ARE YOU LOSING COMMISSIONS?
As an affiliate you want the visitor to read through the sales page and hit that order button with you getting credit for the sale. There are a number of reasons why this does not happen
1. There is an overt link to an affiliate sign up page. So your potential customer could simply become an affiliate and purchase the product through his own link.
2. There are many external links which distract the visitor from reaching the order page.
3. The merchant captures your commission, for example
- There are offers to join a mailing list or claim a free report: you should get credited for any sale ensuing from these leads but an unscrupulous merchant may follow up and make the sale via his own link.
- Similarly the merchant may use a pop-up upon exiting a site to convert a leaving visitor into a sale for which you do not get the credit.
5. Remember ClickBank mentioned previously ?
If you are a ClickBank affiliate and the merchant offers multiple payment options (such as Paypal) then if ClickBank is not chosen you do not get the commission.
So there we have a list of reasons why you are not getting those commission checks. What can you do about them?
