Ok I am in a crossroads here. On my review page that I advertise via adwords only, i have noticed that my number 3 product is getting 4 times more searches than the number reccommended product the number 3 product has also generated more sales too. Now I am wondering if I should make the number 3 choice the number 1! I am itching to do that. Part of my conscience is telling me dont, but I want to. Then again I wonder What if a previous visitor returns and sees the changes what will they think? I will look dishonest? What if some smart ass use the wayback machine or what ever and sees the change. So I am stuck here delibearating. My ads are placed on the first page for all keywords and hav decent CT rates too as you would see in the screenshot below Any suggestions...should i make #3 my number 1 choice?..What would you guys do? Here is a screen shot I just took a while ago http://img404.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nicestatsng6.jpg
Why not? If more people are opting for that product.. doesn't it make it the #1 in the sense that more people pick it? .. think about it
Why would you worry about that being ethical? Wouldn't you have to then also worry that the products you are reviewing you probably never even bought, or actually used?
Wow, I've seen many worse cases of being unethical. I would definitely recommend taking the #3 product and putting it as #1, no harm done really.
So I should go for it then.... By the way ..I am using a pen name on the review site...so my ass is covered....and when I registered the domain name I paid for pricacy...so yeah... Ok..thanks for the input guys.. I see what are the other opinions
I usually rank them based on performance anyways, I'll do direct linking via ppc or a redirect to each of three sites, whichever order they perform in they rank in when I make my permenant ranking style landing page. Isnt the opinion of the masses more important than your own?
Actually the reason the number 1 product is number 1 rated on my site is because the vendor actually gave me a copy of his procuct, so I was able to gave a detail review in comparison to the other 2 products. I did write to the other 2 vendors for copies of their products with no avail. These 3 products have good gravity and popularity in clickbank market place.
Make the #1 product the one that will give you the best bang for buck. Don't worry about whether you think that product in your own mind is #1 or not, because that's not why you setup your website and entered into the affiliate marketing ratrace Do what's going to make you the most money.
Yep. Agree with all of the above. You're not here to make people feel good. You got into this cause you wanted money. Get the money.
Most people order their products in descending order of commission. Few care about which product is actually best...
Ok guys I have changed the product the ranked #3 to number 1....lets wait for the results and see what happen..thanks again for the advice and input.....
