4. How do I link to Play-Asia.com and how can I link to a specific product?

The key factor at the Play-Asia.com Affiliate Program is your personalized affiliate link, that you can place on your website, in your e-mail, in message boards or wherever you find it appropriate. Whenever a visitor is referred by your link, you will have the chance to earn money.

With the Play-Asia.com Affiliate Program, you can either link to our start page, to any category or even to a specific product page. You will find your personalized affiliate link on the bottom of each page, subject to the condition that you are logged on at Play-Asia.com with your registered affiliate account.

To avoid mistakes, Play-Asia.com highly recommends you to place your personal link only by using the "Copy & Paste" function. We strongly discourage anyone from typewriting the link.

Apart from your personalized affiliate link URL, you will also find a sample HTML code to implement into your website as well as a BBCode (Bulletin Board Code) link, suitable for most of the popular message boards, including phpBB and others.

6. How do I advertise successfully? Are there any useful tips?

To improve your affiliate performance, we have prepared a number of useful tips that you might find helpful. We also recommend you to take advantage of your weekly e-mail affiliate report, which contains personal product recommendations, an overview of top viewed and top selling products and much more.

Positive:

• Text links. Small but very effective. Text links that are well thought-out placed into the context of your website (for example in a news post, in product articles, etc.) often have a much better impact than standard banner ads. Visitors that entrust your personal opinion will happily follow your advice.
• Praise and asking for support. As website owner, there's nothing wrong about asking your visitors for support. Visitors who appreciate your information will be happy to offer something in return.
• "Buy now" links. No matter if implemented in news, product reviews or charts, buy now indicators that link directly to a targeted product will be considered as an extra service by your visitor and at the same time will be an additional source of income for you.
• Keep your website updated. At our banner page you will constantly find updated banners related to new products. Take advantage of it and increase the attention of your visitors.
• Stay informed. Play-Asia.com offers a number of tools that help you to stay updated about new product information, promotions and more. Subscribe to our newsletter and personal agent and study your weekly affiliate report that contains valuable information.

Under certain circumstances not so positive:

• Popups. Popups are considered as annoying by the majority of internet users. Often, popups are even blocked by new generations of web browsers. If you still decide for a popup on your site, we recommend you to make sure that it only appears one time per visit and not at every page.
• Too many banners. Of course you can still place banners of other sites or shops at your website. However, please bear in mind that too many banners might leave a negative impression on your visitor and might finally lead to less clicks.
