DEMOGRAPHIC TARGETING

Demographic targeting can be said to be a method by which advertisers focus on sites that specifically target certain demographic groups. For example, an affiliate marketer sells a product that you feel will appeal particularly to women ages 18-32 with children. A demographic targeting application can search for websites that appeal to these three specific groups. The marketer then knows which sites he wants as affiliates instead of random selection.

When affiliates are designing their sites, they should keep demographics in mind for the sake of useful click. Try to build sites that will either appeal to a broad range of demographics or site that will appeal very strongly to one or two large demographics. This may get the attention of advertisers who will wish to take you on as affiliates. it will be an added advantage for search.

This is useful because more women will buy bras than men. More people with children are going to be buying diapers than people without children. Making sure that ads for products that certain groups are more likely to buy are directed at those groups is an efficient way of generating sales. People tends to click on what they are looking for.

Usually, such incentives are like profit sharing, you get some percentage of the sale each time you successfully refer a customer who buy their products or perform whatever thing the merchant stipulates. It can be also called Referral Programs by some people. Affiliate marketing is best promoted on your website when you already have a site that receive good traffic. This means that you will need to increase the traffic to your website. You simply recommend the affiliate product to your site visitors which will save you some marketing budgets. If you don't have a website, you'll have to promote your affiliate link through Google Adword system which would cost you some advertising money but you'll make money at the end.
