I take it you are still answering questions :)

What, specifically, are the best converting campaigns on Copeac and/or other networks, with %s and what you would consider to be the best way to market them. Feel free to generalize if you don't want to just give out answers ;)

Why hasn't Copeac approved me yet? I applied 3 weeks ago and nobody has gotten back to me. The domain I'm applying for is in the siggie. I'm already affiliated with CJ, Specific Media and other money junkie networks.

Check your spam filter, or email danielle at intermarkmedia dot com and she will get oyu approved ASAP
 
What's the avg salary of an affiliate managers? Can't they make a lot more if they were doing affiliate marketing on their own?
 
In case you are still answering questions after this extremely long 45 mins, here is another for you:

What do you see as being the best type of sites for the offers you have? Landing pages, minisites, full websites, or what?

I am sure an answer could be "any and all, depends on the traffic and offers" but wanted to ask anyhow.

Also, how long do you believe the average offer sticks around? If you spent a month getting traffic for an offer, only to have it disappear (not to come back next month after the ad coffers are refilled) forever, it sorta sucks. To know what the average lifespan is would be interesting...

Thanks for the offer of answering the questions!
 
wow 802 results for affiliate marketing on monster.com... Call me stupid but that surprised me I didn't realize that many people knew this industry existed.

Finally found how I'm going to make money in internet marketing!

There is no such thing as a perfect offer which converts the same for everyone. In each vertical there are 2-3 offers which convert very well for people. For example in dating, one offer such as True does well for one person and crappy for another, the other person might do better with Mate1 or eharmony.

I am not sure about other networks but our AM's make on the low end 80K a year and on the high end 250K a year.

Some might be able to do the AM thing on their own but its a grind as well and one month you do great and the next you do horrible, its more risky, some people prefer the stability while others like the risk, its a personal taste.

To be honest i could never do the stuff that most of our affiliates do. I dont have the patience, which you can tell by my sometimes short responses, my ADD kicks in after 5 minutes.

All offers stick around, they just go through peaks and valleys. Right now Block Buster and Ringtones are big, but that doesnt mean that people stopped signing up to Netflix or to buy cell phones, those campaigns that are huge today will still get traffic 4 years from now, just not as much as you see today

The first question, you answered yourself, its all in testing, try different things with different traffic until you can tweak it to where it works for you.

Mike,

I didn't mean for a perfect offer. I meant based off your personal OR copeac's averages. Let's assume that I don't care about the verticals.

Mike,

U know your shit and offer helpful answers in threads such as this. So this has always bothered me:

Knowing a network runs their own ppc promotions such as you have mentioned you are doing for dating and ringtones - isn't it a bit scary for an affiliate to promote offers for the network? I know this isn't limited to your network, many networks, if not most, do their own promotions - but aren't affiliates giving the networks alot of marketing ideas to run with on their own?

Good question.

I could understand if some affiliates would feel that way but there is also the reverse. Our in-house team shows what we do to our AM's so the AM's can teach the affiliates what we do. Some affiliates watch our sites to see what our in-house team is running especially in ringtones, it helps them to get a second opinion on what the best converting ringtone offer is that day since the market is so volatile.
 
If YOU became an affiliate today, which offer/s would YOU personally promote and in which fashion would YOU market them? ;)
