Do you mix offers from multiple vendors on your affiliate sites?

3 replies
Hi all - so far I've been primarily focusing on Amazon, but now I'm building a site for products from a company through CJ.

Question - do you all mix different affiliate offers on the same page? Say there's a product I want to promote and Amazon has one model, while another is available through CJ.... or alternately, that they have the same product at different prices. Would I typically be violating any rules to feature both on one site, or to do a price comparison and try to drive users to EITHER site?

Thanks for any input!

    Price comparison sites are very popular these days. Personally, I stick to one, maybe two product(s) per site, but a price comparison for the same product would be a good idea. If you could find a list of 5 or 6 vendors with the same product at varying prices that would be even better.

    Good luck,

    To some extent, yes. A little more than I used to, anyway.

    I've always promoted different ClickBank products (in the same niches, of course) on my affiliate niche sites, but recently I've started combining some non-ClickBank products with them, too, in a couple of niches. (They're products which pay me about the same as their "accompanying"/"alternative" ClickBank ones. Actually "alternative" isn't quite the right word, as some visitors buy both).

    I was very reluctant to do this, for a long time, but it seems to be working well, so far. I'm gradually overcoming some of my reservations about doing this, as long as the commission income the products from different vendors pay me is broadly similar. I would still not want a wide commission-range, nor a wide price-range, on the same site (in my opinion, emails to my subscribers are the place to do those promotions - clearly, it helps to be able to offer recommendations over a broad range of prices, but for me, that's by email only, to people who have already opted in, and not on an affiliate niche website).

    Not "typically", no; though one always needs to read people's terms of service. I certainly haven't heard of that being a major issue, though.

    Be careful you don't confuse your visitors to the point where they end up buying nothing. Often it is better to focus on one offer, and drive visitors down that funnel.
