It’s a fact of life :)

Even seasoned affiliate marketing pros are not immune to them.

Do any of these sound familiar to you?

So, here are a Few Common Affiliate Mistakes you may be making :(

2. Relying Solely on Graphic Advertising

Banners and buttons are useful tools for affiliates, but they’re not the be-all and end-all of affiliate marketing. They rarely generate nearly as many sales as a good product review or other useful content. There’s nothing wrong with using graphics, just don’t make that your only approach.

3. Promoting Too Many Products

Some affiliates join so many programs that they can’t keep up with them all. If keeping up with all the products you’re promoting is a full-time job, how will you have time to actually promote them?

Other affiliates concentrate their efforts on just one or two products. While it’s good to have focus, expanding your offerings allows for greater income potential.

5. Failure to Explore Different Methods of Promotion

When you find something that brings in affiliate sales, it can be tempting to just stick with it and not try anything else. But there are many ways to promote your affiliate links. If you don’t give them a try, you could be missing out on a lot of profits.

7. Spamming

With all the spammers there are out there, you’d think there was a lot of money in it. But whether it’s sending out unsolicited emails or creating splogs, spamming will get you nowhere fast.

You’ll lose the trust of your potential customers, and you could get in trouble with your ISP, your web host, and the search engines (and possibly even the law). If you’re not familiar with the actions that could be considered spamming, take some time to learn about them before you go any further.
