My Story of Lifetime "Unpaid" Commissions

Written by Administrator

Yesterday I found a site that I have been an affiliate for
a long period suddenly disappeared. This site let me make
about $100 commissions every month. Not much but because I
only used automatic methods like article marketing to
promote it, thus it was a nice residual income. And since
the site made sales, I have absolutely no idea why the site
and its owner disappeared from the net.

If you have been in internet marketing industry for a
period, you should know the situation in my story is very
common. Sites and their owners disappear everyday. As an
affiliate, if the site you are promoting suddenly goes away,
what leaves to you will just be lifetime unpaid
commissions...

So do you want to protect yourself from this situation?
Here are 2 suggestions that I want to share with you:

Select Affiliate Program Carefully

Is the site exist for more than 1 year? Do you know the
site owner? Heard any good things about the site? Was the
site owner written good articles? If you answer YES to any
of these questions, then the site you are going to promote
will have greater chance to keep doing business on internet.

Protect Affiliate Link

If you own a website, you should use redirection script to
protect affiliate links. For example, I use
http://www.marktse.com/recommend/affiliateclassroom.php
to redirect to my Affiliate Classroom affiliate link.

The importance of using redirection is if the site
disappears, you can redirect the landing location to
another affiliate program as soon as possible. Therefore no
traffic will lost from your past promotion.

If you do not have your own website, I highly recommend you
get one first. Or if you like you can use short url service
like tinyurl.com.

To your affiliate marketing success,
