As many industrious merchants can attest, one is constantly looking for quality locations to place links. And forward-thinking affiliates and smart merchants can make this easier if they start thinking: “How can I monetize my site without ticking off my viewers?”

After all, running lots of ads that don’t relate to your audience will succeed in driving traffic away from your site, not towards it.

A smart merchant looks at offers that will naturally be of interest to their audience and finds an unobtrusive way to place those offers into their site. That’s where the “Goodbye” (or Thank You) page comes in.

If your website or co-registration pages have a last page, you have a natural place in which to monetize an offer. Your viewers have already completed your forms, monetizing your traffic, but with the Goodbye page offer you add one last opportunity to make some cash before they click off.

The psychology of an enticing creative and related offer showing up on your Goodbye page is simple.

If your viewer has already indicated interest in your website and earlier offers, showing them one last attractive offer on the way out the door can lead to conversions, like that candy bar you picked up the last time you were in line buying groceries.

So before you show your valued viewers the door, be sure to add a Goodbye page offer.
