Hi, Is there any reliable method with which we can find the best converting affiliate program? In ClickBank and CJ, especially, how do we find it? Can someone please explain this, is it by virtue of EPC, if so, can you provide some tips on this? We can't ask the merchant this, because they always say their programs convert the best, and so on. It's not reliable, so I want an objective method by which we can find out. Regards, Suresh
I think that 99% programs convert, but no one can say which one will work for you. Try couple of them and you will see which one will convert for you. I'm sorry that I can't help you more, but if there would be universal answer on your question then we would all be rich.
Look at the landing page and offers and do your own critique ... is it littered with ads, no distractions, convincing copy, what about the headline, graphics, presentation ... this should give you an idea of when someone lands on your page. many times when working with affiliate managers they are happy to share their conversion data ... good luck
This programs are about selling not converting. you need to add to your website that sell this products a powerful program that can build you a downline. affiliate program is all about profit from others who sell not only your sales
Thanks, all of you. I don't think I made myself clear. I am not trying to find out how to achieve best conversions and so on, simply wondering how we can know whether a product has had good conversions in the recent past. And this couldn't be a subjective view but an objective one.
With CJ you can get an idea of how well the program is converting for others by the 3 month EPC. Of course you won't really know how those people are getting it to convert... But you can see proof that it's possible to earn a good return with that program. With ClickBank you can tell that it converts by the popularity, higher popularity means that it's making more sales. You can't really get any good idea of the conversion % but really it's all dependent on so many factors I don't know if it would be valuable for them to include the average hops per order anyway. A program may have an affiliate sending lots of untargeted traffic and that would lower the conversion % overall but ... wouldn't really be indicative of anything really.
Which are the markets you are in to? This could help for better advice. I have some on my blog that you can take a lot at: http://whiskybeach.com/blog/ - and just to let you know, if some of the programs are not converting your visitor, then you should give something from you, like a good sales-copy. Good luck.
