Monetize Your Web Site Traffic using Video Ads from Gaiam and GT Media

Are you looking for ways to make money online by leveraging your website traffic?

Look no further, Gaiam and GT Media have an affiliate marketing program, through Linkshare affiliate network and managed by AMWSO, that lets you add video ads to your blog posts and website pages with an affiliate tracking ID embedded into it. By using video ads in your site’s content, you increase the chances of your visitors purchasing the product that you are recommending. The video ad helps them make a decision and it’s easy to setup too.

Consider for example, your site shows image ads of some DVDs which you want your visitors to buy. If your visitors can somehow see the content of the DVD before they actually buy it, don’t you think it will increase the chances of them actually buying it? That’s where a video ad helps you increase your sales.

How does it work?

All you have to do is pick a video that suits your content and embed an affiliate tracking link. Then display the video ad on your page and you get your commission paid for each sale generated from that video. It doesn’t just end there, when someone else embeds your video in their site, the tracking link goes along with the video and you earn your commission for sale generate through that ad on another site. I would say, this affiliate program has a clear edge over other similar marketing programs and you must definitely give it a try.

If you have a paid membership with WebVideoZone, you can add any video to your site and embed the affiliate link to it. Otherwise if you like to create your own videos, you may do so and get it approved prior to using it on your site. Here is a list of videos currently available to affiliates and more videos of Gaiam/GT Media are being added. Also, at the time of writing this post, Gaiam announced the launch of Linkshare’s new RSS feature using which you can leverage your RSS feeds to promote video ads. Here is a link to see an example of RSS video ads.

Will it work for you?

Yes, for many reasons. One being that you will now have an advantage of either creating your own video to embed in your content to achieve higher conversion ratio or use the already available videos along with your content for better conversion. If your site is dedicated on affiliate marketing, you will really be pleased by using this kind of video ads along with your content to achieve better results.
