If you love affiliate marketing too, here’s a ‘Useful Website’ I just discovered
By Gary | January 16, 2008
Any others of you out there trying to make a few bucks online with "Affiliate Marketing"? Any of you interested in knowing more about affiliate marketing -- what it is, how you do it, etc.? I've been working at affiliate marketing and trying to learn how to "get it right" for the last few years.
In a nutshell: Affiliate marketing means I -- or you -- place links on a website or blog to a merchant I have an affiliate relationship with. When customers go to that merchant through links on my site and buy something, sign up for something, or do whatever action I and the merchant have agreed upon, I earn a small commission.
My "Useful Website" for you this morning is an affiliate marketing network called "Pepperjam Network," which I just found out about. Pepperjam offers a place for website "publishers," aka affiliate marketers, to hook up with merchants, find the necessary links and marketing tools, and make a fortune on the Internet.
Okay, you probably won't make a fortune, at least not right away, but Pepperjam Network offers you opportunities to make some steady income with your website or blog.
Pepperjam Network offers you the opportunity to affiliate with such merchants as Blockbuster, Jelly Belly, AeroGrow, Oscar de la Renta, BabyPhat, Rocawear, Ben Sherman, FlyCell, SinglesNet, SEOmoz Premium, and many more.
Here's a news release from the Pepperjam Network people. It gives you the whole lowdown. Read and learn more:
PRESS RELEASE:
Pepperjam Announces Launch of Next Generation Affiliate Marketing Network
Pepperjam, a two-time Inc. Magazine fastest growing company and industry leading full-service internet marketing agency, today announced the launch of Pepperjam Network, a proprietary next generation affiliate marketing network.
If you are an advertiser or affiliate and would like to sign-up for Pepperjam Network please visit www.pepperjamnetwork.com.
"Pepperjam Network represents an evolution in affiliate marketing. The creation of Pepperjam Network represents eight years of research and development and the combined ideas, feedback, and intelligence of hundreds of affiliate marketers and advertisers. Pepperjam Network will forever change the face of affiliate marketing by putting power back in the hands of affiliates and advertisers to build long-term, profitable partnerships through better communication tools and transparency," said Kristopher B. Jones, President & CEO of Pepperjam.
Among a variety of affiliate marketing enhancements, Pepperjam Network addresses the two primary shortcomings of other existing affiliate networks, namely (1) poor, unreliable communication tools and (2) lack of affiliate transparency. With Pepperjam Network, affiliates and advertisers can communicate in real-time via Pepperjam Chat™, thereby providing a reliable communication system to build stronger, more profitable partnerships. Pepperjam Network also provides advertisers with an unprecedented measure of affiliate transparency, which helps to establish trust, protect brand integrity, and lays the groundwork for open, long-term, profitable relationships.
Pepperjam Network also introduces pepperjamADS, which is a first-ever affiliate marketing widget that affiliates can use to serve customized contextual ads from one or multiple Pepperjam Network advertisers at the same time.
Pepperjam Network was designed to make the experience of affiliate marketing profitable and educational, with the goal of allowing affiliates and advertisers to truly understand and maximize the critical affiliate marketing channel.
Unlike the traditional networks, Pepperjam Network uses Web 2.0 technology to provide affiliates and advertisers with an easy-to-use, cutting-edge interface designed to facilitate and optimize the affiliate marketing process. For instance, Pepperjam Network offers industry leading source-level tracking and reporting -- this robust technology is especially beneficial to search marketing and sophisticated super affiliates that want to take advantage of the most up-to-date technology available to track commissions at the keyword level.
Here is just a sample of what many industry experts are saying about Pepperjam Network:
"Even after all these years using Commission Junction on the merchant and affiliate side, I still find it terribly clumsy to find what I want. With Pepperjam Network it is quick and easy. Pepperjam Network is what an affiliate network would look like if it were built from a wish list from both the affiliate and merchant perspective," said Shawn Collins, Cofounder of Affiliate Summit.
"As both an advertiser and a affiliate, I am on the lookout for affiliate marketing systems that meet all our company's needs. Pepperjam Network is without a doubt the most comprehensive, practical and useful affiliate marketing system I have seen to date. Pepperjam Network demonstrates that it is possible to combine style with substance in a network that provides site owners and advertisers with tools and resources to increase their bottom line," said Joel Comm, New York Times Best-Selling author and CEO, InfoMedia, Inc.
