What is the best way to promote your tours and activities on my website?
On website:
– Standard way is to write description of specific tour or Dominican tours in general and set link on 2, 3 places / anchor keywords through the article.
– Banners are getting less clicks (banner blindness) but if you have good position for them (in the sidebar, or above the header Menu) you can get nice interest, clicks and sales. Also you can link few images with your affiliate link and set them in your article.
– Dedicated Landing Pages are highly recommended, so you have enough space for good descriptions, text links with relevant anchors, banner on the side of the description, few images, nice call to action… It’s clear that more invested time in presentation of the offer should lead to better conversion. It’s up to you to make it profitable.
Off website:
– in social media (Twitter/Facebook/ Google Plus/Pinterest/Instagram/etc), nice message or call to action, with images or videos and link with your affiliate username
– travel / family friendly / tourism/ blogs and forums where is highly appropriate to mention or recommend the specific tour or Outback Adventures website (without spam, please!)
– if you have travel agency and official double opt-in newsletter related to tours/travel, you can send information about Outback Adventures.
Every action, message, post and click have potential to make commission, so get the word out to as many people as possible!
How to write a description for the Outback Adventures?
To avoid duplicated content in search engines (and possible ranking issue for Outback Adventures website) please don’t just copy/paste tour details and descriptions from our website. We highly suggest writing your own descriptions, to make the content unique. In the long term, it is going to help you.
Better conversions are coming with good headlines, quality call to action, nice page style and layout, and original descriptive text.
Use photos. “A picture is worth a thousand words”. You can download (right click, “save as…”) and use photos from any of the tour pages to spice up the description (of course, don’t use fishing photos to describe safari tour). You can link those photos with your affiliate link, promoting specific tour or Outback Adventures home page. Please don’t fetch photos directly from our site, but download it and upload to your site.
Please note: We can organize free tour for you! We understand that for good, original description agents and affiliates need to experience the tour, take photos and see for themselves what they promote. If you are coming to Dominican Republic and you are our affiliate, contact us and we will provide your free tour. It would be really helpful if you already have some sales we know that you are serious in your work and you can influence more sales to his tour.
What are the payment terms?
5 days from any payment money will be available for you. We want to make our affiliates happy, so we will not wait one month or even 90 days as others are doing. To repeat: commission will be paid on completed (not canceled) bookings.
In case of bad weather we can reschedule the tour, but for other unseen circumstances where we need to cancel the tour, Outback Adventures is returning full payment and commission will not be calculated.
