Matching Shopping Content to Your Site’s Content

Monday, July 19th, 2010

When it comes to affiliate marketing, one of the best tips is to place contextually relevant advertising on your website. Matching ad content to your site’s theme is vital if you want to increase those click-thru rates.

When a visitor comes to your site looking for information on a particular subject, offering them well placed shopping content is a great way to earn from your knowledge. If you’re writing a review on beauty products, for example, displaying product prices or links to relevant shopping content such as mascara or the latest cosmetics gives them a better user experience, as they can click onwards to check the product out further. And for those clicks…Shopzilla rewards you, since our affiliate program pays on a CPC based model.

One good example of well matched ad content is Saxophone Players. As you can see the site is based around the musical instrument, and the dynamic banner along the right hand sidebar contains saxophones and saxophone related products. You can also see how well the owner of this site has integrated Shopzilla’s ads, using our dynamic colour picker tool to customise his banners for the site. Providing the visitor with more information on what they originally came to the site looking for in the first place only is one of the most essential requirements for a successful website in the affiliate marketing industry. And yet it is just common sense!

dynamic-banners-on-saxophone-players

Furthermore, not just adding shopping content but adding a price comparison element to your site is always a good idea as which visitor doesn’t want to see the cheapest price? The internet is where most people turn to first to compare prices of products - if you can offer them this option they don’t have to look too far! They’ll come back again and again…and again.

We pride ourselves on great shopping content at Shopzilla and to make life easier for our Publishers, the Shopzilla UK Publisher Program is free to join. We have millions of product offers on Shopzilla which is our very own comparison search engine. This means as a Publisher, you get access to great advertising banners to suit your site, whatever the theme. And there’s no joining fee!

World Cup 2010 Fever

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Have you got your shirts on, your flags at the ready and your face painted?

That’s right. In three days the World Cupkicks off once again and it’s anybody’s guess as to who is going to win this international sporting event. France? England? Germany? Or none of the above? Spain may be the favourites this year but are they strong enough to pull it off?

If you’re all ready and waiting for the games to begin on 11th June with South Africa verses Mexico, why not get your website prepared in time? That way, when searches go crazy for football shirts, football boots and generally all that is football related, you can offer your visitors what they’re looking for.

Try out some of our football banners:

These advertising banners come in a range of sizes and you can even dynamically alter the colours, placement IDs and border width/colour so that they really do seamlessly integrate into your website.

The 2010 World Cup promises to be an exciting ride for footballers and supporters alike. Show your support by displaying your football-related banners now!

Europe Day with Shopzilla’s EU Affiliate Programs

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Last Sunday was Europe Day, an annual celebration of European unity. What better time to tell you then about our EU affiliate programs through which you can both optimise and monetise your website.

© U-g-g-B-o-y-(-Photograph-World-Sense-)

Shopzilla now has three affiliate programs to offer you here in Europe:

  • Le programme d’affiliation Publisher de Shopzilla - our French affiliate program was introduced in October 2009, and is open to all websites* targeted at francophone visitors that wish to integrate content-related advertising. The application is just as simple as the UK program’s. If you do not speak French but own a website(s) in French, please speak to one of the Publisher Team who will be happy to help you out.
  • Publisher Partnerprogramm - our German program which was also launched at the same time as the French version.  This also offers the same great shopping banners and assets as the other two. Again, for any help in applying please contact our team on publisher [at] shopzilla.com.

It is worth noting that we pay on a CPC based model for all three programs and offer Publishers the chance to seamlessly integrate shopping content. Adding Shopzilla content is a great SEO tool as it builds on your offers and allows Google to index all that extra content.

Have a look for yourself and celebrate being part of Europe by joining today.

*sites will need to be approved before being able to access Shopzilla affiliate content.
