Online marketers also need to be selective in choosing the right forms of affiliate marketingnot all may be desirable. These are the options of affiliate marketing models for you to consider.

1. Aggregators -These are the big comparison sites like Kelkoo, Shopzilla and MoneySupermarket. These aren’t strictly affiliates since most charge per click, but Coogle Product Search (formerly Froogle) is a free option and you should definitely consider creating a product feed for some of these comparison sites.
2. Review sites -You’ll know the CNet reviews or maybe startups like Reevoo or Review Centre. These all link to merchants based on cost per click or cost per acquisition deals.

 

3. Rewards sites -With names like GreasyPalm or QuidCo you get the idea. These splil the commission between the reward site and their visitors.
4. Voucher code sites -MyVoucherCodes or Hot UK Deals are typical. If you have some great deals to entice first time shoppers you should generate business, although many search by well-known brand.
5. Uber-bloggers -Martin Lewis’s MoneySavingExpert.com is an incredibly popular site due to his PR efforts and great content. Although he has no ads, he is an affiliate for mam sites he recommends.
6. Everyone else -They don’t tend to be high volume super-affiliates like all the above, but they’re collectively important and you can work like them via affiliate networks like Commision Junction or Tradedoubler. They often specialize in SEO or PPC.
