Track Traffic to Website and Commissions Earned
Traffic to your site is dependent upon such factors as key words, titles, descriptions, rankings by search engines, demand for your site information, etc. Commissions earned are dependent upon traffic to the site, interest in the products advertised and the amount of commission paid per click or purchase. When you join an affiliate program, an account is normally set up allowing you to track statistics about your site including such things as the number of people accessing your site, clicks on ads, and commissions earned. Knowing this allows you to make changes to your site to increase website traffic, clicks on ads, purchases and commissions earned. Commissions may be paid monthly or when a specific amount is accumulated in your account. Often, you are given a choice of payment by check or direct deposit to your bank account.
