Making Tiered Commissions Work For You

Promote Affiliate Programs that offer a tiered commission structure to ensure that you are placed within the top tier. This is a quick and easy way to quickly see an increase in your overall commissions. Following are a few quick tips for increasing the exposure of a Merchant.

Leverage off the traffic from your homepage. This is where the majority of your traffic will originate and is the optimum page for placing any Merchants that you want to generate significant traffic for.
Take advantage of positions at the top of your page. Links at the top of a page will generate more traffic than those located at the bottom of a page. This is the first location that customers look when viewing your site.
Increase ad size. Larger ads gain more attention and have a greater chance of being clicked through.
Develop a feature or spotlight. By supporting an ad with personal content, you are able to build trust with your customer and increase conversion rates. The goal is to let the customer feel that you are providing information that is of value to them rather then having them feel cheated and sold.

If you are still earning a base commission with Abebooks Affiliate Program, you can easily earn an additional 33% on all transactions by taking advantage of our tiered commission structure and moving to the next tier.
