The Point of a Clerks Affiliate Store Website!

I remember back when there was only one or two SEO Clerks Affiliate Stores about and they were pretty simple and to the point, they listed services with the owner's Affiliate ID attached in order to bring in new sign-ups and earn on their purchases. Since then, with new affiliate store software being made, old software being improved, etc.. and there being a lot more stores about now, I think the whole point of what they are for has been lost a bit. In my opinion, and what I see to be right is this..

(A) Internet >>> (B) Affiliate Store >>> (C) SEO Clerks >>> (D) Purchases / Commissions

What you want is to get people to from the Internet onto your affiliate store though advertising, etc.. then when they are on your affiliate store, you want them to move onto SEO Clerks and sign up as soon as possible, once they have signed up on SEO Clerks, you have done all you can for that person and you just want/hope/need them to purchase, just continue on and try to get more people doing the same.. From A to B, then onto C to sign up as soon as possible.

What I am seeing a lot of now is people wanting to keep potential sign ups on there affiliate stores. For example, affiliate store scripts which have the option for people to sign up to them, so basically the SEO Clerks Affiliate Store building a member base of its own. Now, building a member base for your website, isn't a bad thing, and I have a couple of websites myself with member bases, but not my affiliate stores, on them I want to increase the SEO Clerks Member Base with people affiliated to me. It is hard getting a lot of sign ups on SEO Clerks, but by adding the step where they sign up to your website first, to ultimately still sign up on SEO Clerks is just not the way to go in my opinion.

What an affiliate store should do is encourage its visitors to buy the services listed on it, have different pages listing services of different price, different categories, from different sellers, also add pages or filters for pricing, member level, most sales, most reviews, etc.. Encourage the visitors to order and sign up while doing it. There is no need for your affiliate store's visitors to have the option to sign up to the affiliate store, have a balance on the affiliate store, or anything similar.

This is just my opinion, and what I believe is the right way to do/run an affiliate store. Feel free to reply below with your thoughts about anything I have said, also ask me anything too and ill get back to you straight away.

This is a great article and I agree with it. You should be getting people to buy from your store, not sign up to your store unless signing up to your store is automatically signing them up to SEOClerks. On my store, I have a "register" button which redirects to the SEOClerks sign up page using my affiliate ID so I still make money. I also have a "sell" button which redirects to the selling page on SEOClerks, again using my affiliate ID in case a new members wants to sell a service and will need to sign up first.

Sean101 :

I noticed that there are other Websites out there that also have an API and Affiliate Programs that don't really Compete with SEOClerks, but still have Categories that may attract people in a Similar Niche. (Amazon, ebay, Freelancer, etc.)

Amazon actually has one of the biggest, most powerful Affiliate Programs in the World. So big, they named the U.S. Government also calls the "Affiliate Nexus Taxes" the "Amazon Tax"!!

You should check into this idea. It's kinda like "Cross-Affiliate Marketing"

Check out the LEFT Sidebar at one of my Stores HERE (still experimenting)

I also had a Domain that I bought that was just Parked and not gaining any Rankings or anything, so I created a Fully Automated Wordpress Site using RSS Feeds from SEOClerks, ListingDock, & CodeClerks (using Services, WTB, & WTT from ALL Three), and mixed with Affiliate Feeds from Amazon, and Freelancer - It's Called: http://socialcurrency.pw Not only does it Posts automatically, but it also shares each Post to Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Linkedin and Path (multiple profiles of each- optional)

The Homepage Features a Mixture of Feeds from ALL Sites.

But then, each Category will feature Posts from Particular Sites.
Example:

The "SEO Services" Category Features Feed from SEOClerks Standard RSS
The "SEO Jobs" Category Features WTB Requests from SEOClerks
The "Social Media Jobs" Category Features Posts from Freelancer
The "BUY. SELL. TRADE" Category Features WTT, WTB, and Services Posts from ListingDock
Then, the "Software", "Video Game", and "Electronics" Categories are Amazon

Once you Put your Feeds in and Create and assign them to Categories. It will continue to Post Fresh Data on Auto-Pilot for LIFE!!
