Watch Out For Traffic Leaks

Author: Chet Brzezinski


When promoting any affiliate program one thing that you, as an affiliate, has to watch out for is what is called traffic leaks. What is a traffic leak? A traffic leak is something on the merchants site that will cause the visitor, that you referred to their site, to get distracted and leave the merchant site, leaving you with no possibility of receiving any kind of commission.

Having traffic leaks does not mean the affiliate program is a scam or trying to cheat you. It is most likely that the merchant just doesn't realize what they are doing. If you are promoting an affiliate program that is not getting any sales for you, you may want to check for traffic leaks. If you find some then contact the merchant (in a professional manner) and ask if they would consider removing the traffic leaks from their site to increase conversion.

Advertisement Banners & Links
This is usually the most common traffic link. The merchant will put up a banner ad or two and some text links to "offset" their expenses. You do not want to promote an affiliate program that has this on their site. When you send a visitor to the site and they click the banner or text ad and go to the other site the merchant gets paid while you get zippo. Not to fair is it?

Order Phone Number
Another traffic leak is the toll free (or regular) phone number they put on their site to let customers call in their orders. But when customers do call in their orders you get stiffed on the commission. It is very easy to set up phone commission tracking. You should ask the merchant if they have any plans on setting up phone sale tracking. If they don't know how you can send them to me to show them how to do it.

Basically, you do not want anything on the merchants site that will drive your referred customer away to another site that you will not get a commission from.

As you may know, I have a very deep passion for Affiliate Marketing.  In fact, this website is a true labor of love for me.  

As publisher, one my many duties is to review the many books, programs, ebooks,  and courses about Affiliate Marketing that are on the market today.  I’ll be honest with you.  Most of them are garbage.  (Although I do strongly recommend the programs in the “Must Have” box to the left). 

But, let me tell you, when I came upon the following headline, I new I found a winner…

"Earning Extra Income With Affiliate Marketing –
Having Your Cake and Eating it Too!”

Now, the reason I knew it was a winner was because of the name behind the headline.  James Martell. 

Many consider James to be one of the true geniuses in our field.  I have a lot of respect for him, and I urge you to drop what you are doing right now and read this

I’m going to leave this note up for a few days, but will probably take it down soon, so if you are interested in saving a few bucks, go here now.

Talk to you soon!
