The first thing people have to realize is that affiliate marketing is not a one-day task. It is more like an on going assignment where modifications have to be constantly made on the advertisement to ensure increased sales. You will have to try out different advertising techniques; different means of adding affiliate banners and text links to the site and maybe even join different affiliate programs to find out which affiliate program tends to perform the best. In other words, realizing that lots of trial and error is involved in affiliate marketing will help you succeed in affiliate marketing.
Second mistake most affiliates make is of having a list of about 20 affiliated banners on a single page of their site. In such situations, though most people will see the web page, they won't bother clicking on the banners and thus visit the affiliated sites as your web page looks more like a link farm to them. It is instead better to only add affiliate links or banners that have relevance to the information found on your web page. Place about three affiliate links on your web page, and you have a better chance of your visitors clicking on the links to reach the seller's web page.
Third reason people fail in affiliate marketing is insufficient advertising. There is no way you can expect sales if you just add affiliate material to your site and don?t have any traffic to your site. You have to directly advertise the affiliate links or perhaps add the affiliate links to your website to succeed in affiliate marketing. With SEO, you can improve the page rank of your website, and with this, there is an increased traffic flow to your website. Once there is an increase in traffic to your site, the higher is the number of clickthrus your affiliate links receive. This in turn leads to an increased possibility of sales, and thus you earning money through affiliate marketing.
