Have you ever tried to find something in a really dark room? Let me give you an idea of what this feels like (if you are living in a place that experiences midnight sun) - You think you know where it is geographically, so as you walk toward the supposed location you end up leaving bits of your shin on every item that has an edge (coffee tables, chairs, toolboxes, ladders, your first PC tower that you bought in the late 1920’s, etc).

After walking your first full circle (you realize that you went around in a circle by landing up at the door that you used to enter the room!), you try again. This time you have better luck because the skin from your shins has left mental markers on the territory that you have already covered.

This experience is similar to promoting an affiliate program that does not offer item tracking. You have to do a lot of “ground work” (testing different keywords, banners, product links, etc) before you reach your goals. Item tracking simplifies this process by allowing you to see the actual items that you are selling. This provides you with a real advantage over your competitors because you are now able to target relevant products at you audience. Gone are the days of promoting a polka dot bikini to your visitor, who is a sandal-loving-surfer-dude. By targeting the products that your consumers are interested in, you will drastically increase your conversion rate. Couple this with our awesome product feed (available via the interface) and you are on your way to earning serious commissions!

If you have not have not absorbed the message yet – the Beckersurf.com affiliate program now offers item tracking!!! To all of our loyal affiliates that are already producing awesome results: Consider this as a “thank you”. To all new affiliates: Consider this as a huge titanium carrot…..seed. We have planted it for you; it’s up to you to grow it.
