The express and the way simple to gain more Affiliate Commissions

Affiliate marketing is one of the fastest and easiest ways to make money on the Internet, allowing you to avoid dealing with customer service problems or product creation. All you really need to do is make sure you recommend good products to the buyers who want them. Then, you collect big paychecks with very little effort.

There are many different things that you have to watch out for when it comes to protecting your commissions. All of the things that you have to look for can't be listed here but we will show you the top 3.

1. Getting rid of direct affiliate marketing links

You're probably already aware that cloaking your affiliate links is a good idea. After all, this will help keep link hijackers from switching out your affiliate ID for theirs, stealing your commission when someone buys your product. Cloaking your link also helps cut down on buyers who cut off the affiliate part of the link and go right to the sales page because they think that they're going to get a better deal.

Now with that said there are many different things that you have to watch out for when it comes to affiliate marketing. One thing that could be bad for your business is getting online and putting out dead links.

There are many people out there today that have no clue how to promote or make money online. There are some who have no clue what dead links are and probably have them sitting out there and don't even know it. A dead link is when you post your direct link back to your site on another page of a similar product and that site goes down or the product is no longer sold. This is a lot of times done by posting affiliate links on to twitter, blogs, or maybe an e-book that is no longer sold. The best way to get around this is to make sure that you use a re-direct link so that if you find yourself in this position you are able to change out the link to another similar product and fast.

2. Making sure you are aware of any sales leaks

A lot of home based businesses that are out there do not always know who is stealing their money if they are. Some people have their hand in a lot of cookie jars at one time and it becomes hard to pinpoint. However, link hijackers are not the only ones that can steal from you, as a matter of fact the vendors themselves have been well known to take your money as well.

Do you see AdSense ads on the sales page? Some marketers aren't aware that there shouldn't be any distractions or methods of leaving a sales page other than the buy button or the back button. Other marketers are doing this on purpose. The traffic comes for free, and each time someone clicks on an ad, they get the money. Skip these vendors, either way.

Are there alternative payment options? Vendors can sneakily reach into your pocket by offering many different payment options on the landing page. Make sure you credit even if the customer picks a different option. Otherwise, you could run into a bad situation. For instance, if your vendor uses Clickbank for affiliate tracking, but encourages customers to call orders in, you won't get paid.

How about vendors and customer service representatives that send visitors to a new page? This can be a trick that's used when prospects have questions. The rep sends the customer to a different sales page to avoid paying you the commission.

3. Learn the loopholes vendors use to keep your money

Make sure you always read the terms of service and the affiliate agreement closely. You could find ridiculous payment thresholds that will let the vendor keep your money indefinitely, or you could run into a big accounting fee every time you have a check cut.
