Hi Ken,

Thanks for letting me know about this thread.

I really wouldn't know what to tell any newcomers as I've been an affiliate since the program first started. My site is about advertising/online marketing and I have a Free Classifieds Directory, so that alone made it easy to attract referrals. The Adlandpro affiliate program was exactly what I was looking for to compliment my website's topic.

I do think, however, that having a blog would greatly help to bring in referrals. Have a link in the side column and add a short description of what Adlandpro has to offer. Also make a post in your blog with a longer description. If you do a lot of posting in your blog and it gets pushed off the page, get the direct link to it and post it in the side column under your short description as "click here for more info". Or you could do this on your website as well. That's about all I do.

As well, I do post on the free classifieds sites as I am always checking the links to the sites listed in my Free Classifieds Directory so I will post my ad on a lot of them while I'm there. My ad is for Adlandpro, but it is linked to my website where I have Adlandpro listed as one of the best places to advertise online.

I haven't found anything complicated about joining Adlandpro. But it has been quite a long time ago since I did join.

I hope this helps. If I think of anything else I'll post it.

This thread has become a very productive discussion, and many thanks to Ken for suggesting it. (I believe it was Ken.)

I think that having a very active community/forum is a big help. If there was some way to tie the community in with the affiliate program might help to get more affiliates. Not sure how much of a problem that would be though. Maybe write some new text ads for affiliates to use that would include the link to join Adlandpro and post free ads, and also have their referral link to join the community where many others are discussing topics such as online marketing/business techniques and tips.

Some new copy and paste text ads would certainly help. Banners are Ok, but I mainly prefer to use text ads. I don't always like to just copy and paste a text ad, sometimes I like to add my own personal touch to it, so as long as the program says it's Ok to do that. But I know a lot of people can't think of a good ad right away and want to get started so they prefer to copy and paste what is already available, then later come up with ideas on their own.

Maybe a "Quick Start" page that new affiliates will see as soon as they sign up that will give them the ads and links they need to start promoting the affiliate program and community right away, then a link for more information on the affiliate program would be a help to them?

Very good and welcomed suggestions Susan...thanks for coming in and giving useful and needed suggestions.

So far I see no one is finding it complicated for the AdlandPro Affiliate Program.?

That sounds more like a statement than a question Mark!

I am sorry that I am holding fast to my belief that the Affiliate Program in Adlandpro is complicated. I have spent a lot of time trying to explain how it could be so much simpler.

I would like for those who find it simple to give examples of what they are doing to have success in simple terms that even I can understand. We have had some nice graphics displayed over the past year. Where are they now. Can anyone find them and use them?

We probably do have some affiliates that are having success but they are not saying what it is that is working. I have shown in several forums that I have what I am doing to attract people from other communities.



On the Home page under the Community Tab you can click on Credits, and You can view the top earners here to find out who's ahead this month. Then click on the referral tab see who is having success.

I am not even on the list so I guess it would not be a good idea fro me to share what I am doing.

Oh how the time flies when you are having fun...it is already 2marO.

Ken
