2. Test and track your ads and promotions for your affiliate programs.

Tracking and testing your ads will show you exactly which ads, promotions and affiliate programs pay off most for you and are excellent choices for you to continue to promote.

3. Publish an ezine.

Your ezine will give you a powerful way to promote your affiliate programs to your subscribers.

Choose affiliate programs that relate to content of your ezine and that make it worth your while to promote them.

4. Promote your affiliate programs by recommending their products.

You could recommend your affiliate programs to your ezine subscribers in your publisher's note or you could create a recommended resources section where you promote your affiliate programs in every issue.

You could also recommend your affiliate programs to your visitors by creating a recommended affiliate programs section where you list your favorite affiliate programs along with descriptions of their products or services.

In addition, you could create a best affiliate programs section that helps you build up your second tier by listing affiliate programs that have paid off most for you.

Make your product reviews honest and hype f~ree and post them on your site along with your other articles.

A good way to create your ads is to look at ad copy on site of business you want to promote and also ads they provide for their affiliates to use, and use their unique selling proposition or USP to write your ads.

The importance of choosing appropriate program(s) for your website has been in my opinion one of most overlooked aspect when taking into consideration which program(s) to join. In response to this phenomenon that seem's to plague most webmasters these days, I have decided to compile this article on how to choose right affiliate program(s) for your website.

I am writing this article because I had to find out difficult way how to choose a program(s). From my experiences, here are several of top factors you should take into consideration while deciding which program(s):

Sustainability and Stability

As saying goes: "you can skin a sheep many times, but once you kill it its dead" (Or something like that). Your probably thinking, is this guy insane? (I am still trying to figure that out), but that saying is relevant to this section because it tells you that once a program discontinues its side of bargain, its in gutter. What I'm getting at is that you need to find stability in program your joining because if you join a program that was made recently , how do you know they have proper amount of clients or money to pay all participants what they deserve. A rule for those who haven't figured it out yet and those who have forgotten: If it has been around for a while then it has credibility,a reputation to live up, chances are they have enough money saved away to pay when their business is in a bad position and they have developed their program.

Now that you have decided that program you want is financially stable we can move on to next part.

On Time:

Do they pay you in a reasonable timeframe? is a question we should all ask before joining any programs because eventually you will start to wonder why you haven't seen a paycheck, even after you have sent them hundreds or thousands of referrals. Only to find out that your paycheck will come in six months.(I might be exaggerating just a little but it's because I'm trying to prove a point).
