Creating an Income With Commission Junction

Yesterday, I went over some basic information about creating a website that can lead to earning an online income. Now I am going to break down ways of earning an income by companies. Today I am going to concentrate on Commission Junction.

Commission Junction is a overlying company that has numerous income earning companies inside. The first thing you need to do is set up a Free account with Commission Junction. After this is set-up, you can go and apply for companies that are associated with your subject. For instance, if you are creating a website about dieting, you could find companies that are associated with dieting inside Commission Junction. Once you find a company you can apply to them, some may take up to a week or so, if you are accepted then you will receive some graphics to place on your website.

Also within the companies that are offered is something called conversion ratings. This is the rating that they show for the amount of conversions a particular product has. The reason you want to look at this is because it could have an affect on your income earning potential. You want to find the best conversion rated companies you can to post on your website.

Once you have everything set up, you are ready to place the advertisement on your website and track your progress. You progress or performance can be tracked in the back office of Commission Junction. Simply log into your account and click the tab that says performance. Inside that link, it will give you performance ratings, they will tell you how many times the advertisement was shown and how many times it was clicked on. This is very important to watch. Actually placing your advertisement in different locations of your website may give you a better earning performance. This will require some testing on your part, personally I usually place the ad's in one spot for about a month and track the performance and then make adjustments.

As always, you income earning performance will greatly depend on the amount of traffic you get to your website. You can look over the different topics that I have already covered in my blog to see how to get some quality traffic to your site.
