Why does this process work so well? It's simple; people want to see and know all about a product before pull out their credit card! Here are some points to be sure to include in your affiliate product review pages:

* Always have an uncluttered web page with blocks of text that are easy to read and understand. If you crowd a great deal of information, few people will read all of it. It has been scientifically proven that most people read only about one-third of information contained in any sales page or review. So, make your web page product review easy to scan and grab specific points from without reading every single word.

* Use highlights to call out specific important points. Again, this goes back to fact that few people will read all words. If a specific area is highlighted in yellow or another bright color, their eyes will be drawn to that specific region and that may be all that they read. If you can convince reader with you highlighted section that they simply MUST know all about this product, then they will probably read more. If you do not grab their attention with compelling information, they will probably continue to another web page.

* Specific benefits to reader must be described in very few words. Tell reader exactly what product will do for them and call them to action!

What type of markets am I talking about? Well, there are quite a few. Industries like travel, web hosting, and dating come to mind. One just has to look at typical commissions being offered to marketers to promote these types of products to realize that there is quite a large mark-up on these services, and therefore mounds of competition.

However, there is one industry that trumps them all: financial industry. Whether it is mortgages, loans, or investments, there is simply no other market that even comes close to amount of fierce competition and ultra-high commissions than financial products. The financial market that I'd like to discuss in this article is credit card market.

"In Short, It's Where The Money Is... Literally."

Credit card companies have been marketing their cards online since early days of affiliate marketing. Back then, they had affiliate programs that would pay out anywhere from $10 to $20 per completed credit card application. With increased competition, and more people putting their trust into web than ever before, this situation has drastically changed.

Now, online marketers can pull in a commission of around $30 to $40 for each referral and completed application. This is more than double commissions being made as recently as five years ago, and more accurately reflects high profit margins and lifetime value of customer to credit card company.
