A simple text link to your relevant online store from this Web site is free. Just send me your URL, and I will visit your site and collect all the information I need. If I have questions after visiting your site, I’ll ask you then.
If you want to be sure your store gets into a particular category on this site, let me know what you’re thinking, and I’ll see if your request fits what I’m thinking. Of course, if your store fits into more than one main category, I’ll list it more than once.
High-Ranking Text Link
In most lists on the site (not the alphabetical ones), affiliate stores’ text links are listed first. If you want your text link to be higher on a list, start an affiliate program for me to join or, if you already have one, just be sure to approve my request to join your program when I apply. (If your affiliate program isn’t visible from any of your Web pages, let me know where to find it.)
Whether or not there are affiliate stores in a category, the order of the remaining links is determined by the database in which I store the info. (I haven’t set it up to give me any certain order—the order is determined by whoever wrote the database code.)
Google AdWords
I have ad spots at the top of most of my pages that run Google ads. It’s possible to get your banner or
text ad into one of those spots through the Google AdWords program. I've given you the prime page space top and center, so make use of it!
I know it would be helpful for me to provide step-by-step instructions for how to do this, but I just cannot keep up with their changing user interface anymore. I go to all the work to write out the instructions, and then they change something making my instructions obsolete, so you'll have to figure that part out yourself.
Image Ads
If you have interest in running an image ad on my site, I can accommodate that too. I use Google Ad Manager to administer agreements directly between myself and an advertiser. I can set up an ad spot on any page and most likely in the size you want. Most of my ad spots are size 300x250--I like that size, but I can possibly set up other sizes depending on the design of the particular page. Right now I charge $10 CPM for uncontested ad spots. That's $10 USD per 1000 impressions. For most pages, I can give you an estimate of the number of impressions a page will receive in a month ahead of time.
The ad can be set to quit running after your budgeted montly amount has been met.
Alternatively, the ad can be set to run for a specified time period (e.g., one month or more)
Affiliate Programs
I love to join affiliate programs--if you keep current with them and pay on time. If I join your affiliate program, in the very least your text link will rank higher than other text links. If you provide image ads through your affiliate program, I will probably make use of those too. I particularly like to decorate my site with product images provided through affiliate programs!
