An Outstanding Feed-Generated Affiliate Website

June 13th, 2005 by Sydney Johnston

Willie Bonifacio, a very smart Australian user of our Affiliate Dominator software has just created a truly outstanding affiliate site. It’s so good that it’s definitely worth studying as an instructional manual on what to do with feeds.

http://discount-luggage-samsonite.com

There are multiple ways that this site was monetized:

1. There is an AdSense banner across the top, directly below the header. This is ‘top of the fold’ placement - an old newspaper term that acknowledges we read from left to right and top to bottom. Therefore, our most prominent position is across the top, or ‘above the fold’ of a newspaper.

2. Next we see “Search Our Main Store For Your Favorite Luggage Brand” which leads to a search button. Using this button will take a customer to Overstock.com luggage, who is the affiliate merchant for the luggage on this site.

3. Below this we see “Browse Luggage Items”. These are index pages that lead a customer directly to every piece of luggage currently for sale on Overstock. This site displays approximately 475 pieces of name brand luggage, all at competitive prices because they are overstocks.

4. On the right side of each page, there are more relevant listings from AdSense.

5. Below the Google ads is a picture that says, “Click On Image To Check Out This Featured Item”. This is a featured item at Overstock, appropriate for a luggage site, and is always a bargain.

6. Below is an Overstock banner.

What about the content on this site?

There are six sections in the navigation bar across the top:

* Discount Luggage
* All Luggage
* Choosing Luggage
* Packing Tips
* Buying Tips
* Size Tips

“Discount Luggage” is the home page.

The “All Luggage” page is a sitemap, or index listing, of all the luggage for sale on discount-luggage-samsonite.com and is software-generated.

“Choosing Luggage”, “Packing Tips”, “Buying Tips” and “Size Tips” are all informational pages - but the author used other people’s articles, giving full credit to the authors. He simply added one paragraph of his own as a preface to the article.

What about the other content? The pictures and descriptions of the luggage and the information at the bottom of every page, entitled “Luggage Tips - Luggage In The News”? All of this was generated by Affiliate Dominator feed software.

In other words, the owner of this site created an approximately 500 page site in a couple of hours! This is a nice looking site which provides genuine information about luggage, as well as 475 product listings, with six different income streams. It is of value to both customers and the search engines!

Mr. Bonifacio’s tasks:

* Purchase a domain name
* Lay out the design of the site
* Put together a home page
* Write four paragraphs as headings for the informational pages
* The affiliate feed software did the rest

Well done, Willie.
