The rise of mobile in affiliate marketing is a hot topic on the eConsultancy blog today, after Matt Swan offered his latest findings on the growth in the space, building on his previous analysis back in March under the premise that 2011 was set to be the year of mobile commerce.
Affiliate Window has released their mobile sales data to shed some light on the situation, and the results throughout the second quarter have been encouraging for those retailers and affiliates looking forward to the big mobile pay day.
As an industry, affiliate marketing can occasionally get a bad rap for not being transparent with users. We believe there’s no reason why this can’t be a thing of the past if you follow some good practice and open communication principles. Whilst there are some poor websites out there that abuse affiliate marketing, there are also many content-rich editorial sites created by dedicated people who just want to make some money from what they love doing by using affiliate links.
This is a win-win-win marketplace, with publishers making money from content, merchants making more sales, and consumers getting honest recommendations and finding new products; but it’s important to be transparent as to how you make your daily bread.
