I just wanted to give you a heads up that I uploaded 3 new banners with the new A2 Hosting logo into your affiliate administration account. The banners are sized 88×31, 120×40 and 120×60 with more on the way. Notice the 120×60 banner on the left-hand side. I also added a VPS marketing material section with banners and text links pointing to our VPS page. In addition to those links, the ads also link to our homepage, shared hosting page and reseller page.
You are able to set up custom affiliate links to any other page on A2 Hosting’s site with the “Build & Track Your Own Links” feature. If you need any help with this feature or have any other questions at all, please let me know!
I learned some interesting information about the A2 Web Hosting Affiliate Program. It actually uses a technology called “triple redundancy affiliate tracking”. This means that our affiliate program doesn’t just track based on cookies, but by IP and sessions as well. This means that even if someone clicks your affiliate link and deletes their cookies sometime before purchasing from A2 Hosting, you will still receive credit based on the other two tracking methods. With affiliate tracking sometimes under scrutiny, you never have to worry about your affiliate sales not tracking with the A2 Hosting Affiliate Program.
As an A2 Hosting affiliate, I wanted you to be one of the first to know that we have launched our brand new website. Take a look at www.a2hosting.com. A2 Hosting thought that you might be interested in this information because this is a perfect opportunity to ramp up affiliate conversions by announcing our site launch to your site and newsletter readers. Let them know about our new site with innovative packages, features and all around fresh appeal. We have new banners on the way!
To boost affiliate sales, offer them our Site Launch Celebration coupon. Use the code “a2launch”. This coupon expires August 31 and is for new customers only.
One of the best characteristics of our new site from an affiliate perspective is the fact that every page has a landing page design. Whether you have a niche site ranging in topics from PHP, Ruby, MySQL or any other technology that we support, our new page offers the perfect landing page for every topic. You can easily set up custom affiliate links in your affiliate panel under “Build & Track Your Own Links”.
If you have any questions, please let me know!
Offer the coupon code “a2hostoff10″ to your customers and they will save 10% off at A2 Hosting.
The A2 Hosting affiliate banner that performs the best, in terms of sales and clicks, is our 88×31 banner that links to our shared hosting page. If you’re ready to refer a lot of sales and maybe some clicks too, join our web hosting affiliate program today!
I haven’t posted much information about the A2 Hosting Affiliate Program recently, so I figured I should just post a little recap about the program.
Commission: You earn 300% of the first month’s sales. For example, if you refer a hosting account for $7.95 that costs per month, you earn $23.85.
2nd Tier Commission: If someone clicks on your affiliate link and signs up for the A2 Hosting affiliate program, they are put onto your second tier. For any sale that they make, you earn a 25% commission.
Cookie Life: We have a 30 day cookie. This means that when someone clicks on your affiliate link but doesn’t purchase from our site immediately, you still receive a referral commission if they come back and purchase within 30 days.
I have been in the affiliate marketing industry for just over 3 years now and I have seen my fair share of scams. The one that has bothered me the most was a company that would sell mirrored affiliate sites at extreme prices. This company purchased a domain (let’s just say as an example) abcd.com. The company would then find an affiliate marketing company that sounded very profitable ($200/sale) and make a template website for that company. Next, they would contact unwilling potential customers and tell them that they could sell them a site that needed no maintenance and could earn them $200/sale. Sounds great, right?
It wasn’t great at all. This company would charge a ridiculous set up fee as well as a per month hosting fee of $19/month for this mirrored site. So essentially if you were their 2,000th customer, they would be given you the same site as their first 1,999 customers, only your link would be abcd.com/2000. They would then sign you up for that lucrative program and just change the affiliate links on the template site to yours.
There are two big issues I have with this. One, you’re not going to sell anything with a template, mirrored site. Google penalizes for duplicate content and there was no way to edit the page to make your page unique. Second and most concerning, it is obviously a scam because of the huge investment needed that would never make any return.
Come to A2 Hosting for your affiliate site. We’ll hook you up with hosting for as low as $3.45/month without a setup fee. And yes, you’ll actually have control over your site.
I just wanted to post you a quick note regarding an update to A2 Hosting’s Affiliate Agreement. Because of A2 Hosting’s 30-day money back guarantee, we have decided to approve pending affiliate transactions 30 days after the date of when the affiliate sale occurred. This is just to make sure that affiliate sales are not refunded by the customer within the 30 day money back period. This policy was added on
It may be frustrating if you want to start a site and can’t think of a good name. You might think that all of the good domain names have already been taken, but this far from the truth.
Let’s take the scenario that you want to start a website specifically for the purpose of joining the A2 Hosting affiliate program. I would suggest purchasing the domain name LinuxHosting.com for SEO purposes. Unfortunately, this domain is unavailable. Don’t despair. Allow the site Domain Fellow to help you out. Enter the keyword linuxhosting in the “Enter Your Keyword” box. Choose the category of the site that you would like to create. In this instance, I would suggest the “Internet” category because that is the most closely related to web hosting and search.
You will be given 30 possible domain name suggestions. How about something like ezlinuxhosting.com? It is pretty catchy. After you have chosen the domain name that you would like to purchase, visit the A2 Hosting Domain Registration page, purchase the desired domain name, the desired level of hosting and you are ready to roll with your affiliate site.
