| Article Title :: Affiliate Program Manager's Expectations |
| |
| Merchants, particularly those who work through affiliate network, do a reasonable due diligence evaluation of affiliate or publisher sites to make sure they have a reasonable chance of leading to incremental sales, and don’t have the obvious potential to hurt their brand or reputation.For merchants, it’s a numbers game. They need to be sure that they’re receiving value from all their affiliates. A partnership with an affiliate costs the affiliate nothing to set up, and the commissions offset any site expenses, if they’re even reasonably successful across their entire program. But for a merchant such an arrangement requires monitoring, reporting, and management. For them (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Affiliate Businesses Are Real Businesses |
| |
| If you’re like most website managers or owners, you didn’t create your website solely for the purpose of generating revenue from an affiliate program.

Understanding the site visitor and why he/she is attracted to your site. The products? Information? Sense of community?
Having good content, no matter what the purpose of the site is. Make sure information is highly relevant to your site visitors and changes frequently.Using both offline and online ways to attract site visito (read full article) |

The web has changed from a transactional sales channel to one that is significantly more relationship-based. What does this mean to the affiliate who is faced with heavy competition?
