How To Earn Sneaky Commissions
By Tim Gross - Internet Business Blog |
Here’s a sneaky way to make commissions (or to pay commissions to people who link to you) even if they give you a direct link without any affiliate tracking ID.
I consider this pretty controversial because of some of the things you can do with it, and I’ll get to the controversial part in a minute…
- Turns your Wordpress blog into an instant affiliate program that pays commissions on your products when someone links to your blog.
. - Works with virtually any commission-giving system, from Clickbank to PayDotCom to $7 Scripts, etc.
. - You can set it up so other blogs linking to you don’t even have to add an affiliate code, they can just link to you DIRECTLY and still earn commissions.
…And here’s where the controversial part comes in:
- You can even set it up to pay commissions to people who link to your site directly in a forum.
In other words, if someone on the Warrior Forum (which doesn’t allow affiliate links in posts) linked directly to your website (listing it as a good resource or product option etc), you could set it so that all traffic coming from that Forum Post ID earned the original poster a commission.
Yes, like a lot of things, this has abuse potential. It’s also a very powerful tool when used correctly.
In fact, with a website running this script, you could even link to a 3rd-party website that had a review of their product, and when readers clicked on YOUR link to the 3rd-party review, YOU would earn the commission if the reader clicked through from the article.
There are a multiple other clever things that can be done with it.
