GoldenCAN Advertiser Catalog Grows

Michael Garrity — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 20:37:00 GMT

Data feeds are great tools for affiliate marketers who want to stand apart from their peers by offering and promoting an array of products from online webstores, which provides publishers with more content and opportunities to create conversions.

Because they give affiliate marketers a broad selection of potential products to feature, data feeds provide the ability to easily tailor rich product information, culled from a single distribution platform, into higher-converting content, which gives marketers a leg up on their competitors, especially those who aren't leveraging similar technologies. The more expansive the data feed provider's catalog is, the more choices marketers have for driving and monetizing traffic, because they have more products to offer for both general and long-tail searches.

This is why it is important for affiliates to take note of the expanding product catalog of data feed solution provider GoldenCAN, who have just announced a partnership with buy.at that will integrate the affiliate network's advertisers into GoldenCAN's existening product lineup. This will not only provide more options for marketers, but also more diverse options.

GoldenCAN, which offers a variety of data feed services like Store Integration, Coupon Integration and Search Integration, will integrate buy.at into its existing technology to create more fully-featured stores with enhanced functionality that will allow affiliates "to incorporate millions of products, thousands of coupons, and recent price drops."

Monitor Affiliate Revenue With AffMeter

There are far too few tools developed exclusively for affiliate marketers. When you find one (and a good one at that) it's essential you at least try it out for yourself. One such offering I have recently come across is AffMeter, a software solution which offers statistics, analytics and reporting exclusively for affiliate marketers to see this important data from all of the major affiliate networks they participate in. With a 60-day money back guarantee - it's worth a closer look.

One of the challenges of being an affiliate is the actual management of your campaigns as most marketers use multiple affiliate networks. With AffMeter, you can view your earnings from these affiliate networks and their merchants in one place, set up accounts for multiple networks in different channels, find top revenue generating (and losing) merchants, view EPC's and make comparisons between different time periods regarding your revenue generation, and a lot more.

Many of the major affiliate networks are supported currently, including Amazon, AvantLink, Buy.at, CPA Empire, Canadian Sponsors, ClickBank, ClixGalore, CJ, Google Adsense, LinkShare, PepperJam, Performics, and a whole host of others. LinkConnector, Shareasale and Incetaclick will apparently be added in the future.

Another interesting feature is that AffMeter users can also check their Google Adwords PPC campaign costs automatically. As margins become increasingly slim for affiliates using PPC, good tools will be how you ensure profitability.
