When you are a customer, what information do you need to know to be convinced to make a purchase or give a free trial a chance? With the web being such a resourceful tool, we all have a tendency to research and shop around for the best deals before making any purchase. Why not make this work in your favor? Let the customer do the research they need to do all in one place—your website! Discuss the competition and why the product you are promoting is best, giving the customer the information they need to compare the product to the others in the industry. Highlight the specific features that set the product apart from the competition. The trick here is to know your product, and to know it well! Do you know the features that set the product apart from the competition? What is new about this product that may entice a former customer to take another look? If you don’t know, read up! Find the product websites and stay current on any latest news/enhancements that are released. By staying up-to-date, you become a more credible website and also create another opportunity to get back in front of your audience!

When promoting a product on your website, it is a good idea to have your links open in a new window so that visitors do not navigate away from your website. Just follow these simple directions and you will have all your links opening in a new window in nothing flat! Log into your affiliate account, select the offer to promote and then the banner ad or text ad you will be working with. Copy and paste the HTML in its proper place.

After the first line of text in the HTML code you just need to insert target="_blank" in between the last " and the > sign.  For example:

First line of text:
<a href="http://www.example.com/>text</a>

First line of text with additional code:
<a href= "http://www.example.com/" target="_blank">text</a>

Be sure to test to ensure everything works correctly!
