					<content:encoded><![CDATA[  Last week I returned from Las Vegas and I have to tell you, it was pleasure and fun for me to attend Affiliate Summit West 2010 in Las Vegas. It was our first Affiliate Summit even we are in Affiliate Marketing industry many years already. Next year we will definitely attend Affiliate Summit again.It was not just a chance for me to meet face to face with people forming affiliate marketing, but also great opportunity to grab new ideas for Post Affiliate Pro development.I was impressed by multiple Affiliate Summit sessions, but one them was the top of all.The best session I've seen was definitely the Keynote of Dr. Robert Cialdini. Everyone who visited Keynote session Influence During Times of Uncertainty was shocked how important could be every sentence to influent website visitor to buy something. He presented us 6 main principles of influence, which could increase your web site success. Here are some of my notes I did during keynote: - Reciprocation - Be the first to give (service or information) If visitor will see, that you offered him something for free, he will buy your product with higher probability.Give to your visitors e.g. free eBook, T-short, or any service for free.Quality Unit does this already few years (we offer e.g. free installation for all our customers or free hosted affiliate software)- Scarcity - The rule of rare Show to your visitors, that your products contain unique features.Give to visitor unique information, which can't be accessed on other website.Limit validity of discount coupons to empower feeling, that it is something rare and unique, what will not last forever and in case customer will not use it, he will loose chance to order our products cheaper.- Authority - Showing knowingEstablish position through professionalism, industry knowledge, your credentials AND admitting weaknesses first.Visitor doesn't know you personally, so you need to convince him to trust you. Most effective way seems to be admitting some weaknesses first.Visitor will see, that you have knowledge also about weak parts of your product and he will believe you, when you will mention later strong features.- Consistency - The starting pointStart small and build, start with existing commitments, start from public positions, start toward voluntary choices- Liking - Making friends to influence peopleUncover similarities, areas for genuine compliments, opportunities for cooperationIf you described your team members on your website, don't tell just business story (what employee does in your company), but also tell his personal story (where he lives, describe hobbies, family, etc)Visitor should see relation between his private story and your team members to start like them.We will need to improve description about our team members to show to our visitors, that they are humans like all other.- Consensus - People proof, people powerUnleash people power by showing responses of many others, others' past success, testimonials of similar othersTestimonials on your website should assure visitor, that same problem he has, solved other similar people by ordering your product. Testimonial should describe also problem, which was solved by your product and not just how great you are.This is something, what we need to improve in Quality Unit as well. Most of our testimonials mentioned great experience of users with our services or support, but doesn't tell story of problem, which was solved by our products.As we saw on examples presented by Dr. Cialdini during his session, by keeping those simple 6 principles you can increase significantly conversion rate of your website. I think it is worth to give it a chance.]]></content:encoded>

					<content:encoded><![CDATA[  As I wrote few days ago, affiliate marketing is not just about driving traffic to your website. There is another important parameter, which can increase your sales significantly! It is conversion of your website. Today I will show you example how we are trying to improve conversion of our own website. Same schema you can apply on your own website and test if such changes will help also to your website.Before we will start, I will repeat main idea from last post:If you want to double your sales, it is much cheaper to improve conversion of your website as to pay for higher traffic. So how can you increase revenue from your website ?I don't know how to increase your sales,  but I know what worked for us. Here is what we did:1. We identified page where we loose the majority of our visitors. You can identify such pages e.g. with Google Analytics (it is free tool offered by Google). Google Analytics will show you exactly bounce rate of each of your pages. The page with highest number of visitors and highest bounce rate is problem of your website. This is a page, which you should optimize as first. In our case it was home page of Post Affiliate Pro product. This page had bounce rate higher as 50%.]]></content:encoded>

Dramatically improve your affiliate program now!This is an example of how a situation can arise that calls for multiple sales commissions to be paid out: ’Visitor John’ was browsing Dave’s Blog and was interested in Dave’s Blog’s link to the “best-product.com” website. Visitor John clicks through to the “best-product.com” website from Dave’s Blog.Visitor John then browses the “best-product.com” website, and exits after 5 minutes.Visitor John decides to research “best-product.com” to get some reviews, references, or pricing information.Furthering his search, Visitor John finds the website “best-product-review.com,” and again views the “best-product.com” website, but he’s now viewing from the site of affiliate Tom, review writer. Visitor John searches again, and finds a forum entry, where affiliate Mike has made positive statements about “best-product.com.,” At this point, Visitor John has been referred yet again by reading the positive things affiliate Mike has declared in the forum.Visitor John then makes the purchase decision, and he finally becomes a customer of “best-product,com.”]]></content:encoded>

