BizRate Relaunch: quick and easy price comparison

You will notice that the pages look cleaner but the main improvement is really that it the site is now a lot faster. This means you will find what you are looking for a lot quicker which will make home shopping even more convenient. Besides the speed, the re-launched BizRate site has been given a more consistent looks and feel. This makes it much easier to navigate and find the product you are looking for in no time.

As the banners and links of the Publisher Program are powered by BizRate UK, this change brings along benefits to you as Publisher, too.

Of course this makes our  shoppers happy. And with people liking the BizRate site and getting into the shopping mood, your shopping hints will  pay out for you, too.  With our fast refreshed site you should be earning more though the Publisher Program.

Please have a look yourself and see the difference. We also appreciate your feedback. Tell us about how you like the new BizRate.

How many ads are too many?

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

If you are new to affiliate marketing you are probably asking yourself questions about how to make the most of your adverts?

Many believe that the answer is in sheer volume: “if you have enough banners on your site, someone must finally click on at least one?”. At Shopzilla Publisher UK, we don’t restrict the number of adverts you can place on your webpage, but we actively encourage our Publishers to optimize their ads thus limiting the displayed ads to the best performing ones!

Here are a few tips you might find helpful:

  • Remember, “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander” is not always true when it comes to advertising so test different formats of the ads and find out what works best for you! How? With the use of ID-placements.
  • Try to “refresh” your banners ever so often. (It’s particularly important with static banners!). This way you have the opportunity to convert your returning visitors!
  • If you want to maximize the possibility of a click, think of embedding text links in your text. Using text links enables you to turn every reference to a product into revenue opportunity! Read more about how to use the Publisher program for custom text links.

As always, if you have any questions, please contact us using the contact form.

Your friendly Shopzilla Publisher Team
