Increase Your Sales Choosing the Products With the Highest Conversion Rates

This article's title seems to be a rule to follow to be successful in the affiliate marketing and in fact it is but it is not so simple doing this: affiliate programs are unnumerable and so we can be really embarassed in finding the one that most fits us. Doesn't matter if the product we are promoting is advertised through article marketing, Google Adwords or through a banner shown in our site: its success and therefore our gain will depend on the amount of traffic we receive and how much it is able to sell.

Since increasing the traffic is out of topic here then we will talk about how is possible choosing products that sell more than others. When we meet an affiliate program usually what is shown is the commission earned by each sale, higher commissions can be appealing but are not related to how the product sells. Usually we can find programs that says to have high conversion rates but also this could be just a way to get more appealing. I have never found programs that publish their exact conversion rate and so we are left to try and to find which is the best seller, this can be very hard as if we write articles to promote a product then only after just a consistent work we can say that sells or not, but this is true too for paid campaigns.

We don't have to spend large amounts of time or money to see if a product sells well or not, since conversion rate is defined as the percentage of visits that convert into sales then we just need a good amount of visits ( at least over one hundred, better if greater ) to establish the ratio. We can't reach this through article marketing because to receive a such number of visits we have to wait a lot to get them or we have to write many articles to get them soon. Therefore we have to find a way to get links from high traffic sites so to produce soon a good amount of visits that are also targeted so the found conversion rate will match indeed the reality, the way to do this is social bookmarking. We basically have to write a page in which we talk about a specific problem or need and how can be solved or fulfilled with the product or the service that we offer and that can be reached through the link included by us, then we have to get a link from each of the greatest social bookmarking sites to get the needed amount of visits.

Social bookmarking is defined as the sharing of bookmarks of webpages between different users and is a powerful way to get traffic and to get a page easily indexed in the search engines: with this method pages are stored and organized by tags that are also used by people that are looking for a specific topic or category, in this way the traffic received is targeted and is high because the social bookmarking sites are used by lots of people that continuously browse them looking what they are interested for.

Since there are many social bookmarking sites that are worthy to be used and that all together are able to provide the traffic we need in the due time, then we have to submit our page to each of them and as a first operation we have to create an account too to use them. These are tasks that are very time consuming and who uses already social bookmarking knows this very well, fortunately there are softwares that do this and so in few minutes they do the work that would take us many hours.

In this way is possible to find the conversion rate of what we want to sell in a short time and with a limited effort. Increasing sales will be indeed easy choosing what really deserves to be promoted...
