A quote from Chris:

"Sam - I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for all that you have done with Maximum Paid Surveys. As you know I promote many affiliate products online but from day one I have noticed a significant difference between your program and the other programs I promote. Your personal dedication to working with your affiliates has always impressed me. In today's world of affiliate programs you stand out from the pack. Despite your success with Maximum Paid Survey you have gone above and beyond in making sure my needs as an affiliate are looked after. I can not say the same for 99% of the other products I promote. Maximum Paid Surveys is my top converting program and it has the
lowest return rate. These two stats tell me that not only have you created a top selling site but your customers are also happy with the product. As an affiliate selling Maximum Paid Surveys what more can I ask for? Thank you for everything.
I look forward to continued success for both of us."

Web site analysis

You are probably wondering how Chris achieved such success. A careful analysis of www.top-work-from-home.com reveals the following

  

Chris focuses on two main affiliate programs that he promotes intensively on the Home Page. Maximum Paid Surveys gets the highest exposure with 11 links. The second affiliate program gets 9 links. You can find other affiliate programs with fair exposure, but nothing compared to the top two programs.

  The top two programs aren’t competing with each other: Maximum Paid Surveys is about surveys and mystery shopping. The second program is about data entry. These opportunities are complementary for his site

  Link location is of strategic importance. You can find links on the top, middle, bottom and borders of the Home Page BUT these links aren’t equivalent in weight. The top third of the page is the most important. Seven out of 11 links to Maximum Paid Surveys are located there! You can find two more links in the middle and two last links toward the bottom of page. It’s a smart way to distribute links for top affiliate programs.

 

Links are emphasized with graphics and enthusiastic recommendations to drive visitors’ attention to them.

Your take away

   Give your priority to affiliate programs converting high. Chris sticks with Maximum Paid Surveys because the conversion rate is awesome and the return ratio is the lowest among survey sites. He has tested them all and he knew to pick up the best in class.

  Focus on two affiliate programs that will be your top profit makers. You can promote many sites but you need to know that you will make the most money with two or three sites that were carefully selected.

  Don’t be afraid to be redundant. Multiply links to your top affiliate programs on your Home Page. Think of 9-11 links for your top picks.

  Give massive exposure to your leading programs on the top third of your Home Page and add 4 more links in the middle and bottom.

  Your best affiliate programs should be complementary and not competitive. It will increase your profit potential and provide a better offering to your visitors.

 

These practices can be followed to run a top-notch affiliate web site. To boost your bottom line, look at your site in a fresh way and consider how you can implement these optimal practices. It’s easy to do and the impact on your profit can be huge.

To your profit!
