It seems like everyone in the Affiliate Marketing world is blogging about how great the Miami Affiliate Summit was, so I thought I would add my two cents worth.
If you’ve never been to an Affiliate Summit, now might be the time to make plans for the next one. It will be in Vegas, February 24-26, 2008.
The Affiliate Summit is THE BEST place to network, and pick the brains of some of the top Affiliate Marketers from all over the World. Everyone is there to exchange information - and even the Super Affiliates are approachable and willing to talk. Just go, ask questions, take in all the info, and you’ll know what to do with your Affiliate Marketing business for the next year!
Oh, and did I mention that the parties are spectacular, the food great, and the Seminars full of excellent information?
Just take my word for it, no matter what level you are at, after you have been to one of these events, you will never miss another one!
Since you can read all about the happenings on other Affiliate Marketing Blogs, I thought I would pass on a few tidbits of useful information that I learned at the seminars. Here goes:
- When using Adsense Ads, you will get the greatest click-through rate with the Large Rectangle (336×280). Use a white background, and blue heading with black text. DO NOT use a border.
- When using Video, be sure to add captioning to the Video. You can do this on YouTube after you save your video.
- There is a free tool called SEOQuake that gives you a snapshot of a bunch of information at the top of your page. I can’t go into complete detail here - it’s basically a Google Snapshot of page information like Alexa Rank, Page Rank, etc. I can say that one of the Super Affiliates I chatted with was VERY excited to get this tool on her computer. I think I’ll follow in her footsteps and do the same.
- Don’t forget to use Keyword Research tools to target Long Tail Keywords. One of the most popular tools mentioned was Keyword Discovery, but Yahoo’s Keyword Selector Tool has been reincarnated and/or is still available.
OK, that’s it for now. I”ll be posting more of the great Affiliate Marketing tips I learned under more specific headings so you can find them easily in the future.
Stay on the lookout for Pay Per Click (PPC) Expert Tricks, Website Building Secrets, Landing Page Optimization, and much more!
