I really need a hand and would really appreciate some help. I'm the Admin of www.iAudiophile.net along with another dude, but I am taking over slowely (seeing that my partner has a lot on his hands). Now, we do have advertising on our site, but it hasn't been looked after in ages and we are not doing great money wise (we are covering our server costs + a little overhead). I know for a fact that there is a lot more money in the site, seeing that we recently won a new Sponsor called Noreve. They make leather protection cases for electronics devices and through the affiliate program with them we well roughly 20 cases month. My terribly uneducated guess is that with a proper affiliate program I could sell 10 times the amount of mp3 players than I can sell cases. Our site get's roughly 0.1 million visitors a mont (according to google analytics) and about 40% of these are new visitors. About 40% of our visitors come from USA and another 40% from Europe. The other 20% are the rest of the world. I need a proper affiliate program where I can market Cowon iAudio Mp3 players in America and Europe with just one single partner. We already have Amazon, but they are not doing too good. Google Ads do real bad, because they usually display ads for the iPod Nano or something. If anyone has an idea I would really appreciate that! If you really get us going and earning lots of cash I will not forget your help and would even be willing to send you an mp3 player (an iAudio of course) (provided your advice really does help though). Many thanks for your advice, Martin Sorry that I can't make the link clickable - I am a newbie member and I guess you have this system in place for spam protection.
Have you tried Commission Junction? I don't know if the specific product you're looking for is there, but give any of the big merchant brokers a try. CJ, Linkshare, etc. They will usually pay much more than Amazon, which is lousy.
Well, I just took a closer look at CJ and apart from the Service Agreement being scary as hell I have a problem with this: „Note: Your functional currency settings will establish the currency used to calculate and display all financial content in this account. All functional currency settings are permanent and may not be reversed or changed once established for a particular account.“ I currently live in Germany, but will be moving to England in two months, so I can't deal with these guys (yet). Thanks for the suggestion. Has anyone else got any ideas?
CJ is one of the biggest and most established affiliate networks out there. I'm pretty sure they can handle whatever problems you have.
