Sep 25, 2007 by jason    3 Comments    Posted under: Affiliate Marketing, Great Inventions

In a bid to try and stem the tirade about the various things that strategically distribute cow pats along the affiliate marketing highway to make our lives a total and utter misery, over the next few days there’s going to be a few blogs about great inventions in affiliate marketing… those wonderful tools or ideas that make life easier and help sprout roses from the manure!

1. Affiliate Links In Emails

Webgains and Affiliate Window are the two networks who spring to mind when it comes to sending out newsletters with links already included. No having to worry about logging in, finding the merchant, finding a deeplink code and messing about trying to create the right code. I can just simply copy the link and start writing and/or promoting the offer straight away.

It’s so simple, so useful, so effective and so appreciated. Thank you!

Apologies if other networks do this, but if you don’t please try and implement it. If I receive two emails and one contains ready to use links and one doesn’t – guess which one gets priority?

  • Couldn’t agree with you more Jason, see point 3 of my post from July at at http://www.here.org.uk/2007/07/communicating-effectively-with-affiliates-5-golden-rules.html

    I’ve also noticed that Buy.at are sending out lots of emails now with personalised deep links. Seems like the trend is catching on!

  • Great minds think alike… just occasionally mine thinks a lot slower than everyone elses ;)

    Good stuff if Buy.at are doing links as well, makes life so much easier.

  • [...] on any webpage with any look and feel (more…) · Automated Affiliate ID inserted into deeplinks (more…) · Twice-monthly payments to affiliates · Instant high profile programme announcements though [...]
