Bookmark Page; Ending Today at 3; Are Affiliate Marketing Banners a Good Idea?

Published: Mon, 11/15/21


How was your weekend? Last week, my daughter in law came over to get some Crumble cookies I'd gotten for them and she watched a cute Hallmark movie I had on with me. They're so feel-good and sweet, aren't they? You know they're going to end happy and you can predict every sappy moment. Normally, I like more complex stuff but these days, there's something wonderful about predictable and happy. 

ENDING TODAY: My limited to buyers for 5 days only PLR called A Year’s Worth of Weekly Blog Post Ideas for Almost Any Niche ends at 3 PM EST today - no exceptions. If you're in the marketing niche, you'll want this to use to help guide your people on what to blog about, what to email out, what to create lead magnets or info products for, or what to post on social media. If you're in the diet, success, or survival niche, you'll want this for the  52 blog slant ideas I give you - along with tips on finding more of the same slant for the future. 

1 Page to Bookmark: I usually have a small selection of limited PLR that doesn't fully sell out. So I compiled a page that has those with a few licenses left AND I also added my enormous niche PLR bundles (where I go to my PLR store, package up just about everything in one niche topic, and mark it down from 89-96%, Those packs are UNlimited, and usually have hundreds or well over $1,000 worth of PLR in it from my store at a steep discount. You may want to bookmark this page and revisit it whenever you want to grab a big discount package or see if a limited PLR topic is still available. Note: I will only add the limited PLR here if it goes a few days without selling out. 

Left: There are still 14 copies left of my limited to 50 PLR report called A Marketer's Guide to Stopping Self Sabotage and 23 copies left of the limited to 50 PLR report called A Marketer's Guide to Simplifying Your Success.

FYI: Tomorrow's email will go out at 9 AM EST if you want to be on the lookout for it...

Are Affiliate Marketing Banners a Good Idea?

As an affiliate – whether it’s for info products you find on ClickBank or tangible items on Amazon – you’re going to be given the opportunity to utilize banner and button ads on your domain to drive traffic to an offer. 

There are several benefits and drawbacks to using graphic ads like this, so you’ll have to make the decision yourself. And every niche audience responds differently. So the best option is to test the use of them and see how they perform. 

They’re easy to use. As an affiliate, you want all of the tools you can possibly have at your disposal, and most product owners give you a simply cut and paste HTML code that you can use for their banner ads. All you have to do is plug in your affiliate ID and it’s ready!

They help fill empty space on your blog. There are many spaces that are perfect for banner ads – underneath the header, on your sidebar, and sometimes even in the footer, depending on the theme that you use. 

But be aware that some visitors will suffer from banner blindness, so they don’t even see your banner ads when they visit. You might try a popup tool instead and see how that works. There are some fairly non-intrusive ones to choose from that do just enough to grab the attention of your visitor without being annoying. 

They serve those who are visual well. Some visitors are more drawn to graphics than they are text. There are all kinds of learners in any niche. So banner ads might work well for converting some of your visitors. The only way to know is to test. 

They often don’t convert as well as text links. Overall, it seems that text hyperlinks that are naturally integrated into the content on your site perform better than banner ads. But again, each affiliate needs to test the difference with their own audience and see what the results are. 

They may not match your site’s aesthetics. This is one problem with many banner ads. The colors don’t match your site. You might have a pastel colored site and the banner ad is filled with primary colors. You don’t want the banner to cause a harsh visual reaction with your visitors. 

If animated, they may annoy your visitors. Animated ads can be okay if used sparingly, and with the right message and audience. But some affiliates have blinking ads all around the content, and it serves more as a distraction than as a beneficial promotional tool. 

That's it for me today - y'all have a great rest of your day!

Tiff ;)
