A Successful Satellite TV Affiliate WebsiteWritten by Nick Smith
Satellite TV has exploded on scene during last decade, providing expanded channel offerings and new technologies that were not previously available from regular television. When "mini-dishes" were developed and satellites put in place by Dish Network and Direct TV, satellite TV became available to almost everyone. Now, more than 23 million households subscribe to satellite TV with thousands more joining all time. The major players in satellite TV have moved some or all of their operations online, prompted both by cost-effectiveness of automating systems and relatively inexpensive advertising market available. Many satellite TV providers have developed affiliate programs to increase their visibility and sales online, and that is why you are reading this article. Below are five things to consider when building a satellite TV affiliate website. This list is not comprehensive, but will at least get you started down right path. Identify and cater to your audience. Satellite TV service is relatively inexpensive, and there are few Americans that seem to be able to go without a television blaring somewhere nearby.

Choose one demographic to target and provide them with type of information and content about satellite TV you expect hem to ask about. If you can resolve some of their doubts before they click through to he sponsoring website, you will have increased your likelihood of receiving a check. Mask your affiliate links.

Some people shopping around online for satellite TV service may not be wary of affiliate links, but others may, so it is best to be overly cautious. Searching

Q. Can you tell me benefits of publishing an online quiz versus a printed one?A. Well, first benefit of publishing an online quiz that comes to mind is fact that it's an outstanding way to drive traffic to your web site. People love quizzes and they take ones that are printed in magazines all of time. It's reasonable to assume that if these same people knew about existance of an online quiz that they would beat a path to your home page. Another great feature of offering an online quiz is that you can change subject regularly. In fact, you could offer a subscription where members sign up to be notified whenever a new online quiz gets posted. An online quiz can also be used as a sales tool. One of best ways of accomplishing this is to link your quiz questions to affiliate sites where you earn money when people make purchases. Then you can have a "scavenger hunt" online quiz where people have to visit those sites to find quiz answers.
