We’ve made a lot of predictions about the state of affiliate marketing in 2018, but perhaps the one most deserving of attention is FTC compliance and regulations. For the first time, the FTC reached out to individuals in 2017, reminding them to “clearly and conspicuously disclose their relationships to brands when promoting or endorsing products through social media.” It will be crucial in the coming year for brands, bloggers, and influencers to properly disclose. To provide further education and clarification, read through these common FTC compliance questions.
Broken or dead links are a nightmare. They affect your visitor’s experience on your website and can even hurt your site’s SEO rankings – no one wants that! The Invalid Links Report allows Affiliates to quickly see any links that aren’t working or that might need to be replaced. No more hunting, randomly clicking, or ignoring these dead links! Use the report to see the Merchant, Banner ID number, the reason that the link is invalid, and the full link. Not only that, but you can also see the exact date and time that the link was clicked.
Whether it is a specific category, product, or promotional page on a Merchant website, the goal of any affiliate marketer is to direct your audience to the most relevant information in hopes of influencing them to make a purchase. With the ShareASale Custom Link tool, affiliates aren’t restricted to the premade links within the interface. This tool gives the option to create custom affiliate links for a Merchant and to hand-pick the landing page.
