After several years of online affiliate marketing, and wondering why my traffic ( which was significant) was not generating the conversions and affiliate payments I was expecting, I began to do a little investigative work.
I hit numerous forums (including several "Unofficial Microsoft Forums") and talked to every Guru I could think of. And what I found out blew me away.
If like me, you've wondered why you're not making the money you should be....there are two reasons.
One, as you know, all commissions are tracked with a harmless "cookie" that's placed on the visitors PC. If the visitor buys a product or service, and your cookie is there, you get the commission.
But....with almost 80% of all Internet Users surfing with IE (Internet Explorer - all versions - check your logs to see what your percent is).....Your Cookies Are Not Being Set!
Like many of you, I've cloaked my links in a number of ways - mainly with link cloaking software that uses "framed pages with encoded html".
The problem with this type of cloaking software is that IE Blocks all Cookies from being set in a "framed page". So up to 80% of all your visitors are leaving no record of their visit. Up to eighty percent folks - no wonder our commissions are so low.
So I switched my affiliate pages to a "redirect" page - another popular way to cloak your links.
I still didn't see a jump in my commissions. A little more research and I found out why.
Reason two: Because almost 80% of all Internet users rely on IE, almost 80% of all PC's have Parasite Software installed on their hard drives and don't even know it (nice security flaw Microsoft).
Parasite Software is a nasty little secret that you don't hear much about. It overwrites your affiliate code with it's own affiliate code "after" your visitor has already landed on the merchants page.
The bottom line: All the hard work you've put into your affiliate marketing has been wasted because up to 80% of your site visitors are leaving no record of ever visiting your site...or up to 80% of your cookies are being overwritten. No wonder you're not making the money you should be.
While poking around those forums I mentioned earlier, I repeatedly saw a reference to an independent software developer who came up with a solution that solves both those problems. His software - covertlinks - ensures that your cookies get set....and no parasite software can overwrite them.
Can it work for you? I can't answer that. I can only say what my experience is with his software.
Within 30 days of implementation, my commissions increased by 61.7%.
I did nothing else - no rewriting of my copy or changing headlines. I just used his software.
Take look at his product - it's extremely affordable at less then $30 and will make a huge difference to your bottom line.
