Why should I became a Game Guides Online Affiliate?
- Highest payout rate in the industry: Our 40% commission rate is one of the highest in the industry. Our top affiliates make over $1,000/month.
- Supports EULA's: None of our products break EULA's. Part of our motivation behind offering an affiliate program was to offer fansites a way to earn income without spaming their users with gold ads. Don't risk your sites reputation or alienate visitors with EULA breaking products!
- Something for everyone: We offer over 50 guides for eight games. This means we literally have a specific product for nearly every type of MMO gamer which generates huge conversion rates.
- State of the art affiliate tracking: We invested in a heavy duty affiliate tracking program that automatically tells you how to improve your sales (which banners convert best, where to place your links, etc.) with extensive data mining tools.
- Quality Products: No one wants to refer their visitors to poor products. We offer top of the line quality guides with a 200% money back satisfaction guarantee. Our product descriptions are accurate and we never spin our products just to make a quick sale. In fact the only reason we can offer such a high commission rate is that the majority of our revenue comes from repeat customers
What are some good ways to refer sales?
Write articles and miniguides: Let's say someone wants information about how to do something in an MMO. The first place they are likely to go is a search engine. For example, "How to setup Macros in World of Warcraft". When they type this query into a search engine the first results that often come up are from a number of general "articles sites". All of these top article sites allow you to include affiliate links and someone who is looking for MMO information is a great target audience for strategy guides. Furthermore, you can write one article and submit it to multiple sites such as:
Start a Blog: Start blogging about your favorite MMO and contact other MMO bloggers to exchange links. Also make sure you submit your blog to top directories like Technorati.com
Use Social Networks & Virtual Word of Mouth: Myspace, facebook, twitter, and your old fashion e-mail client.
Start a Fansite: A great way to generate traffic is to start a fansite. For example you could create a site all about the World of Warcraft Warrior class. Add a blog and a forum system and then put up a few banner ads (which we provide when you sign up as an affiliate) for the the Game Guides Online: WoW Warrior guide. We see the highest conversion ratios when affiliates target a very specific audience.
Note: We often find that if you provide an actual review of the guide it greatly increases your sales.
Run Ads: We have found that a lot of affiliates have made a great deal of money by running their own ad campaigns. This can include Pay-Per-Click services such as Google Adwords, Microsoft Adcenter, and Yahoo: Search Engine Marketing.
The best thing about these strategies is that they often cost nothing and require an initial time investment, but after that they keep generating revenue indefinitely for doing nearly nothing. It's a lot of hard work at first, but after that you just collect checks. Sales are often slow at first, but as your search engine rankings rise you start to bring in more and more traffic, which in turn helps your search engine rankings rise... which brings in more traffic... to create a sort of snowball effect.
Use Our Banners: Save some time and promote your affiliation with these banners.
