Pepperjam affiliate network has created a new addition to their Pepperjam creatives, product feeds and traditional banners and text links and that is a store builder.

This is very cool, because generally visitors have become immune to banners and often they are completely ignored on websites. A great way to get sales is to showcase individual products with details and to make them look like they are a part of your websites and not blatant advertisement.

With Pepperjam Store Builder you can easily create color and style customized showcase pages of merchant products in 4 EASY STEPS:

1. SELECT MERCHANT/SELECT CATEGORIES

2. FILTER FOR KEYWORDS and RESULTS

3. CUSTOMIZE COLORS AND STYLES

4. COPY AND PASTE THE AUTO GENERATED CODE TO YOUR WEB PAGES and YOU GET:

Very effective for affiliate marketing! This way you can mix up relevant merchant products to your websites because you can feature different products on different pages. I recommend you check out the store builder and test it out on your sites. Store builder creatives are very effective in getting clicks and sales.

Pepperjam continues to excel in support and flexibility for their affiliates and, if you sign up with Pepperjam as an affiliate they will give you a $10 sign up bonus. Join Pepperjam Network and Receive a $10 Sign On Bonus

Useful Techniques for Store Builder Pages

1. Create separate pages for specific types of products, don’t jumble everything together. For example, page for cell phone chargers, and another for cell phone batteries, this allows for a better visitor experience and adds more pages to your sites.

2. Use colors and styles that blend well with your website design.

3. Make sure to research the keywords for each page to get the most out of search engine traffic. Often times for any main keyword like cell phone chargers, there are also low competition long tail keywords, like cheap cell phone chargers that enough people are searching for.

4. Use h1 header tags of the keywords for the title and add a snippet of content (can be even just a description of the page) above the products to optimize the on-site SEO. This way you have written content with some keyword density and not just affiliate links on the page.

Like this…

<h1>Cheap Cell phone Chargers</h1>
Browse our large selection of cheap cell phone chargers. We have all brands and models of cell phone chargers and you never have to pay retail…blah blah blah :-)

As affiliates we know the importance of having a wide variety of creatives for the affiliate marketing links we put on our affiliate marketing websites. The usual suspects of text links and banners are fine, but we know that that is not always enough, plus the fact that banners are not always the best creatives for conversions because Internet surfers have gotten immune, and often ignore banners on a website. It is always good to test out new affiliate ads and periodically shake things up on your websites and only having banners and text links can become stale and BORING!!!

Pepperjam Affiliate Network offers a fresh, new and really creative creative that is a welcome change.

Recently eBay left Commission Junction and created an in-house affiliate program, eBay Partner Network (EPN). Well, to say the least this was not eBay’s finest moment.

Soon after millions of affiliates switched their accounts from CJ to EPN, the eBay discussion forums began to be bombarded with postings of missing commissions, 0 impressions and complaints of missing ACRU’s and overall faulty tracking.

After some denial and general silence from eBay, they finally admitted that a “small percentage” of affiliates were experiencing tracking issues and specifically with ACRU’s and EPN went on to assure everyone that they are working to fix the problem as soon as possible.

Why am I telling you this? Well, first of all I am an active eBay affiliate and dedicated BANS (Build A Niche Store) user and I have several readers who are as well. I am also one of those that fell victim to EPN’s “non-existent” tracking problem, and as you can imagine I was not a happy affiliate.

Second, in general, in Affiliate Marketing it is crucial that the affiliate management program is accurate and tracks correctly, so that commissions that we all word so hard for in our Internet Marketing efforts are credited back to us correctly.

So while eBay really dropped the ball by leaving Commission Junction and creating somewhat of a fiasco with EPN, they have recently made one good decision and that is to join the Pepperjam Affiliate Network.

While most of my BANS stores tracking seemed to be consistent with EPN, two of them were not and so I decided to switch those store’s tracking to Pepperjam. And within two days of the switch I began to see impressions, clicks and commissions.

So, if you are having problems with EPN tracking or if you are not an eBay affiliate and you are looking for an accurate affiliate network that has a variety of merchants, please check out the Pepperjam Network.

I highly recommend Pepperjam, they have proven to me that their tracking works and is trustworthy and they provide me with great piece of mind.

Also, Pepperjam provides excellent support and customer service to their affiliates with response time of less than 24 hours to email support requests.

On top of everything else Pepperjam is now giving all new affiliates a $10 bonus just to sign up.