					<content:encoded><![CDATA[  We all know, that Internet business is all about traffic targeted to your web site and conversion rate of your website. If you will rise any of those parameters, you will win.Conversion rateSimple explanation: Conversion is ratio between number of visitors of your website and number of your customers.Imagine, that your current conversion rate is about 1%. If you will improve your conversion rate only by half percent to 1.5%, with same traffic you can earn 50% more as before optimization. So think about it! It is much cheaper to optimize your website and increase conversion by 0.5% as to "buy" 50% more traffic!I will not write here in deeper details about options how to increase conversion of your website. MUST is to use e.g. Website Optimizer from Google or any other similar tool and test, what on your website rocks and what is bouncing your visitors away from your site. Only if you will measure and test you can make correct decisions about changes on your website.Now rise the hand all of you, who does e.g. A/B testing or multivariate experiments on your website !Ok, I don't see hands here, but I'm pretty sure, that more than 75% of you never tried it... So before you will drive to your website more and more traffic, start with optimization of your website and test all possible variants! And the best is to start now!TrafficThere are different strategies how to drive traffic to your site and I guess all of you know what works the best for you.In general there are few basic traffic sources, which you can consider:1. Traffic from Search Enginesexample: visitor clicks on your link in search results of search engine like GoogleOnly way how to improve this type of traffic is to have relevant content on your site and make some SEO optimizations. Important are high quality back links, BUT not JUST back links :-) e.g. Google evaluates about 200 parameters about your website.2. Direct Trafficexample: visitor types in to browser directly your website urlTo improve this type of traffic is long term process. You need to build your brand. Your brand needs to be unique enough, otherwise users will not remember it next time they will search for you. Name of your brand needs to become buzz word on Internet. Try to start with PRs.3. PPC - Pay Per Clickexample: you will buy targeted clicks e.g. from AdwordsYes, If you have a lot of money, you can buy anything :-) But think about it ? Is it cheapest way for you to get traffic ? In case of PPC is even more important to tune conversion rate of your website. The best would be for all of us to pay just for traffic, which really means sales and not just for clicks, which will generate in 99% no sales.4. Traffic from referring sitesexample: your affiliate will write blog about your great product and use your link in his blogYes, this is traffic we love.This is something, what generates back links for us.This traffic is "free" (or at least we don't need to pay for such clicks ahead)This is AFFILIATE MARKETING.ConclusionI don't want to tell you, that you should do just Affiliate marketing and stop paying for PPC! No, if you want to have really stable incomes from your website, invest your time and money into each of traffic source. It is same as money investments. You need to build your portfolio, in which you have risky funds (PPC) and also long term stable investments (SEO, high quality affiliates, good brand).How we do it in Quality Unit?We develop affiliate software and try to use it. We try to drive more "free" traffic to our site as to pay PPC.I looked quickly into Google Analytics now and currently we receive much more traffic from referring sites or affiliates (43.67% - over 2000 affiliates) and direct traffic (24.05%) as from search engines (32.28%).It seems to us more profitable to pay for building of good affiliate program as to pay one time investment into PPC. Money invested into PPC will generate immediate income, but nothing more. Money invested into affiliate program generates for us long term income.E.g. it is worth for us to pay $50 to our affiliate just for signup to our affiliate program, as to pay $1 for one click from adwords, because we know, that each active affiliate will generate for us more sales as 50 clicks from adwords (our conversion ratio is far from 50%).]]></content:encoded>

