Hi,
here's a quick run down on the most common ways that the majority of online marketers lose up to 60% in affiliate commissions...
and more importantly, how you can fix this instantly!
#1. 99% Link Cloakers Break Responsive sites
If you think you are protecting your links by link cloaking think again...
99% of cloakers break responsive sites - this is down to some very bad coding by most link
cloakers
This is now the #1 reason for lost sales as 60% of us use mobile devices
#2. Browser Switching
This is where users click on an affiliate link then switch browsers copying the new de-cloaked link that doesn't deposit a cookie = you don't get
paid
#3. De-Cloaked Referral Leaks
This is where visitors share the RAW link after they clicked an offer & it's de-cloaked
99% of affiliate links turn into RAW links after they are clicked - these links don't cookie the browser & you don't get
paid
#4. Social Blocking
This is where social sites block a domain & even block pages that contain links to the blocked resource
so even if you've done nothing wrong, you get blocked too
& without the ability to post your
links socially you don't get paid...
Social sites now monitor the amount of links posted by each account, it's very easy to get blocked.
#5. Link Trust
This is where you post the RAW affiliate link or use a link shortening service which produces links that looks like garbage
...
this reduces visitor trust = less visitors = less sales.
#6. Link Harvesting
Some offers contain exit pops with no other purpose than persuading your visitors to join the vendors list
this is a covert commission leak -
reducing your chances of getting paid on that vendor's future products.
#7. Blank Social Metas
if you try & share a link on a social site with no meta description/images, they look worthless & boring, which reduces interest, clicks & commissions.
#8. Bad Link
Management
There's no sense in pointing traffic to poor performing offers, your links must be re-routable at any time, using the right cloaker allows you to do that.
In a nutshell if you're not cloaking links you are losing loads of money & if you are cloaking using inferior products you are losing money too
