South Africa... here we come...

TrafficSynergy has had a hectic time. We have a number of new campaigns.... but I would definately say the hottest we have is the Luxury South African Holiday Campaign. It not geotargeted at all so will convert for absolutely any traffic and it is multi-dimensional as it has both creatives and banners linking to a number of different types and places to holiday.

For Southern African accommodation establishments including 3-5 star hotels, game lodges, villas, apartments, self catering cottages, guest houses. Customers can make reservations and receive email confirmation within a short period of time. Includes shark cage diving, helicopter rides and safari booking. Commission is paid on Nett Revenue. This campaign will convert.

There are absolutely no restrictions on the marketing of this campaign (except spam of course). To check it out, simply log into your TrafficSynergy.com account and have a look. And.... as tempting as it is, dont spend the rest of the day deciding on which days would be best for your next vacation to South Africa.

On the more educated side and due to the popularity with SelectADegree - Walden University, we have acquired 4 more SelectADegree campaigns.


They are
SelectADegree.com - Norwich University MBA
SelectADegree.com - Keller
SelectADegree.com - Keller University Centers
SelectADegree.com - AT Still University
All 4 campaigns are online study courses. US leads only. No incentivization.

And if you have South African traffic, we are undergoing a huge launch to include campaigns for South Africans. Remember, the "BY country" feature in the campaign section of your affiliate interface lets you choose which traffic you are targeting. So if you are looking for South African offers, simply select South Africa and although the list looks minimal at the moment, we are growing it at an incredible rate.... so watch this space. Also, any campaign with ZA written in front of it, is definately South African traffic friendly.

Our first campaign focused towards traffic from South Africa is ZA PowerBoxes. Power outages in the Western Cape have resulted in hundreds of businesses not being able to perform any work. Many offices and small shops had to close their doors until the power was restored. A generator sounds like a good backup option, but who would want to go outside into the rain this winter to start up a generator, not to mention the noise. Powerboxes are the solution.

Let us know your thoughts, good or bad, we want to hear (or read), so email us at Thoughts@TrafficSynergy.com. We are here to make the program good for you!

MONDAY, MONday, Monday, monday.....

The week begins and so do the energy levels. As you move into work mode, we decided this week to give you, not a double boost, not a triple boost, but 4 times the push to get the week started with.

And to go with the theme of energy, our first campaign is Actipril. There are many contributing factors to lowered energy levels - stress, inactivity, diet and lack of sleep. Fatigue and exhaustion are the body’s way of telling you that enough is enough! It means that the energy in your body has been depleted by stress or by the struggles of everyday life.

Actipril is an invigorating blend of all-natural herbs to help give you the boost you need to help kick your body’s energy levels into overdrive.

The second campaign is a Celladerm Self-Tanning.

INCENTIVIZABLE, perfect for Summer. Free trial for anti-aging, self-tanning product. Two page form, bronze and summer-oriented. Pays on ALL submissions.

And then there is Madonna Confessions Tour: Free Tickets.

Answer a few simple questions and get FREE* tickets to Madonna’s “Confessions” concert tour. Most shows are already sold out, and tickets are selling for hundreds of dollars over face value on eBay and other sites. But we’re giving them away at no cost, just for completing a quick survey. Madonna’s current tour runs for only a limited time, so take advantage of this fantastic offer today!

And lastly, Robert G. Allen. "My simple, yet proven strategies for generating multiple streams of unlimited income work - now let me take you by the hand and prove it!..." "On live TV I promised the world I would make $24,000 in 24 hours, and... I failed - instead I 'cracked the code' and made $94,532.44 in 24 hours."

All 4 campaigns can be promoted via email and contextual marketing and there are no PPC restrictions. All camapigns want US traffic and allow for third party tracking. All 3 campaigns (just not the Madonna one) can be incentivised.

End of the Weekend

It is the end of the weekend and the end of the Campaign Bruce Berman Shows You How. I have just been watching the movie Alive. Wow, it makes you realize how precious life is, and how important it is to enjoy every minute of it.

Thus the ending of this campaign is more an annoyance than a tradegy as all it actually means is that you need to log into your TrafficSynergy account and pick another campaign. BabyMoneyTree would be an excellent replacement as it is currently showing fantastic conversions.



We also have a full handful of unbelievable campaigns about to be launched on TrafficSynergy, so watch this space as it could be as early as tomorrow!

The 5 Top Reasons why Affiliates join an Affiliate Network

An affiliate network is a meeting ground for advertisers and affiliates to “meet”. There are possibly 100’s of good reasons why both advertisers and affiliates can benefit from signing up to a network, but in this article we will focus solely on the 5 top reasons why affiliates benefit from being part of an affiliate network.

1. Campaign Selection: An affiliate network gives affiliates access to 100's of niche merchant's products and services. The network uses it’s time and resources to find the clever publishers who have figured out new ways to drive converting traffic. It also provides a greater variety of top performing, reputable campaigns. In this way, affiliates will easily get exposed to upmarket products such as banner rotations. With a single affiliate network, affiliates can easily work with multiple advertisers, multiple offers and multiple payment style options such as pay per click, pay per lead, pay per impression, etc. all under one umbrella, the affiliate network.

2. One Single Relationship: The relationship between the advertiser and the affiliate is of utmost importance. These relationships are necessary for structuring increased commissions (if the affiliates volume increases), in advertisers delivering affiliate-specific content, and in the advertiser and affiliate working together to assist the affiliate in maximizing the traffic to his site. The affiliate only deals with one advertiser, namely the affiliate network, rather than each of the merchants individually. This frees up a lot of space on the affiliates calendar since the affiliate does not have to use any time building relationships with anyone except their affiliate network manager. Affiliate marketing is about relationships, and that is then all taken care of by the affiliate network. The affiliate network will provide top quality support and a great training area for the affiliate to build up their skills, learn and grow.

3. Real Time Tracking: Testing and comparing each and every change and idea is fundamental for taking an affiliate’s business from strength to strength. The most important tool for testing is real time tracking. This allows the affiliate to know immediately how their new idea is translating and helps to guide the affiliate as to whether it is an idea worth pursuing. The software to track impressions, clicks, leads and sales for each campaign can be both pricey and require a lot of upkeep. The network will provide this service for free to their affiliates. The network will also provide affiliate with advanced reporting tools for checking their stats, graphs for analyzing trends, and even cookie testing capabilities for monitoring fraud.

4. Risk of Payment: Every advertiser has an element of risk as to whether you will actually receive the payments from them. As many companies can be virtual or on the opposite side of the world from where the affiliate is based, it is often very difficult to avoid doing business with dishonest advertisers. This means that no matter how much revenue the affiliate generates, some advertisers will never pay the affiliates. Joining an affiliate network gives the affiliate much stronger protection. The network will have built strong relationships with a number of the advertisers it works with and thus there is minimal chance the affiliate will not get paid.

5. Monthly, Correct Payments: Affiliate networks ensure all payments are checked and paid monthly (or as alternatively agreed). This means that the affiliate does not have to waste valuable time checking and reconciling the advertisers’ figures.

The role of an affiliate is to maximize the traffic to their site and provide rich and useful content to their site. This keeps an ever growing visitor base arriving at their site, and ensures the visitors look around the site before exiting the site. An affiliate network encourages the affiliates to concentrate on these vital functions by assisting the affiliate in maximizing the spend of each visitor the affiliate attracts.


Eric Edelstein is CEO of TrafficSynergy.com, an affiliate network that has consolidated payments, affiliate managers ready to help affiliates with any questions they might have, multiple offers, and a team that loves to lie on the beach (but only on weekends...with PDA's).
