Brand your Affiliate Dating site with an excellent Banner Exchange Program

If you are promoting affiliate dating sites, you should have noticed by now that every link pointing to your site counts. Not only for marketing and search engine optimization purposes but for branding your site as well.

Branding should represent an important task in your marketing efforts. If you want people to remember your site instead of the thousands available to them it is important you know exactly how to present your advertising and creative. A clear example of an excellent branding job would be Coca-cola. Stop and think a little about what I've just said, when you think about drinking soda what are the first three brands that come to your mind?, in my case would be Coca-cola, Pepsi and 7up. You may have noticed I recalled a couple of brands which are very similar in taste. The reason is branding. These soda trademarks are heavily advertised and stay in your mind through those unique songs and beautiful commercials you see on TV.

The same concept works with your affiliate dating sites. There are hundreds of dating sites out there but one effective way to make people remember your site is through a state-of-the-art banner exchange program. Through an exchange program you can display your well designed banners in thousands of dating sites, which represents an increase in your prospects awareness about your site and an increase in your daily traffic.

These are some important aspects you should remember when creating a banner:

A. Keep in mind you want to attract an audience. You may use flashing texts or animations to achieve such goal but don't overdo it because you don't want your banner to be remembered as an annoying advertisement.
B. Increase your CTR (Click-through rate) by displaying quality images in your banners.
C. Have a good tracking system in place. You can use awstats which is a server side traffic tracking script, statcounter or many others.
D. Test, test again and then some more. Remember that once you create and exchange your banners your job is not yet done. You need to evaluate the banners pulling good-targeted traffic, keep the ones with a great CTR and erase from the system the ones with a great deal of impressions but few clicks.

What do I mean by "erase the ones with a great deal of impressions"?, well it simply means that if your banner is being displayed to a lot of people but no one is clicking on it, then you should compare it to the ones having the most clicks so that you can improve it and increase the click through rate. If it doesn't work, then erase it and create a new banner.

It is highly important to remember that if you are advertising a cellphone site, you have to go to a banner exchange program which holds cellphone related sites. The same concept applies to dating sites. If you want to increase your traffic and attract a highly targeted audience then advertise within same niche. The best dating banner exchange program available is found at DateClix, stop by and increase your traffic today.