					<content:encoded><![CDATA[  We want to give to all merchants running their affiliate program on Post Affiliate Pro powerful and safe affiliate software, which will protect their money against different kinds of attacks.Starting from version 4.4.1 will contain Post Affiliate Pro extensive fraud protection mechanism.  Up to version 4.4. you were able to activate basic protection against duplicate sales or clicks. In new release you will have following options in fraud protection settings:Clicks Fraud Protection- PAP4 can recognize clicks from same IP address within defined time range as fraud (you can check it per banner or over all banners)- PAP can mark as fraudulent clicks from blacklisted IP ranges- PAP can mark as fraudulent clicks from selected countries (part of PAPGeoIp feature)You can decide if commissions for such clicks will be declined or not saved.Sales/Leads/Actions Fraud Protection- PAP can recognize duplicate sales registered from same IP address in defined time range- PAP can recognize duplicate orders with same order id- PAP can mark as fraudulent sales from banned IP address ranges- PAP can automatically mark as fraudulent also sales from defined list of countries (part of PAPGeoip feature)In each fraud protection condition you can define, if such commissions will not be saved or just declined (later you can approve them if you will review manually such sales)Sign up Fraud Protection- PAP can block affiliate sign up in case in defined time range will affiliate try to login multiple times- PAP can block sign up from banned IP ranges- PAP can block sign ups from defined list of countries (part of PAPGeoip feature)When fraud protection can save your money?As you can see, new version 4.4.1 will come with many great options how to protect your affiliate program against attacks.If you can't imagine how to use fraud protection, I will mention few examples:Example 1Imagine, that you pay your affiliates for clicks (PPC) and one of your affiliates (or more affiliates) will try to "buy traffic" from India.Such traffic has no value for you, because visitors from this country will never buy your products.To solve this situation, you will just block all clicks from India by black listing India in fraud protection form.Example 2One of your affiliates will arrange clicks from specific network (you can see all clicks are from same IP range - often requests executed by any kind of virus).Solution will be simple. You will just blacklist all clicks from attacker IP range.Blacklisting of IPs will be very easy in Post Affiliate Pro. You can define comma separated list of IPs or IP ranges. You will have following options how to select banned IP addresses:1. exact match of IP addresses: e.g. 192.168.1.1, 189.192.168.162. wildcard match: e.g. 192.168.1.*, 189.192.*.*3. ip range (from IP to IP): e.g. 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.2554. subnet mask range in multiple formats:a) [dot quad ip]/[ bitmask ] (e.g. 192.168.0.0/16)b) [dot quad ip]/[ dot quad netmask ] (e.g. 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0)c) [dot quad ip]/[ hex string netmask ] (e.g. 192.168.0.0/ffff0000)All mentioned syntaxes you can combine in comma or new line separated list.Example 3Imagine, that your are running local business and it has no sense for you to have partners from different countries.Therefore you want to accept in your affiliate program just partners from your country.Solution will be to blacklist all affiliate registrations from all countries except your country.As you see in my examples, you will save time and money, if you will let Post Affiliate Pro automatically protect your partners program for you - you will not need to do a lot of manual and time consuming work.]]></content:encoded>

					<content:encoded><![CDATA[  During last couple of weeks our designer Jan Perdoch worked hard to migrate content of our old website into new content management system.I'm proud to tell you, that yesterday we released our new web to public.What's newNext to migration of old content into new CMS we added also new sections in Post Affiliate Pro product site: 	New section Features contains description of about 40 most important features of Post Affiliate Pro. You can discover all details about each feature and also you can read all technical details about this feature in our knowledge base. 	New section Videos contains nearly 20 videos about Post Affiliate Pro. Watch how easy is to install Post Affiliate Pro or how to setup some important parts of affiliate program. 	New Ultimate edition was added in our pricing model. Ultimate edition contains all features, which we developed already or we will develop in the future into Post Affiliate Pro. We have big plans with Post Affiliate Pro and Ultimate edition is chance for our customers to buy for low price future features, which could cost much more together as price of Ultimate edition. Every customer can review list of tasks waiting for development in our tasks database. In our change log you can see, that Post Affiliate Pro is under constant rapid development. 	Our website will "speak" with multiple languages soon. Currently is our website translated from English just into Slovak language, but soon we plan to add translations into languages like German, French, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Italian and other languages. I hope our effort will help you to understand advantages of our affiliate software even if you are not native English speaker. Our next plans 	In the near future we will add new section with complete list of all supported integration methods 	We plan to offer hosting of Post Affiliate Pro on our servers 	We plan to add support of new languages on our website We need your helpBecause we don't have in our team native speakers in multiple languages, we would like to ask community of our customers to help us with translation of our website into languages like German, Italian, French, Spanish, etc...If you are able to translate English text into any of those languages (or into not listed language), please don't hesitate to contact us. We will give you access to translation user interface of our website.We have two basic requirements: 	Translator is native speaker in required language 	Translator has experiences with affiliate marketing and he understands how it works (We don't want to give this task to any company, which does translations, but has no idea about affiliate marketing). Best is, if translator will have experiences directly with PAP. If you feel you passed those requirements and you have time to translate about 60 web pages, please contact us by email to support@qualityunit.com.]]></content:encoded>

