The Point of a Clerks Affiliate Store Website!
I remember back when there was only one or two Seocheckout Affiliate Stores about and they were pretty simple and to the point, they listed services with the owner's Affiliate ID attached in order to bring in new sign-ups and earn on their purchases. Since then, with new affiliate store software being made, old software being improved, etc.. and there being a lot more stores about now, I think the whole point of what they are for has been lost a bit. In my opinion, and what I see to be right is this..
(A) Internet >>> (B) Affiliate Store >>> (C) Seocheckout >>> (D) Purchases / Commissions
What you want is to get people to from the Internet onto your affiliate store though advertising, etc.. then when they are on your affiliate store, you want them to move onto Seocheckout and sign up as soon as possible, once they have signed up on Seocheckout, you have done all you can for that person and you just want/hope/need them to purchase, just continue on and try to get more people doing the same.. From A to B, then onto C to sign up as soon as possible.
What I am seeing a lot of now is people wanting to keep potential sign ups on there affiliate stores. For example, affiliate store scripts which have the option for people to sign up to them, so basically the Seocheckout Affiliate Store building a member base of its own. Now, building a member base for your website, isn't a bad thing, and I have a couple of websites myself with member bases, but not my affiliate stores, on them I want to increase the Seocheckout Member Base with people affiliated to me. It is hard getting a lot of sign ups on Seocheckout, but by adding the step where they sign up to your website first, to ultimately still sign up on Seocheckout is just not the way to go in my opinion.
What an affiliate store should do is encourage its visitors to buy the services listed on it, have different pages listing services of different price, different categories, from different sellers, also add pages or filters for pricing, member level, most sales, most reviews, etc.. Encourage the visitors to order and sign up while doing it. There is no need for your affiliate store's visitors to have the option to sign up to the affiliate store, have a balance on the affiliate store, or anything similar.
This is just my opinion, and what I believe is the right way to do/run an affiliate store. Feel free to reply below with your thoughts about anything I have said, also ask me anything too and ill get back to you straight away.
