You bring up some very good points. Personally, I’m trying this new style where instead of having a niche website, I made one single site which reviews various products. I’ve made a few sales but nothing to brag about. I’m just concentrating on getting traffic first before I will be able to really tell if a general review website is feasible.

In terms of page setup, I’ve read that a successful strategy is to make your landing page as natural as possible and to be subtle about your affiliate links. No big “buy now” buttons or flashing banners.

Lynn,
Reading your article i had an idea.
I was sitting here and all of a sudden it was like–ping!!- a light bulb went off in my head. And i am sooo excited i mean so excited- i finally got a missing part of the puzzle that hadn’t quite clicked- and tonight it clicked.
This understanding is so cool. Thanks for making it click in my mind.
Hey- that’s why your blog is Clicknewz — you make things like in our heads;-)
All the best,
Eren

Some of the best promotion online comes down to
” I like this, this is why and this is what you might like about it”.

Leave the hard-sell to the used car guys.

Dennis and David both make great points! Testing is vital and surprisingly enough, poorly designed sites with flashy banners do well with in certain niches. It’s a very strange phenomenon, but true nevertheless.

As each niche is different you have to really test what works and what doesn’t. There is no universal ad placement formula that will work across the board. Every site is different, and should be treated in the same manner.

This is a great thread. Lots of useful info from everyone!

And flashy vs. not

By that, I don’t just mean using “flash”, I mean gawdy as well lol.

Yes, testing is very important. If you have a choice of banners to use, try testing one with more text on it against one with less, if possible.

If the account is still active, meaning you can log in to it, you can use your CJ links on any domain in any niche.

Thanks for taking the time to share this info, Elijah!

I already have a CJ account, but it hasn’t been active lately and it’s for a different niche/domain name. Hopefully that will work for and not against me.
