I am new to affiliate marketing and wanted to know, do networks allow sites to be built specifically for affiliate marketing? What I mean is, can I get a domain just to put a landing page on it pushing an offer, or will they require it to be a site that has more content? I am sure more content would be favorable, but can it be done with just a landing page? I signed up with Clickbooth and CJ so far. And when you sign up with advertisers they will want to see your site. I don't really want to create a content filled site for each niche I decide to market, only to have it fail or do mediocre...and waste all that extra time on the content. Thanks for any insight.
Yup, you can make landing pages to promote an offer. Google Adwords has something called a Quality Score which is what determines if your landing page is "good" or not. To make sure your Quality Score is good, you're going to want to put some content such as a page for About Us, Privacy, Contact, Terms and Conditions, etc. I suggest you type up a few things for those pages and you can just keep that information to use on all the landing page sites you promote. Check your Private Messages!
Thanks. I am familiar with the quality score. I was thinking more about the affiliate networks or the actual advertisers requiring their offers to be on a site with more content than just trying to push their offers.
Merchants in CJ like see a site to see what type of site their ad will go on. CPA networks like Clickbooth are used to affiliates having landing page sites so may not be as strict. Keep in mind though for a good Adwords score it helps to have several pages and a site built out with about us and contact us pages. So if you are focusing on a specific niche, like health, build out a site with general content about health to satisfy G and merchants. Then on that site you can run different types of health related offers and test out different landing pages.
