    Are you using direct linking or building your own landing pages when promoting offers by affiliate networks? What are the pros & cons for each one?

    Here is my initial list:

    Direct linking

    Pros: no coding
    Cons: returning traffic is not counted. PPC campaigns compete with other affiliates over which ad is displayed.

    Landing page
    Pros: Returning traffic can generate more conversions.
    Cons: coding is required.


    For the landing pages offer, there are 2 versions:
    • Pre sale page
    • Iframe of current offer
    Which one are you using?
