Did you know that merchants can search for affiliates in the LinkShare Network who have not yet applied to their program?
The Find New Affiliates tool helps merchants expand their affiliate program because it allows them to target new affiliates by:
- Demographic category (Arts, Entertainment, Health, Sports)
- Active versus inactive
- Date the affiliate joined LinkShare
- Monthly unique visitors
- Total number of page views
- Geographic location (city, county, postcode or country)
- Keyword
Most importantly the Find New Affiliates tool allows merchants to search by keyword and we know that our merchants are both product and demographic search to find more affiliates.
When you signed you will have filled in the basic details about your site. But you can expand on this in the Marketing Channel section of the Publisher Interface. It is quite likely that you have not touched this since you signed up so it worth going back and checking that you are promoting your website as well as possible and make it easy for merchants to find you!
Go to My Account –> Marketing Channel
Select to ‘Edit’ your Marketing Channel
Tip: When updating your keywords think about what you focus on and your audience reach. For example, if you are a fashion company, you will need to have the keyword fashion in your description and even go as far as to list products that you review or talk about e.g. jeans, skirts, t-shirts etc. Alternatively, if you target high end consumers then ‘high end consumers’ etc.
