Top 10 affiliate mistakes most IMers Make

Many partners face the same problems. “I spent a lot of money and effort driving traffic to my site. But my commission does not cover the advertising costs,” he said. Familiar? If you still think that creating a site is enough, join the affiliate program and wait for the money accrued to your personal account, sorry, but you are wrong. So let’s talk about the mistakes of the most popular partner.

I’m waiting for results immediately

Problem

I bought a domain, created a travel blog, posted the affiliate link on my site. Where is the money?

What should I do?

Write useful content for users. Submitting a link or form in redundant text is not enough. Since there is no free money, you have to constantly work and put in a lot of effort. Even if you devote 1-2 hours a day to the development of your project, it will soon be repaid and bring a desirable income. But not instantly.

Submitting false promotional materials

Problem

I’ve heard it’s better to place the ads in the header. But somehow it’s not working in my project.

What should I do?

In fact, placing ads under the header is a bad idea because the user comes to your site for content and immediately scrolls through the site’s header. To learn more about the right place for your banner or search form, read the article “How to choose the right place for ads”. Do not rely on widgets or headers in sidebars (columns to the left or right of the main content block). In practice, users do not pay attention to sidebars and their content because they are used to annoying ads there. It is better to place meaningful links in the text and widgets in the articles, suggesting to use them in the future.

Applying the White Label on a new site

Problem

No purchases using White Label.

What should I do?

Do not White Label our flights and hotels when dealing with low brand awareness blogs or projects as this will reduce the conversion of visitors into customers. Also, White Label is not indexed by search robots except the home page. Therefore, if you are planning to promote your site in search engines, it is better to embed the search form.

Low conversion complaint

Problem

There is traffic but no reservations.

What should I do?

Make sure your traffic is travel driven and learn the keywords that keep users coming to you. If your users search a lot but don’t buy anything, you should review the report on popular destinations in your personal account. It will help you find out what goals your users are interested in. You may be writing about some exotic destinations, but visitors may only be interested in the availability and cost of flights to those destinations. Don’t forget to explore the world news as they significantly affect the travel market.

spam

Problem

I posted my affiliate link on thematic forums and communities on social networks, but they banned me.

What should I do?

Post links on your own sites or third-party platforms with the permission of the administration. We think that you will not like your community on the social network to be spammed with unsolicited unnecessary advertisements. And the owners of the affected communities come to us and scold our brand. So let’s get along and win honestly.

Do not place our offers on Malware Applications

Problem

I created a browser extension but they banned me.

What should I do?

Creating toolbars and extensions that modify important system files without user consent is strictly prohibited in many countries, not only by law but also by our own rules. You can create toolbars and extensions, but if you are unsure of your opinion, please contact us.

Using traffic from PPC to bring users to Jetradar/Hotellook

Problem

I provisioned Jetradar/Hotellook with a thousand users from PPC. Where is the money?

What should I do?

Aiming to lure users to all domain options of Jetradar and Hotellook, PPC is not only banned, but ignored even in personal account. You can direct traffic from ads to your sites and White Label, but keep in mind that using our brand names in ads is prohibited.

Using the names of affiliate agents and airlines in your domain

Problem

I bought the deltaairlinezzzz.com domain, applied search forms, but they banned me.

What should I do?

Choose another area. Our partners (ticket agencies and airlines) pay us as well as you. When you use the name of another brand in your site address, you interfere with the promotion of their resources. And they have the right to sue you for trademark infringement. If the agency or airline comes to us with similar complaints, we will be forced to ban the partner.

Attacking the customer support service in a snap

Problem

I signed up for the network, but I don’t know how to start. What type of traffic is allowed? What is an average partner’s commission for airfare sales?

What should I do?

These and similar questions are frequently asked by beginners. That’s why we’ve provided a knowledge base with helpful articles on first steps, rules, and more. If you can’t find an answer to your question, try entering the search box on the page. If that doesn’t help either, please contact us at [email protected]

Accusing our company and our employees of stealing

Problem

I don’t understand why my income is different each time. I made a reservation, but you saw fit.

What should I do?

We do not deceive anyone. Our company has been in business for a long time and we already have many well-known and respected investors. We are audited by the company belonging to the “Big Four” every three months. We are also concerned with our excellent reputation. We will not be involved in the “stealing” of your reservations.

Whether commissions are awarded depends on your compliance with the rules of the affiliate network (see above). The increase or decrease in commission is due to cancellation of reservation, changes in dollar rate or incompatibility with agents. The commission percentage (50-70% of Moyens I/O revenue) depends on the payment method you choose.

If you have not received a commission more than 3 days after booking, please contact our affiliates support service at [email protected] Most often, reservations are confirmed after transfer from another partner using another link.
