May iContact Affiliate Newsletter

Date Wednesday, May 21st, 2008 Posts Posted by Matt Enders

Dear Affiliates,

We are now two months into our recent launch of the Commission Junction affiliate program and are extremely happy with the results we’ve seen. It’s been interesting seeing all the creative promotions you have used to generate sales of iContact. This May issue of our Affiliate Newsletter will deal mainly with important reminders on how to promote us best and program facts you may have missed.

Our PPC Policy is Simple and Open:

In promoting our service through paid search advertising we just ask for one simple rule to be followed, please don’t bid on our branded keywords. You are more then welcome to directly link to our site and to use our domain as you wish. You can also bid as aggresively as you want on any other keywords.

We are also happy to help out as much as possible. If you need a list of keywords to help get you started please contact us at affiliates@icontact.com and we’ll send you a small list of our stronger keywords to use.

Remember, when developing ads for PPC it’s important to create several different ads to use with each keyword to see which converts the best. The quality of your ad and site can also determine the amount you pay per click, so if you work hard on both you can save a nice amount of money.

High Converting Links:

In the first two months of working within our program we have seen some of our creative outperform others. The best of the best are below for your use.
