Recently I have posted about what I like and dislike about MarketHealth (former JoeBucks) and one of the negative points was the difficulty of choosing international non-English language offers. I have also mentioned that they were very responsive and expressed hope that gradually they would improve their interface and make their affiliates more comfortable.

Well, they lived up to my expectations! It was only a few days after my feedback was sent to them that Gary of MarketHealth has contacted me asking to provide my opinion on the new version of their offers page. Wow - that was impressive! So I had a look and provided my feedback again. While the new version was better in regards of choosing the offers in different language, I still thought it lacked the clarity and ease of navigation and told Gary about it. A few more days later, he wrote back to me and asked me to look again at the version they tweaked based on my feedback. Lo and behold - this new one is perfect! Thanks MarketHealth for listening to your affiliates. Now we can clearly see that you have affiliate offers in:

• English
• Chinese
• Dutch
• French
• German
• Italian
• Portuguese
• Spanish
• and Swedish

and they are all clearly sorted by product category! An international affiliate dream come true.

Hence, my dear fellow affiliates, if you are in health and beauty niche and looking for international offers, you should check out the new offers page over at MarketHealth.com.

MarketHealth has just added additional information to affiliate stats for its affiliates. I have recently posted about the changes going on at MarketHealth and noted how open they are to feedback from their affiliates - and as if to prove my point, they have just improved the data the affiliates see in their stats. Besides the sales and unique clicks we now can see page views info.

What is this info useful for? It can help you diagnose what is going on with your traffic. Depending on the market, your landing page and how well you presell the product and the landing page of the affiliate offer you’re sending your traffic to, people eitehr buy the product right away or browse around the product site for more info that would persuade them to buy it. If you see a lot of page views compared to the unique visitors number and little sales this most likely means that:

• either you have to make your  landing page more clear about the nature of the offer so that you send higher quality traffic to the affiliate product page
• or you might want to try sending your visitor to a different page on the product site (i.e. people cannot find what they are looking for)

If you see little page views (e.g. 1 unique visitor - 1 page view) and no sales that means you’re sending low quality traffic to the product page and people are not looking to buy your product. As soon as they realize what is really being offered they leave.

So the page views info analyzed along with other information serves as an indicator of the quality of your traffic. Pay attention to it and it will help you identify possible problems and maximize your profits.

With the beginning of the new year 2008, JoeBucks has changed its name to MarketHealth. I’ve been an affiliate with them for a while though haven’t put much effort into marketing their offers but intend to spend more of my time on them.

That being said, I guess it makes sense to do a review of this program as I never have done it yet.

What I like about MarketHealth (and I believe other affiliates will like as well):

• a wide range of health and beauty related offers - over 50 at the time of this writing
• convenient payment methods - including money transfers to a debit card (Payoneer) you can register through them
• a wide range of marketing materials for all sites and offers
• some offers are available in different languages, such as Italian, French, German Chinese, Dutch and Spanish (those who know me know I’m into international affiliate markets with their lower competition levels)
• easy to make money even for people new to affiliate marketing - thanks to the HerbalBiz program
• free hosting for sites promoting MarketHealth offers
• the program is two-tier (of course!)
• for affiliates generating lots of sales special extra lucrative conditions apply
• affiliate managers are nice and their response time is very good
• according to the testimonials, the program is endorsed by many authority figures in Web marketing, such as Todd Friesen a.k.a. Oilman and Greg Boser.

What I do not like about MarketHealth:

• Finding offers in languages other than English is not as straightforward as I’d like it to be
• Stats are not as detailed as I’d like them to be - e.g. it’s not very easy to track your referrals - however, if you set up a campaign for each banner and site you use they will be tracked. I guess PPC people will like this setup tho.

Luckily, these guys are open to feedback and invite it even - when they were going to launch the new site they asked affiliates about their opinions about it. So given some time, hopefully they will improve these above issues as well.

So what better way to start the new year than add more affiliate offers to your affiliate sites and make more cash? If you are looking for affiliate programs in the beauty and health market you must give MarketHealth a try.

I have recently posted a review of GenBucks affiliate program but at the time of posting I was not sure about some details, namely affiliate commissions on refill orders. Well, I have contacted GenBucks to find it out for sure and here’s what they told me:

Me: I have a question concerning affiliate commissions - if somebody
orders some pills through my affiliate link and then comes back later
and orders more do I still get commissions on that later purchase?

GB: yes, provided they dont delete their cookies

Me: Thanks! How long are the cookies active for?

GB: they dont expire

So, provided the cookie remains on a person’s computer, all their refills should be bringing you affiliate commissions - lovely! Now, back to work and building and promoting sites and making money!

I have come across mentions of GenBucks affiliate program several times on several sites of other affiliates and grew curious about it. Since nobody I know could tell me what it was all about and I haven’t found any comprehensive GenBucks reviews online I decided to sign up myself and have a look at it. Well, here goes.

Seems like the program is a few years old already (the site exists since 2004). They are open for international affiliates, newly registered affiliates are approved right away. Their products range from PE to mp3 players, with over 40 sites to promote. They claim average conversions of 1:47. The member area navigation is weird at first but once you get used to it it’s pretty operable. The members get access to a number of free tools, site templates, banners and images to use on the sites. There is a member forum that is moderately active. The members get access to the free hosting provided by GenBucks.

The payment options available are wire transfer and a free ATM card that they make for you once your balance reaches $100. The commissions you earn depend on the product and range from 20% to 50%. I’ve no idea yet if refills are counted towards your commission as well. The program is multi-tier: you earn commissions on 3 levels. For each downline signup, you are paid $1 and then you are making 2 to 4 percent on your second level sales and 1 percent on your third level sales. You get your commissions regardless of refunds that may occur which is cool as for me. Besides the commissions which are paid out weekly with a threshold of $100, you also make rewards points: for each $1 you make in commissions, you get $0.01 in reward points. As they are accumulated, you receive different rewards starting from a mousepad or a T-shirt and up to a Bentley car.

Sign up and give it a try - I think it’s worth it.

This just in: Leading Edge Marketing who stand behind the Leading Edge Cash affiliate program has just launched a new affiliate program - MagnaRX Cash.

The programs offers the affiliates a choice of sites to promote ranging from male and female enhancement products to weight loss products - some of which are presented at MagnaRX Cash for the first time ever, being totally new products. The system interface is similar to that of LEC, which is nice as I’m used to it already. Although the program has just been launched, each site has enough of banners, buttons and otehr ad formats to suit most of your needs promoting the products. ou also get paid for returning customers refilling their orders and you have an option of building your downline and getting commissions off people’s sales in your downline - which, to me, is almost a must in an affiliate program.
Compared to LEC, there are even more payment options - besides standard checks, wire transfer and FedEx, MoneyBookers is also a supported payment option. What’s nice to know is that MagnaRX Cash has the same affiliate support team as LEC - I’ve had no problem getting answers to any of my questions so far and they’ve been really helpful and fast.

We’ve yet to see how the conversions will go - but it’s a wise move to jump onto this opportunity while it’s new and the affiliate competition hasn’t picked up yet. Go register here and try it out.
