Google Affiliate network has excellent tools for recruiting affiliates, are you not using them?

Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular ways of online income. To earn more from affiliate you need a lot of visitors. You can generate visitors to your site through performing seo jobs. Hopefully it will works to fulfill your demand.

You should try the affiliate networks - honestly. But you have to be really carefull whichone to chose for your product - they say that each product is for a different network -

I see this is an old-ish thread that's been re-opened so taking my stab at a response here for those who may still be reading and have same questions.

Many folks make the mistake of thinking that recruitment is enough. If you want to increase the # of active/producing affiliates joined to your program you need to be actively reaching out to them with information that is relevant/valuable to them on a regular basis.

As well, in part, the % of those joined who produce, will depend on your screening procedures for those who apply to your program - quality of those recruited/accepted can affect the % of those joined who are doing anything to contribute to your bottom line.

Can't say it enough - the industry is about relationships - always has been always will be no matter how many other things may change. So work on those and you should see better results - better placements, etc. - it's not enough to just have an affiliate program or to have affiliates joined to the program. Someone has to act as account manager in reaching out to these folks and negotiating deals w/ them that produce that highly coveted mutual win. Also it's a long term thing, not something you do to see results overnight.

I don't know the GAN interface very well - Just inherited a program where I'm running with them and multiple others and we are phasing that one out. So unfortunately can't answer your question off the top of my head about referring URLs but many networks offer a feature to get this information. Contact advertiser support at Google Affiliate Network about it - they will get back to you within something like 48 hours with an answer.
