There are 5 basic online affiliate marketing sites. Each has its own advantages and its own flaws, but most importantly, each has a specific purpose. There is more than one way to make money online, as these examples will clearly show, and it is important for you to understand the options given to you for promoting affiliate products online.

1. Adsense-based sites

An Adsense site should offer visitors great amounts of quality information, and it displays AdSense in prominent places on the site. These sites only serve one purpose, and that is to get clicks on those ads. Each click makes you money so it is a very good option to consider. The problem with adsense sites is that you have one shot at making money and once a visitor clicks on an ad, he’s gone forever.

3. Sales-oriented site

These sites offer reviews of affiliate products and serve as a direct sales websites that funnel their visitors to the affiliate sales pages. The direct sales site is designed to encourage visitors to click through to the merchant’s sales page and buy the product.

4. SEO-based sites

By producing large quantities of great content and being properly configured, SEO-based sites can get a strong presence in the search engines. Also, it is important for an SEO-based site to get a lot of backlinks with their targeted keywords.

5. Opt-in sites

Opt-in sites are basically sites created for the sole purpose of getting subscribers to your mailing list. This gives you an ability to market many different products to every person that signs up for your newsletter or ezine. Subscription boxes have to be on prominent places on each page of a website to get the desired effect. By providing people with free affiliate marketing resources, you can use articles to get subscribers to sign up for your list.

This are 5 different styles of marketing that can mix with each other and, with testing, can produce great results.
