Follow-up: About Re:Seminar #2 – Affiliate marketing on blogs (2009.09.24, Orange Concept Store)

Hello, on 24^th of September 2009, I took part to Re:Seminar #2 – Affiliate marketing on blogs, at Orange Concept Store, Bucharest. Here's a follow-up. You can see some photos I made at the event: [alpine-phototile-for-picasa-and-google-plus src="user_album" uid="100050990853086188413" ualb="5939857673354027377" imgl="fancybox" style="wall" row="4" size="640" num="100" highlight="1" align="center" max="100"] And also I've made a video with Radu SPINEANU's speech and with Eugen POTLOG's. Some ideas I wrote down: - Who are the most important players in a transaction? a. The provider (it offers a product); b. The affiliate (he places an ad on his web site); c. The user (buys from the provider by following the ad on the affiliate's web site); - eMag profit share - an affiliate marketing system; - eMag comission is 3%; - there are 30 days for one buyer to actually buy a product; - all the products are in the store of the provider, so they can be bought with ease; - having lots of banners on a web site does not guarantee multiplication of revenues with each added banner; - you should consider a larger banner, rather than a lot of small banners; - the quality of your web site traffic (who visits your web site) matters to the impact of the ads; - rather than passively wait for visitors to click your banners, you should rather write blog posts related to the advertised products; - webara.ro does a good job; - SEM (Search Engine Marketing) works great with affiliate systems; See Eugen POTLOG's presentation. See Radu SPINEANU's presentation. See other event coverage at refresh.ro (with interviews with the speakers), swamp, chestiuni.info, Sorin RUSI, concediază-ţi şeful, duveanu. That's it.
