Yesterday we posted about Affiliate Program Branding for Merchants, and today we’re excited to announce that our one-off service that offers merchants a branding category on AvantShare is now live!

AvantShare has proven to be a powerful distribution channel for AvantLink this past year, quickly establishing itself as an authority site in the industry by archiving relevant industry news, technology features and details for dozens of quality Affiliate programs. For a very competitive price merchants can now secure their own dedicated (and branded) category on AvantShare.com to promote their Affiliate efforts, their link building campaigns and their overall business bottom line.

From our Solutions page, more information on merchant blog categories:

Branded AvantShare Blog Category - Dedicated and branded Affiliate program blog category on the AvantShare blog network. Use your dedicated category on AvantShare to post Affiliate relevant promotions, company news, product features, Affiliate coupons and any other content or links related to an Affiliate program or merchant site using the AvantLink platform. Costs associated with this one-off service include a one time $500 set-up fee, then a $300 annual renewal fee.

In addition to a brief post from yours truly introducing the new merchant blogs, two of our merchants launched their blog categories yesterday by posting intros (and even the first merchant promo!). The two progressive merchants who signed on early for a blog category include Altrec.com Outdoors and the fine folks from Massey’s Outfitters (and their three sister stores). Click the links below to read their official first posts to AvantShare.com blog network!

Merchants interested in sponsoring a dedicated category for their program(s) on AvantShare are encouraged to contact us to discuss the benefits of distributing news and promotions (in addition to powerful link building opportunities) through this channel. We also have a complete Affiliate Program Branding Package for merchants now, that includes a blog category on AvantShare as part of the package. Check out the thread and subsequent support for this package from the ABestWeb community!
