Merchants, we offer a communication  channel that allows you to reach beyond your existing Affiliates. Have a look at our company blog at AvantShare.com. Although the network email tool is effective, functional and easy to use…it’s only reaching your existing Affiliates. You could (and there are times when you should) use our integrated Affiliate Recruitment Tool to reach out to our network wide opt-in recruit list, but there is a better way to acquire new Affiliates while branding your Affiliate program at the same time.

Sponsor A Branded AvantShare Blog Category

This is a one-off service that gets you a dedicated and branded category on our Affiliate network blog. Post to and link from your Affiliate program blogs at-will. This is a unique value proposition for our merchants because:

1. It’s affordable.
2. It’s a mechanism for not only communicating effectively, but branding & link building.
3. It’s a powerful new Affiliate acquisition tool.

Each of your blog article headlines feed to the login screens/dashboard for every network Affiliate, not just those active in your program. This means that any Affiliate who logs in will see your news and offers. There is also a broader value in having the link building tool, ie, link directly to product pages by name for search engine optimization. All merchants who sponsor a dedicated AvantShare category get a login, and two categories for posting. Drop us a line for more info and pricing, and in the meantime take a look at the existing Merchant Affiliate Program Blogs to see how it works (browse each retailer via links in side bar).

We’re excited to announce a new one-off service level for merchants that will offer branded and dedicated blog categories within the AvantShare blog network for active Affiliate programs in AvantLink. AvantShare has hosted the AvantLink network blog since November of 2006 for the purpose of new merchant announcements, Affiliate technology news, press releases and general industry commentary.

With the array of cost per sale, targeted Affiliate marketing archives and relevant AvantLink news being posted for over a year now, the AvantShare.com site quickly gained authority and now ranks highly in the major search engines for many competitive industry terms.

The objective and natural progression of AvantShare is rightfully focused on providing a powerful distribution tool and aggregation point for some of the most technically savvy and progressive Affiliates and merchants in the business. This collaboration between AvantLink and our Affiliate and merchant partners is sure to elevate AvantShare to a new level of authority, with powerful linking options and vast reach for contributors to the blog (contributors will have the ability to build the link popularity to their own site(s) through their respective blog posts).

The AvantShare site will continue to host and categorized the AvantLink network blog, but will also now include merchant branded blogs as well as a channel for Affiliates to post news and information about their sites, technology or general comments related to their businesses. Affiliate participation in the new AvantShare aggregator is of course completely optional (and free!), and merchants will be required to pay a nominal fee for their dedicated branded category.

Merchants interested in utilizing this powerful branding tool from AvantShare, in conjunction with several high value branding initiatives with ABestWeb.com should consider our robust Branding Package now being offered with a substantial package discount on included services. For more information see our Solutions page for more information on the AvantLink’s Affiliate program branding package, or One Off Services which include a blog category on this site.
