Evaluate Good Affiliate Programs Checklist There are many different affiliate programs to consider representing. Before you sign up for a program, there are some key criteria to evaluate. This handy checklist can help you make sure you understand what you’re agreeing to before you start promoting.

Payouts - Look for programs that offer a good commission percentage. For example, Amazon.com generally pays between 4% and 6% for a sale. Other companies may pay as much as 50% or higher. You may also want to look at what they pay for. Do they pay for a visit or a click or do they pay only on purchases? You’ll find most pay for a sale

Cookies - Cookies are markers that tell a company where visitors are coming from. It helps them know which affiliates are sending visitors and when they’re sent. Companies can last anywhere from a few days to a lifetime. Let’s say a company sets their cookies at 30 days and your visitor makes a purchase on day 31, you don’t get the commission. If they buy on day 29, you get the commission. Ideally, you want lifetime cookies, which means that when your visitor decides to make a purchase, you get the credit for it. If the cookie only lasts a week or a month, you will miss out on those delayed and subsequent sales.

Conversions - Does the company sales page convert? Will it turn the prospects you send them into customers? If the sales page isn’t effective, then you’re putting effort to pre-sell and then not making any money. Look for programs that have a high converting sales page.

Evaluate their Earnings Per Click - Earnings Per Click (EPC) is metric used to determine the average earnings generated as a result of 100 clicks on an affiliate marketing link or ad. This is an important number. Think about the difference between making one sale for every 100 clicks versus 10 sales for every 100 clicks. It’s a reflection of their sales and conversion process.

Marketing Support – You’ll find a variety of support levels. Some affiliate programs give you tons of content to use to market their products. Others give you an affiliate link and that’s it. The rest is up to you. Some also offer incentives, contests, and they work hard to make it fun and profitable. The more support and motivation an affiliate company provides, the more you have to use and profit from.

Reputation - Check out the reputation of the affiliate programs you’re considering. Do they treat their customers well? Is their product top quality? Many affiliate marketers try out the products before they promote them. Consider doing this. You want to make sure that you create a solid reputation for your own business and that means representing businesses that are aligned with your values and vision.

Payment Practices - How often does the program pay commissions? Some affiliate programs pay quarterly; some pay as soon as you earn a commission. Slow payers aren’t necessarily bad programs. It’s just nice to know when you can expect your money. Also, is there a minimum you have to reach before they’ll send you a check? Some companies have a set minimum, $100 for example, and you don’t get paid until you reach that amount.

Relevance and Promotion Potential - Be realistic when evaluating an affiliate product based on how you might be able to promote it. Some products are easily woven into your current content and marketing materials. Others may require a lot of additional content. That’s fine as long as you plan ahead. Keep this checklist handy and use it to help evaluate the affiliate programs you’re considering. You might create a data sheet for each affiliate program to help you plan your content and income goals.

Most especially now that the company is public property. In order to keep the shareholders and users of its engines happy, the quality of the returned results are given extreme importance.

For this same reason, doing the wrong things in the Adsense and other forms of advertisements, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in a severe penalty, may get you banned and even have your account terminated. Nothing like a good action taken to keep wrongdoers from doing the same things over again.

So for those who are thinking of getting a career in Adsense, do not just think of the strategies you will be using to generate more earnings. Consider some things first before you actually get involved.
Hidden texts. Filling your advertisement page with texts to small to read, has the same color as the background and using css for the sole purpose of loading them with rich keywords content and copy will earn you a penalty award that is given to those who are hiding links.

Page cloaking. There is a common practice of using browser or bot sniffers to serve the bots of a different page other than the page your visitors will see. Loading a page with a bot that a human user will never see is a definite no-no. This is tricking them to click on something that you want but they may not want to go to.

Multiple submissions. Submitting multiple copies of your domain and pages is another thing to stay away from. For example, trying to submit a URL of an Adsense as two separate URL’s is the same as inviting trouble and even termination.

Likewise, this is a reason to avoid auto submitters for those who are receiving submissions. Better check first if your domain is submitted already an a certain search engine before you try to submit to it again. If you see it there, then move on. No point contemplating whether to try and submit there again.

Link farms. Be wary of who and what are you linking your Adsense to. The search engines know that you cannot control your links in. But you can certainly control what you link to. Link farming has always been a rotten apple in the eyes of search engines, especially Google. That is reason enough to try and avoid them. Having a link higher than 100 on a single page will classify you as a link farm so try and not to make them higher than that.
