Hi all,

Have spent the last week reading a few of your posts. Must admit its great reading. Just want to pop in and say Hi and also ask this question.

Can you advertise an affiliate program in Googles Adword?

Thank-you all

Welcome to WebmasterWorld dolphin,

I'm sure you can, at least in the UK, anyone know about the US?

USA = no problem
some editors will tag you as an affiliate

I've advertised affiliate links on Adword in the past.

I've done it a couple of different ways: raw affiliate link and a domain dedicated to the affiliate program framing the link.

When I've used a domain, I've seen much better results. Same goes for using this technique in FindWhat.

>a domain dedicated to the affiliate program framing the link.

We do the same but without the frame which tends to mask the security of the order page on the target site.

Mike - What are you doing - redirecting the domain to the affiliate link?

[Mike_Mackin]

We build a complete "content" site and only direct the surfer to the order page of the affiliate when they are ready to buy via a direct link.

Alternatively we can collect all order data via OUR secure site and pass it to the affiliate which BTW cuts down on affiliate fraud. Or put another way, if you find them cheating THEY ARE HISTORY.

You must include: 'Affiliate.' in your Adword advertisement if you're an affiliate. Back button must work. No popups allowed.

Then you're ok.
