Have you ever wondered what exactly is up with affiliate?  This informative report can give you an insight into  everything you've ever wanted to know about affiliate.

Millions are paying to get a ride on the Information  Super Highway everyday. Now, it is widely known that the  Internet is an accessible resource of many income-generating  activities. Whether you belong to a private sales company or  you are just interested in internet marketing, PPC affiliate  programs can be a powerful venue to make money from the Internet.  A partnership with an affiliate merchant is a win-win situation  for the merchant and the affiliate: sales are soaring because  of exposure and traffic while the affiliate is earning good cash.

To make things much simpler: the affiliate merchant provides a  strip of advertisement and pays you when someone clicks on the  ad's link. You can get a commission of $0.10 to $0.30 for every  click, but it sometimes it can go higher depending on your  merchant affiliate. Sometimes, merchants require a quota ($1.4  for every 1000 clicks). Plus, you can get discounts from your  merchant affiliates if you happen to like their products too.  You can just kick back and relax while your website is generating  cash. Sounds easy, doesn't it?

What is PCC Affiliate Program?

PPC means pay-per-click, wherein you get in partnership with an  affiliate company that literally pays you for every click. There  are actually two types of PCC affiliate programs – those who pay  a commission based on the number of clicks and the other based on  the sales. The pay-per-click scheme is much more popular than  pay-per-lead because the affiliate gets paid by just clicking the  ad, regardless of whether the visitor buys from the affiliate  merchant or not. Plus the chances of a visitor purchasing something  from the affiliate merchant are not really that high.

In choosing an affiliate program, read the fine print carefully – some  pay-per-click programs get the ratio of the number of people who  went to your site and the actual people who clicked on the ad. If you  have a heavily targeted website, this can hurt your earnings.

How do I start?

Of course, you need to have a website. Depending on your target  audience, choose the best affiliate merchant that is most related to  your topic. For example, your website is about Carpentry then you can  search for affiliate programs that sell tools used in carpentry.

However, if you don't have a website, that's not a problem. You can put  up a content site about absolutely anything under the sun like 'Taking  Care of Dogs' or 'Decorating your own Home.' But wait, its not over yet.  We are faced by a dilemma – on how to increase traffic! You first need  to get internet surfers to see your website, then the ad.

How do I increase my traffic?

First, design your website in such a way that it will attract internet  users. A user-friendly site is always recommended so that the customers  will know which one to click. Take into consideration the look and feel  of the advertisement. If it doesn't look professional, most likely, users  will just ignore it. Place the ad on a strategic location – one where  users can see it clearly. Visibility of the ad is always important.

Another way is to post a link to your website in forums, web communities,  ezine articles or bulletin boards. However, this method requires a lot of  effort – that defeats your purpose of getting easy money in the first  place! The key is to do something once and forget about it. It's like  putting your business on autopilot. To maintain you pay-per-click business,  be sure to track down site activity, so you are updated on how much money  you are making.

Can I make more money?

If you think you can go to the next level, you can try a two-tier affiliate  program. This gives you the power to recruit affiliates. Other than the  money you get from your website's clicks, you will also get a percentage  of what your affiliate generates. Some companies give 30% to a soaring 50%  commission on all referral sales.

Remember, you should be able to manage and monitor your affiliate program.  If you can recruit more affiliates, then you can get paid more without even  moving a finger! Choose affiliates that can most likely attract more internet  users and bring more traffic. You just have to know the right people.   Sometimes it's tough to sort out all the details related to this subject,  but I'm positive you'll have no trouble making sense of the information  presented above.
