Thank you Peerfly Affiliate Network. The fine folks at Peerfly have sent their affiliates with this nice little holiday box full of goodies. Here is a list of what is inside this box that my little Isabelle is holding.

• Turkey Summer Sausage
• Beef Supper Sausage
• Well Seasoned Crackers
• Smoked Gouda Blend
• Sweet Hot Mustard
• Mini Melt Away Mints
• Cheese Slicer

Peerfly purchased this holiday box from Hickory Farms. I have not opened it yet. I am going to be putting in a new floor on my kitchen this weekend and I think my father-in-law will enjoy the Sweet Hot Mustard for lunch. It was kind of sad as my little girl really wanted to open some of these items even though it was bed time.

Thank you Peerfly and I look forward to doing more business with you in 2010.

Without a doubt my new favorite CPA network is PeerFly. I initially signed up with PeerFly through the publishers challenge website where you can earn prizes. At first there was not very many offers, the typical weight loss re-bills and other odd items. In order to try and get some prizes I jumped on their Email submits and was able to score $100 to my paypal account.

PeerFly Affiliate Network Positives

The first big positive is their increasing number of offers to the network. As of today they are up to 281 offers. Not great but they have been increasing that number very fast recently.

• Tracking Domain

On an offer, you have the choice to choose a certain tracking domain instead of their default domain.  Example:  The default tracking domain is peerfly.com.  Let’s say you wanted to run a Free Trial offer.  You can change the domain from peerfly.com to freetrial4you.com.  This way if you’re not hiding your link the person you’re selling to will see that domain instead of the weird peerfly domain.  An interesting option

• Tracking Pixel / Postback URL

This is my favorite part about PeerFly.  I know other networks have this but not all of them.  I love the fact that I can enter my prosper202 pixel in the offer myself instead of asking my AM and waiting for them to say “What’s That?”.

• Personable

So far dealing with anyone at PeerFly has been very helpful.  In each email blast they send the first thing you see is how much is in your account at the time.  Nice little reminder that you’re making bank with us.  Recently on their blog they just announced a nice little Chirstmas present to their publishers.  I can’t wait to receive mine.

• Design / Feel

The design and feel of their website great.  It’s really smooth and web 2.0 ish.  VERY easy to find what you want and need.  Right when you log in you see the 5 newest offers, 5 highest converting offers and 5 best performing offers.

PeerFly Negatives

There just isn’t many negatives with this company. They have a great tracking system in place, they are building their offers so you can’t hold that against them. I see nothing but increasing affiliates and revenues with this company.

3. Rotate Your Offers

Here are my 2 cents. (funny huh?) Ok, so in Affiliate Marketing you can make a lot of crazy things work to make you money. I can do something really newbish and profit $10 after spending $100 on PPC in Adwords or YSM or wherever. The key to affiliate marketing is to have that return on investment (ROI) percent as high as possible. So if I spend $100 I always want to try and bring in $200 revenue for a 100% ROI.

Case Study
This isn’t always as easy as it sounds. Let’s take a look at one of my campaigns I started last Monday (11/10). There is nothing to brag about here but I have spent $1,200 the past seven days on this campaign. My revenue is about $1,900 so in terms of ROI I’m sitting at 72% ROI. I can deal with that, but I want MORE. I’m so greedy.

After trying to get my cost per click down I’ve decided it’s time to rotate offers. The one offer I was using was doing great. I was converting in the high 20% mark. If you rotate a few offers you might find something that is doing better. DID I EVER. After a full 24 hour period of rotating 3 different offers it’s awesome to see my results.

Summary
My original offer was still giving me the $0.40 earning per click it had been. And the other two were $0.65 and $0.69 EPC respectively. WOW and guess what happened with my ROI recently? Just this day my ROI is 120%. Remember my one week total was sitting at 70% ROI. Just by rotating some new offers in I can see where I should be sending my clicks.

Some of you that have been “in the game” a while are probably saying, “Hey browie, this was only one day”. Agreed. While I am not going to run and stop the train I am going to let it go like this for a while and if my ROI is still hot I will switch.

If you are not rotating offers to find the best converting one then it’s time to start. The two networks that I was using to rotate offers were Affiliate.com and Hydra Network. Here is the script that I was using.

<?php
extract($_REQUEST);
// offer.php
$offer[1] = "affiliatelink.com";
$offer[2] = "affiliatelink.com";

$goto = $offer[rand(1, sizeof($offer))];

header(“Location: $goto”);
?>

*note – if you copy/paste this you may need to edit some things*

It’s that simple. Put this in a PHP file and name it whatever you want like “offer.php”. Send your visitors to that link and it will randomly select one of those offers. You can add as many as you want too. Just add another line -> $offer[3] = “afflink”;

Affiliate.com is open for business. You may have heard that CPAEmpire is now Affiliate.com. I wrote about this a few months ago on my post Affiliate dot com

Basically instead of being a one trick pony they want to bring all of their companies together so we can notice them all. Right at the front page it mentions Affiliate marketing, mobile marketing, email marketing, domain registration and design services. Taking Affiliate Marketing to the next level is their new slogan. Those services are almost everything you need to be successful in AM.

I have been a huge advocate for CPAEmpire Affiliate.com over the past year. I made my first real affiliate marketing money with them and my AM Jason is the best. Some of you will also be interested that they will be launching their own tracking software soon (don’t have an exact date yet).

I’m trying to sweet talk them into giving me somethings or affiliate.com gear for my Blog Contest.

Recently there have been two stories of Affiliate Commission fraud that I’ve come across. The first story that broke was from Jonathan Volk and one of his friends. Basically some one hacked into their affiliate sites and changed their links to the hackers own Market Leverage links. Depending on the campaign and time length this could have costed them $100′s if not thousands of dollars.

The second story that I stumbled upon was about Commission Junction. Basically, A class action suit has been brought against affiliate marketing giant ValueClick, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Commission Junction, Inc. Hijackers were able to successfully steal commissions from legitimate affiliates by using software such as adware.

So, for all of you affiliate marketers out there, be careful and keep checking your links to make sure you don’t get scammed.
