typing 'host:
competitordomain.com'.
