The Viral Article Bank - A New Approach to Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate programs are taking the Internet by storm. Webmasters are joining affiliate programs in droves in an attempt to monetize their websites. But most are unsuccessful, and don't understand why.

Surrey, BC, Canada, March 23, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Affiliate programs are taking the Internet by storm. Webmasters are joining affiliate programs in droves in an attempt to monetize their websites. But most are unsuccessful, and don't understand why. Sean Proske has studied the reasons, and has developed a turnkey system that any affiliate marketer can plug into and immediately overcome their main obstacles.
Simply by placing ads for affiliate programs on a website, the site owner has an opportunity to turn their traffic into cash by receiving a commission on each sale referred from his or her website. Well placed ads for products and services that are relevant to the website's content can yield a very high rate of conversion from visitor to buyer; and with no overhead or product to ship it has the potential to be highly lucrative, but only if the following problems can be overcome. Articleoverdrive.com provides real solutions.
The main problem for most who participate in affiliate programs is a lack of good content for their websites that will actually "sell" visitors on clicking the ads displayed on their pages. Without good content (that is relevant to the ads being displayed), a website has no credibility to make a recommendation, so a recommendation of a particular product or service (the affiliate ad) has no impact. Furthermore, if a visitor doesn't find content to be useful and interesting then he or she will click out of the site long before even noticing an affiliate ad... even if that person might be interested in what is offered for sale.
The next problem is a lack of fresh content. It isn't sufficient to have good content; it has to be constantly updated. In most industries it typically takes an average of 5 points of contact to make a sale. This is no different in affiliate marketing, and without fresh content that will draw repeat visits, a webmaster is losing the opportunity to "sell" visitors on his or her credibility to make recommendations on what they should purchase.
Finally, the third problem for those engaged in affiliate marketing is a lack of traffic. Clearly, the amount one can earn in affiliate commissions is directly tied to the number of people coming to his or her website and viewing the ads. Those who have deep enough pockets to finance an extensive advertising campaign can generate massive amounts of traffic, but the first two content-related problems are often still in play, and that means a lower than optimal conversion rate and return on investment for those advertising dollars.
Articleoverdrive.com provides the solution to all three of these problems, and it has the potential to make a real difference in the bottom line for everyone who is involved with affiliate marketing.
First, articleoverdrive.com is an article bank with over 40,000 articles in 77 categories. Article submissions are accepted, thereby creating a steady stream of new content. Typically when a Webmaster of an article bank runs affiliate ads on his or her site, those ads perform very well in terms of generating revenue. The reason for this is that none of the three aforementioned problems are in play with an article bank.
Article banks offer good content, and that content is constantly updated. Article banks are also powerful traffic magnets that constantly attract new and repeat visitors in large numbers. Whether you're a person searching for information on any given topic, an author wanting to submit an article for publication, or a Webmaster or newsletter publisher looking for new content... you're going to end up at an article bank.
Article banks are also incredibly easy to find, which is another reason they receive so much traffic. The good content provides a reason for people to link to them from their own sites (this is usually a condition of using an article obtained from an article bank), so the resulting link popularity combined with thousands of keyword rich pages puts them right at the top of search engine results for nearly every conceivable search term.
The difference between articleoverdrive.com and a typical article bank is that it was created in a way that allows the content to dynamically become a part of another website. With a free articleoverdrive.com membership and a quick upload of a few scripts to one's website, all articleoverdrive.com content in a category relevant to the member's website (or the entire article bank) will be pushed out and served from the member's website on search engine-friendly URLs on the member site's own domain. The pushed content will also be branded to match the including website's look and feel. It will appear in every way to be a part of that website.
This differs from the existing syndication services most article banks provide. What is typically used is an RSS/XML feed that allows websites to include article titles and summaries only. That requires visitors to click a link to read the "full story", which takes that visitor to the article bank that served the feed, where he or she will see that article bank's affiliate ads... and the webmaster who initially drew his or her visitor to that content will lose the opportunity for an affiliate commission on any resulting sales.
In addition to providing a real solution to the problem of maintaining high quality content and keeping it up to date, articleoverdrive.com offers webmasters an opportunity to draw a high volume of additional traffic to their websites.
This is done through an affiliate program that pays webmasters by providing inbound links to their sites. When a Webmaster includes articleoverdrive.com content on his or her site, visitors (many of whom have websites of their own) will see some articleoverdrive.com branding that informs them that they can include the content they're viewing on their own websites. In the event that visitor signs up for an account, the referring webmaster will receive a partner listing on the articleoverdrive.com pages that are displayed on the referred site.
The partner listings go five levels deep on referred sites. That means that if a Webmaster referred just ten other members, and they each referred ten, and so on then by the fifth level, that member would have 111,110 inbound links. That many inbound links would directly drive a large volume of traffic to any website. Furthermore, it would dramatically increase the website's link popularity, which has a direct bearing on the order many search engines return their results in. Combined with a large number of keyword rich pages provided by articleoverdrive.com content, member websites will have a real advantage when it comes to generating traffic.
Lastly, articleoverdrive.com provides members with the option of running their own ads throughout the network of member sites for a nominal flat fee, regardless of how many ads are served or how many clicks are received. This will allow webmasters to gain a lot of exposure with a small budget, and also test their ads to determine click-thru and conversion rates before running them on a pay-per-click system such as Adwords. Pay-per-click search engines can work extremely well for advertisers, but the trial and error phase of testing a new ad can get expensive very quickly. Articleoverdrive.com will make the learning curve much less costly for its members.
