Omnistar Affiliate manager
solution has a built in link guard function that generates
the code necessary to create a link guard page on your
affiliates' sites. The link guard page they create is
simply an html file your affiliates upload onto their
site that makes the links your affiliates use cleaner,
so that they can more easily give out links that will
generate sales for you and bring in more sales.
What is a link guard?
A link guard gives you the option of providing customers
with a simple url that they can use to access the
site the affiliate is advertising. The affiliate simply
has to generate the code that will forward customers
to the site they are advertising. They then place
this into an html file on their site, so they can
direct traffic to a much simpler link than the original
one created by the affiliate software. This allows
these affiliates to easily tell customers the link,
because it will be substantially shorter. Customers
will be less likely to ignore the link because it
will not be pointed at an unknown URL.
Why do I want to offer a link guard?
The affiliate link guard system is a convenient way
for affiliates to improve their advertising. It directs
traffic the same as the affiliate links the software
distributes by default, but it appears as a local
link to buyers, who are more likely to continue on
to sales when they are not worried about the destination
of their links. Link guards also make giving out the
sales url much easier, so that the affiliate can memorize
the url and have it on hand whenever they need it,
increasing sales for both of you!
How could a link guard benefit my users?
The affiliate link guard will increase sales, and
help your affiliates offer the best possible interface
to future customers. By providing them with all the
tools they need, the Affiliate manager solution keeps
sales coming in, which makes both the affiliate and
the software owner happy, because everybody wins with
Affiliate marketing! Link guarding just augments the
benefits of affiliate marketing.