					<content:encoded><![CDATA[  A lot of our visitors and customers didn't realize yet, how important is Flash Cookie Tracking in affiliate software. Post Affiliate Pro is one of the very few affiliate softwares, which support this type of visitor tracking. Applications in the same price level as is Post Affiliate Pro ($49 - $299) often doesn't support this important feature. It is included just in applications, which cost few thousands dollars. We offer it already in Starter Edition, which cost just $49.I would compare our strategy to Mercedes-Benz's strategy. MB started to use ESP system as first car manufacturer in all models of their cars, because they wanted to offer just highest quality and cared about safety of all their customers (not just for customers, which payed extra so important safety feature as ESP is).In affiliate softwares is Flash Cookie tracking so important, as ESP in cars.Why is flash cookie so important ?Simply your affiliates need to rely on quality of tracking and they want to be sure, that even if visitor will delete his browser cookies, sale will be still correctly assigned to him. Confidence of merchant's affiliates is most important factor. No affiliate will invest money and time into promotion of your products, if he will not be sure, that his commissions will be always correctly assigned to him.How Post Affiliate Pro tracks visitors ?This tracking method is implemented in Post Affiliate Pro few years already. I think first time it was introduced together with Post Affiliate Pro 3 and improved version of this flash tracking method we implemented also into Post Affiliate Pro 4 (included in all editions).Flash cookies tracking method has in Post Affiliate Pro highest priority.Just after we will not be able to track visitor with flash cookie, we are using tracking by browser cookies (first party cookies - located on merchant's destination page, than third party cookies - saved on domain, where is installed PAP) and as last option we use IP tracking.Session ID tracking we don't use at all, because it is the worst tracking method, which has in 99% no value and beginning from PAP4 we removed it from tracking methods even if it was in PAP3.When will Flash cookie tracking not work ?It is clear, that Flash cookie tracking will not work in case your visitors doesn't have flash player installed. Good news is, that 98,7% of all Internet users have Flash player installed in their browsers and Flash is Internet standard, which no one ignores.If you are still deciding, which affiliate software you will buy, please compare not just fancy design of different applications, but also features like tracking methods, promotion materials like Rebranded PDF documents, site replication of dynamic web sites and performance of application (e.g. how much impressions per second can be tracked on average server).Who is using Flash cookie tracking already ?When I looked into folder on my computer, where are flash cookies stored, I see cookies of big Internet players as Microsoft (MSN), Google, Flickr, Skype, Twitter, Ikea, Paypal, Youtube and Quality Unit :-)As you see, all big companies know, why tracking of visitors is important and they use all possible options of tracking as well as we do in Quality Unit.]]></content:encoded>

					<content:encoded><![CDATA[  I would like to open discussion about splitting of commissions between more affiliates.Current situation in affiliate softwares (including Post Affiliate Pro)- if customer is referred by more than one affiliate, you need to decide if first or last affiliate will receive commissions- often merchant is contacted by affiliate, that he has feeling, that commissions should be assigned to him, because he was in contact with customer .... examination of transaction shows, that commission was assigned to another affiliate (e.g. he referred customer sooner)In current situation needs merchant to decide, if first or last affiliate will receive commissions (It is basic setup of cookie overwriting in Configuration menu of Merchant panel).Still there is question, what is more fair.Should receive commissions first affiliate, because he was first, who introduced your product to visitor?Or should receive commissions last affiliate, because he persuade visitor to buy it?Biggest question is what to do with affiliates, which referred customer to your site, but were not first and not last ... they referred customer somewhere in the middle of decision process, but they receive no commissions currently.Our current situationIn Quality Unit's affiliate program we defined, that always first affiliate will receive commissions, but we feel every day more and more, that we should divide commissions between all referring affiliates. Not just first, not just last, but really ALL.Our suggestion We will track in transaction all affiliatesMerchant will be able to define bonus X% for first affiliate and bonus Y% for last affiliate from commissionAll affiliates, which referred this transaction will receive rest of commissions divided by number of affiliates.Example:First affiliate will have bonus 20%Last Affiliate will have bonus 20%Together was sale referred by 10 different affiliatesCommission will be computed in following way:All Affiliates referring this transaction will receive: (100 - 20 - 20)% / number of affiliates = 6%First Affiliate will receive 6% + bonus 20% = 26%Last Affiliate will receive 6% + bonus 20% = 26%Do you feel it is interesting feature? Should we invest our development resources into this feature?]]></content:encoded>
